New Hires

• Pre-Employment Process
• Employee Orientation

Pre-Employment Process

• Once an applicant has accepted an offer, the applicant will be contacted by a Career Services Specialist to schedule a pre-employment processing appointment.[1] 
• During the pre-employment processing appointment, the applicant will complete an I-9 form[2] and all new hire paperwork. The new hire is given an orientation packet which includes information on their employment location, hours, parking, ID badge card and tax forms.[3] The new hire will then proceed to the Office of Occupational Health.
• At the Occupational Health Office, the applicant will:
  • Complete a medical history questionnaire
  • Discuss past medical history as needed
  • Have a TB test done (a chest X-ray will be performed if TB test has been positive in the past)
  • Provide specimen for toxicology/drug testing
  • Receive an appointment for pre-employment physical
  • Be advised when to return for test results
• The applicant returns to Occupational Health normally two to three days later for test results and a physical:
  • If pending, Occupational Health gives applicant their phone number and advises applicant to call daily to check if test results have come in
  • If failed, Occupational Health informs applicant and Career Services, who informs the department, updates Position Manager, and retrieves the hiring requisition for the future use for another applicant
  • If cleared, Occupational Health clears the applicant in orchid or gives the applicant a clearance slip and sends the applicant back to Career Services
•  The Career Services Assistant sends the new hire’s folder to Organization Development and Training for [orientation].[4]
• When the new hire attends orientation, the pre-employment process is complete.[5]
