BEFORE YOU START: STEPS TO TAKE

  • Please communicate with your supervisor on where to report on the first day. Confirm your start date, time, place, commuting options and parking options.  
  • Complete your Right Start paperwork. Check what hire documentation, including proof of eligibility to work in the United States, you may need for your first day.

RIGHTSTART@欧美三级片

RightStart is the process that facilitates the completion of new hire paperwork for all new employees. The program is designed to get employees off on the right foot by ensuring that necessary paperwork is completed on or before the employee's first day of employment.

Information for Foreign Nationals

INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS (J-1)

  • Check-in is required with International Services (IS) for all new J-1 scholars and takes place via Microsoft Teams with an appointment set during your onboarding. If you have questions email j1visa@usf.edu. Scholars may check-in at any time without an appointment.
  • After all immigration documents have been verified, scholars who will be paid by the university will receive a letter which they can take to the local Social Security Administration office to apply for a card (after the scholar has been in the U.S. for ten days). Once this is completed, the scholar will receive a receipt letter from the Social Security Administration which can then be taken, along with all required work authorization documents, to Human Resources for RightStart in order to complete new hire paperwork.
  • Foreign National employees with another visa status (TN, H1-B) should have met all work authorization requirements prior to coming to RightStart. If an international employee comes to RightStart without a receipt letter from the Social Security Administration, and they do not have a Social Security card or their documents are not complete, they will be given a memo to return to IS until such time as they have all required documents.
  • Once the employee has been entered into GEMS, they will receive a temporary ID number. This ID number will allow international students to apply for Student Health Insurance. Note: the State of Florida mandates that all international students must have health insurance by the fifth day of classes. For more information, contact the Student Health Services Insurance office.
  • As soon as the employee receives his/her permanent Social Security card (which should take no more than three months) he/she should bring that card to University Payroll (SVC 0077) so that their temporary ID number can be updated in the system with the employee's permanent Social Security number.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS (F-1/J-1)

  • Check-in is required with International Services (IS) for all new international students and takes place via Microsoft Teams. After arrival in the US, the student attends this Virtual Check in at set times.  For process and times go to /world/international-services/arrival-and-orientation/document-check.aspx. If you have questions email globalstart@usf.edu.  A schedule of check-in times is communicated prior to the start of every semester through iStart.
  • Once the student has completed check-in and all immigration documents have been verified, the student will receive a letter which they can then take to the local Social Security Administration office to apply for a card after the student has been in the United States for ten (10) days. Once this is completed, the student will receive a receipt letter from the Social Security Administration which can then be taken, along with all required work authorization documents, to Human Resources for RightStart@欧美三级片.
  • At RightStart, the student will complete their new hire paperwork. This is required to get processed in the GEMS system and on payroll.
  • Please note that students holding a J-1 visa are also required to have a work authorization letter from International Services.

New Hires to 欧美三级片

RightStart@欧美三级片 is triggered by the issuance of an offer letter by the hiring department. In the offer letter, new employees are given specific instructions on what to bring, and when and where to report. An HR Representative will assist new employees in the completion of new hire paperwork and provide essential information regarding pay and benefits (if benefit eligible). This process takes up to an one hour to complete.

All new employees are required to attend RightStart on or before their first day of employment. 

In order to help you through this process, please be prepared to:

  • Provide documentation that establishes your employment eligibility to work in the U.S. (in accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986).
  • Provide your passport, I-9 form, visa and appropriate immigration support documents based on visa class, if you are a foreign national.
  • When you have completed all of your paperwork in HR, you should report as instructed in your offer letter.

Rehires to 欧美三级片

An employee who left employment with 欧美三级片 for more than one year, is treated as a new hire and must complete new hire paperwork prior to starting work. If an employee has been separated from the university for less than one year, the department may appoint him/her by completing an Appointment Status Form and attaching the signed offer letter. Once the rehiring process is completed and updated in GEMS, the employee may access GEMS Self Service to update their personal information.

Information about your NetID, email and staff ID card 

During your first week, you'll be able to set up a NetID after you have an official 欧美三级片 employee ID number.

  • Your 欧美三级片 email will be created automatically after you have set up/activated your NetID.
  • You'll be able to get your staff ID card approximately 48 hours after the completion of your new hire paperwork.  If possible, it can be beneficial to complete your paper work prior to your first day of work.
    • The 欧美三级片Card is the official identification card of the University of South Florida. The 欧美三级片Card is a multi-functional card with digitized photo and electronic identification and validation for departments needing to verify student and/or employee status. The 欧美三级片Card was designed as a platform for a multitude of services and functions. For example, many buildings have card-access entry. The 欧美三级片Card provides access to the 欧美三级片 Library resources. Funds can be placed on the 欧美三级片Card for use in on-campus vending machines.
    • For additional information, including how to get your 欧美三级片Card, please visit IT's Card Resource page.
