To begin the onboarding process for a locally funded employee (LFE) or a substitute teacher, you will need to submit a Hire Employee form using the button on this page. Please review the information below before submitting the form.
Even if you are re-hiring an employee who previously worked for your entity, you will need to submit the Hire Employee form before he/she can begin working for your entity again.
To submit the Hire Employee form, you will need the following information for your new employee:
-

Email address

Start date (cannot be prior to the date you submit the notification form)

Once HR processes the Hire Employee form, your new employee will be emailed a link to the onboarding paperwork, which must be completed online.
The conference office hours are Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on the holidays noted on the conference calendar of events. Forms submitted when the office is closed will be processed on the next day the office is open.
Once the employee completes the I-9 portion of their onboarding, HR will notify you of his/her eligibility status. Do not allow a new employee to work prior to the day that he/she completes the I-9 through the online onboarding process. HR will also email payroll forms and information to both you and your new employee at this time.
