When the unit is ready to hire a new employee or rehire a former employee, the unit will need to process the I-9 form in Tracker (unless the person is completely unpaid, a PREDOC FELLOW only, or a POSTDOC FELLOW only). Then the unit must follow the HR Front End New Hire transaction procedures. See below for instructions.

• Section 1 is to be completed by the paid employee no later than their first day of work
• Section 2 is to be completed by the employing unit no later than the third day of work

When the unit has completed all required pre-hire and I-9 processes, the unit will need to follow the appropriate instructions and process the transaction through the Human Resources Front End (HRFE).

• HR Front End Transaction Tips also include adding a new job, ending an old job, changing home org, and whatever else is relevant for the current employee.

Position Maintenance - If the unit needs to create a new position or maintain an existing position as part of the hiring process, the following resources may be helpful.

• Faculty & Other Academic Position Class (P-Class) Structure (PDF) (see page 1) 
• Academic Professional Position Class (P-class) Structure (PDF) (see page 2) 
• Fourth Character Value List for AP P-Class Structure (PDF) (see pages 3 – 6) 

Employee Information Form and Loan Default for a New Hire/Rehired Employee - The unit needs to ensure that the employee completes the Employee Information Form and Loan Default before routing the transaction. Ensure those forms reflect Employee Completed status when viewing the New Hire Forms tab (within HRFE). Within 30 days of hire, unit also needs to ensure the employee has completed Ethics Training. UI New Hire

New Hire Password Issues - The initial system-generated password is case-sensitive and may include a capital letter. If the employee forgets their password, the unit can reset their password in the HR Front End transaction: HR Front End Login Page
