The SAS Telecommuting Information and Resources site has been created to provide you with information and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. You will find needed policies, forms, and tools to assist you and your staff in working remotely during these challenging times.


Onboarding and Orientation: 

Please use the following guide to prepare for your new employee to begin their employment with Rutgers University:

Prior to start date:

  1. Ensure that the employee has accepted the offer, signed an offer letter and completed a background check. Please make sure that the employee's start date is AFTER all of these tasks have been completed. 
  2. Forward the new employee's new hire form, signed offer letter, and completed background check certification to the SAS-HR On-boarding Team
  3. The SAS-HR On-boarding Team will schedule a meeting with the employee to complete the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification process and collect all supporting documentation.
    1. The Employee will need to be physically present during this meeting. 
    2. Please note: the I-9 needs to be completed on or prior to the employee's start date in order to be compliant with Federal regulations. To find out what is needed during the I-9 appointment, please visit our 'For New Employees or Re-hires' Page.
    3. If the employee is being re-hired, please contact the SAS On-boarding Team.
    4. For more information on the I-9 process and who needs to complete one, please visit the 'I-9 and E-verify' page. 
  4. The SAS-HR Onboarding Team will then submit the payroll record into the HCM Rutgers Payroll System for processing.
  5. After the hire has been submitted into HCM by the SAS On-boarding Team, the department approver will be notified to review and approve the record.
  6. The hire will be reviewed by either University Human Resources or Academic Labor Relations. 
  7. As the Hiring Manager, please make sure to do the following in order to prepare for your employee's first day:
    1. Request Emaill Account
    2. Notify Facilities/IT of new hire
    3. Provide employee with keys and/or swipe card access
    4. Ensure work space is ready (clean area, functional computer, etc). 
    5. Determine if the employee will be driving to campus. If so, please submit a temporary parking request to the Department of Public Safety.
