New Hire Arrival and Orientation

Please bring all new hires into HR on morning of their fist day. They will be required to complete new hire paperwork that will take about half an hour. We will need to make copies of their ID and documents to verify that they can work in the U.S. In addition, we will also need to make a copy of their Social Security Card for IRS purposes.
