Step 1: Department or Academic Analyst submits ServiceNow case to notify their HR Partner of incoming 7/1 Faculty.

Step 2: SHARE HR Partner will send the new faculty a DocuSign to complete and schedule their online onboarding session prior to 7/1 if possible.

Step 3:SHARE HR Partner or HRIM will process new hire template and submit to UCPath for approval. This is part of template first.

**If there are late requests or if the new hire delays onboarding, this step may occur after onboarding is completed. 

Step 4: New hire needs to complete onboarding prior to performing work. If new hire does not complete onboarding by the first day of employment, they may be subject to a damage payment or out of compliance I-9.

Step 5: (Oath applies to US Citizens only): If the new hire completes their DocuSign (which includes the oath) after they have begun working, then they are subject to a damage payment unless they have a signed oath in the last 12 months.

Step 6:In order for the I-9 to be compliant, the new hire needs to complete section 1 of their I-9 by their first day of work and section 2 needs to be completed no later than 3 business days after the new hire’s first day of employment or 3 business days from when the faculty arrives in the U.S.

Step 7: UCPath approves the template. New hire will be issued an EID with a cc to the department.

Step 8: Department or Academic Analyst emails the faculty their Faculty Administrative handbook.
