Hiring Proposal

  • The PeopleAdmin Hiring Proposal is initiated by Human Resources.
  • For non-teaching positions, the hiring proposal will be filled in and forwarded to either the Budget Officer for Non-Grant positions or ORTT Payroll for Grant funded positions. The Admin or Admin G will no longer need to fill in the hiring proposal.
  • However, if the hiring proposal is sent back for corrections, the Admin or Admin G will need to address the situation and update the hiring proposal accordingly.
  • When HR marks the position FILLED, HR will also disqualify any remaining candidates and send them an email informing them that the position has been filled.
  • Policy 3.20—The Hiring Proposal must be fully approved before a new hire is allowed to begin working.
  • When all hiring activities are complete (background check, hiring proposal, etc.), search chair receives an email from HR indicating that the new hire is clear to begin work.

Onboarding

Once the hiring proposal is fully approved, HR sends electronic new hire paperwork to the new hire.  This allows new employees to complete the majority of their "paperwork" before their first day of work and information about New Employee Orientation if applicable.

Work Day 1 for all New Employees

The Hiring Manager should meet with their new employee on the first day of work to review the Position Description in detail to ensure understanding of all responsibilities and expectations as part of the departmental orientation. HR has made available Supervisor Checklist forms which are used to aid hiring managers with departmental orientation.
