Are these legally reviewed for my country?

No. They include notes for the UK, US, UAE and India, but employment law changes and varies locally. Have a qualified adviser check before use.

What is a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan?

A plan for a new hire’s first three months: learning in the first thirty days, contributing by sixty, owning work by ninety — with what the manager and buddy do too.

What should an offer letter include?

Job title, start date, pay, hours, location, probation, any conditions such as references or right-to-work checks, and how to accept.

How long should a job description be?

Short enough to read on a phone. Lead with what the person will achieve in the first year.

What is a structured interview scorecard?

A sheet that asks every candidate the same questions and scores answers against agreed examples, which makes comparisons fairer.

What is the statutory holiday minimum in the UK?

5.6 weeks a year — 28 days for someone working five days a week, which can include bank holidays.

How much annual leave do UAE employees get?

Thirty calendar days after a year of service, and two days a month between six months and a year.

Can I edit and rebrand them?

Yes. They are meant to be adapted to your company.

Do they work without Nest?

Yes. They are plain documents and spreadsheets.

How do they work inside Nest?

In Nest, onboarding plans become assigned tasks and policies are acknowledged by each employee, with a record kept.

Can I request a template?

Yes. Tell us the document you keep rewriting.

In short

What are the Treepie Nest templates?

The Treepie Nest templates are twelve free HR templates covering the employee lifecycle: hiring, onboarding, policies, performance and leaving. They include a job description, interview scorecard, offer letter, 30-60-90 onboarding plan, leave and remote work policies, a one-to-one agenda and an offboarding checklist. Each is written in plain language with notes for the UK, US, UAE and India.

Templates: 12 across the lifecycle
Best first: 30-60-90 onboarding plan
Regions noted: UK, US, UAE, India
Sign-up: None — download directly

Leave policy · four regions

The minimum your leave policy has to clear.

The leave template has a section per region. Here is the floor it starts from.

United Kingdom · statutory annual leave5.6 weeks28 days for a five-day week, which can include bank holidays. Accrues from day one; part-timers pro-rata.

Statutory sick pay from the first day of absence (since April 2026)
Up to 52 weeks maternity leave; statutory pay for 39
Carry-over rules apply to some of the entitlement

General information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by contract, sector and location — check with a qualified adviser before publishing a policy.

They know what good looks like by Friday.
4 · Every fortnight
One-to-one agenda
Small problems surface while they are small.

Exit interview

Rollout

Putting HR templates to work.

A template in a shared drive helps nobody. Four steps make them part of how the company runs.

Start with onboarding, not policies
New hires feel the first ninety days immediately. Policies matter, but nobody reads them in week one.
Localise before you publish
Leave, notice and pay rules differ by country. Check each template against local law first.
Name an owner for each
A policy without an owner is out of date within a year.
Store them where people look
In the HR system or handbook, not a shared drive folder called “Final_v3”.

Who it’s for

Which template each role starts with.

In a small company, HR is often three people’s part-time job.

HR managersPolicies and the offboarding checklist.“Is our leave policy compliant in every country we hire in?”

Founders & office managersOffer letter and first-day checklist.“What do we need ready before someone starts Monday?”
