OVERVIEW OF INVITATION PROCESS AND APPOINTMENT CRITERIA FOR NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION

The hiring department is responsible for processing the appropriate appointment form and any other required documents for all new hires.

The appointment is completed online using the Human Resources Transaction system available via Self Service/FO Web Applications (http://hris.uiowa.edu). The appointment form is initiated by the department, routed online for signatures/approval through the University Workflow system, and arrives in Human Resources for processing.

Additional information, training, and manuals for the HR Transaction System and the Workflow System are available from your departmental/organizational Human Resource administrator. Information is also available at the Information Management Finance and Operations (IMFO) web site: http://www.uiowa.edu/hr/imfo/.

UI Learning & Development captures new hire information and generates letters of invitation for both the department and the new employee. The new employee is assigned to the next available orientation and the invitation and tentative agenda are sent.

General Work-Related Information

General work-related information is the information that is general in nature (not job-specific) and needs to be relayed to the new staff or faculty member during the first two weeks of employment.

Then it is important for the supervisor to check back with the staff or faculty member during the first month to ensure the new employee understands the information and has an opportunity to ask questions.
