New faculty benefits information, process reminders
New faculty benefits information sessions
New faculty may attend one of three upcoming information sessions designed to provide a comprehensive overview of their new benefits and important election deadlines. A benefits overview is not part of VCU’s New Faculty Orientation day on August 23; VCU Human Resources is providing these information sessions, as well as detailed information online, to help new faculty access resources and make benefits elections earlier. The letters new faculty receive regarding New Faculty Orientation direct them to the online information for benefits and registration for an information session. Visit hr.vcu.edu/new-faculty-2017/ for details.
Reminders about direct deposit, I-9 forms and background checks
Direct deposit forms are required for all new hires. If an employee leaves VCU and returns, the bank account information must be updated to ensure direct deposit into the appropriate account. Anyone with direct deposit through Accounts Payable must complete a new form for Payroll, as these offices do not share the direct deposit form.
As a reminder, the I-9 form must also be updated for anyone rehired with a break in service with VCU. No action is required for those transferring into another position without a break in service. In addition, background checks for employees transferring within VCU must be initiated before the transfer occurs, but do not have to be cleared before the employee starts the new position.
