Side note: If prompted as far as if the device will be used for work or home. Always select strictly "Work" as this device requires this for proper registration.
At this point, the new employee should be set with their tablet. If at any point the device fails, make sure to reset and start from the beginning by selecting the three vertical dots on the top right of the menu. The "reset" button will be visible afterward. The turnaround is usually not very long, so this is an option during the setup process.
