New Employee Onboarding Process

1. Obtain Presidential Approval
   Ensure you have received Presidential approval before extending a verbal offer to the selected candidate.
   
2. Job Offer and Notification
   The Hiring Manager extends a conditional job offer, contingent upon a successful background check, and notifies HRS of the chosen candidate.
   
3. Background Check
   HRS conducts the background check and informs the Hiring Manager when results are received. If the background check reveals concerns, the Hiring Manager must follow the Background Check Policy to determine next steps. (Background checks are typically completed within 24-72 hours.)
   
4. New Hire Documents
   The Hiring Manager instructs the new employee to check their email. HRS will send required new hire documents (I-9, FERPA, IT Security Tutorial, etc.) via RightSignature to the email address provided in ApplicantPro. The new employee must also provide identification to HRS, as required by the I-9, within 3 business days of their hire date.
   
5. Personnel Action Form
   The Hiring Manager or department completes the Permanent Personnel Action Form.
   
6. Email Account Creation
   Once I-9 identification and Personnel Action Form are received, IT will create the employee's email account (within 1-2 business days).  The supervisor will be notified via email of the new email address and  provided with a link to the New Account Access Form if additional access is required.  The supervisor will notify the new employee that their @lcsc.edu email address has been created and to contact the IT Helpdesk.
   
7. Employment Contract (Faculty and Professional Staff Only)
   After successful routing of the Personnel Action Form, HRS  creates the employee's contract in Workflow. The contract then routes through approvals and is sent to the employee's @lcsc.edu email address.
   
8. Onboarding Checklist
   The Hiring Manager begins following the Onboarding Checklists found here.

   Once the new employee's information is processed in LUMA, the employee will receive three automated emails: Welcome to the State of Idaho; The employee's new State ID; Benefit Enrollment Information (including W-4 and Direct Deposit details)
