- Initiating a hire
To begin the hiring process, email sicepay@iu.edu at least 2 weeks before the employee's expected start date with the following information:
- Employee's Name
- Employee's Email Address (IU Email if applicable)
- IU ID Number (if applicable)
- Anticipated Start Date
- Account to Fund the Employee
- Is the Employee a student? (Yes/No)
- Hourly Rate (Required if not a student)
- Timesheet Approver
- Employee application & personal profile form
Once the hiring request is submitted, Payroll will contact the employee to complete the following required forms:
- Employment application
- Personal profile form – You may submit this form at the time of the hire request if preferred.
- Payroll will send a Welcome Letter to the employee, outlining all the required steps and forms needed to complete the hiring process.
- The hiring process cannot move forward until both forms are completed and returned to Payroll.
- Do not submit Social Security numbers via email. If a Social Security number needs to be provided, contact sicepay@iu.edu, and we will initiate a SecureShare link for secure document upload.
- Background check & I-9 verification
Background check
A background check is required unless the employee:
- Has not been in the U.S. for at least one year.
- Completed a background check within the last 365 days.
- Has another active job at IU, unless no background check was previously completed.
If required, Payroll will initiate the process, and the employee will receive email instructions.
I-9 verification
All employees must complete the I-9 verification unless they already have an active job record at IU.
- Step 1 - The employee completes Section 1 online.
- Step 2 - The employee presents identification in person at Myles Brand Hall room E230 to complete Section 2.
Remote Employees - If not working in Bloomington, IN, a remote I-9 can be arranged. Contact sicepay@iu.edu for assistance.
Deadline - Must be completed by the third workday to comply with federal regulations.
- Payroll completes the hire (Hire eDoc)
Once all required forms and verifications are completed, Payroll will process the Hire eDoc to finalize the employment record.
- The timesheet will populate immediately after the Hire eDoc is approved or on the effective start date, whichever comes first.
- Employees should verify access to their timesheet and report any issues to sicepay@iu.edu.
