Hiring Team Training
Individuals are required to have completed Hiring Team Training prior to serving on a Hiring Team. Training may be self-scheduled in NEOED by selecting Browse Training Catalog under Quick Actions in the NEOED unified dashboard, then typing “hiring” into the search field. The training is titled, “SFA Hiring Team Training.” Choose the enroll button below the course card.
Hiring Adjunct Faculty, Visiting Faculty, Graduate Assistants and Casual Employees
Since adjunct faculty, visiting faculty, graduate assistants and casual (short-term or sporadic) positions do not have to be posted, the hiring process differs slightly from what is described above. University departments should complete the following steps:
- Via your NEOED unified dashboard, navigate to Forms in the top menu bar, then find the Employee Self-Initiated Processes section and click NEOED Data Collection Form, read the instructions, then click Start Process. Click Complete Form and fill out the required fields. Once completed, click Submit. This will submit the hire to HR, which will then assign necessary onboarding paperwork. Restart this process for each new hire, completing the acknowledgement that pops up each time.
- Complete the appropriate EPAF before the employee starts work.
- Your employee will be provided information regarding benefits enrollment and new employee orientation information.
To comply with U.S. law, SFA must verify eligibility for employment for all new employees within three days of hire by collecting a Form I-9 and reviewing original documents establishing the employee's eligibility to work in the U.S.
Referring to the List of Acceptable Documents, employees may present one identification selection from List A or a combination of one selection from List B and one from List C. The employee will need to bring the original documentation to an authorized representative in Human Resources.
