i created a new apple id as i have set up a work ipad and I do not want the company to have acess to my main apple account

I have a personal Mac and a IPhone attached to my primary apple id. I was issued an IPAD by my employer. I am trying to set up a new apple id so my ICOUD and personal account information are not connected to my work IPAD. I set it up the first time using my primary id and it downloaded all my photos and contacts. I wiped it again and went online a though I created a new apple id. I tried to set up the IPAD againg and it says it is still linked to primary id and will not accept a new id. How can I create a new apple account, use the new account to setup the ipad, and have it not linked to my primary account? Please help.

Since the initial setup was done using your personal ID, you need to do the steps in the article below so that the iPad belongs to the work ID. This will also help prevent future problems.
