3. I know the location of relevant company facilities and equipment that are central to my day-to-day work experience.


4. I have all the basic resources (information, procedures, equipment, etc.) I need to perform my job effectively


5. I have met with the person I report to and have either met or spoken to co-workers that I need to work with as part of my job.


6. I am aware of all security procedures related to my job and the company in general (access to and use of company property, privileged or proprietary information, etc.).


7. I am aware of all safety requirements, equipment and procedures necessary to perform my job safely.


8. I am familiar with all basic company policies (including conduct, holidays, absenteeism, and vacation time).
   
9. I understand my wage structure and am aware of any bonus or incentive arrangements that could affect how much money I earn.


10. I understand my benefits package (health insurance and other related benefits) and am aware of the basic procedures for using those benefits.
