Before an applicant can officially become an employee of the College, we are required by law to verify that the person is a U.S. citizen or alien authorized to work in the United States. The prospective employee must complete the I-9 Form and provide the appropriate documentation in person to Human Resources prior to starting work.
Only at that point can we consider the person an employee of the College, enter them into the computer system, and begin the process of payment and benefit enrollment. Any person performing work prior to such confirmation will not be paid for the work performed.
