New Student Employees

Your supervisor will send us a New Hire Form and we will email you a link to the Payroll Packet along with instructions for your clearances. The first page of the packet has instructions for each form. Save the packet to your computer first. Please follow the instructions carefully, including the instructions for clearances that will be in the email we send you.

Instructional videos can be found on YouTube.

Clearances: Instructions and payment codes will be emailed to you after we receive the New Hire Form from your supervisor. If you already have your own clearances, we can accept them up to 5 years old. The State does not allow us to accept volunteer clearances for an employment position.
