Part-time Employment

Hiring process for part-time employees

  1. 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
  1. Employee application & personal profile form

    Once the hiring request is submitted, Payroll will contact the employee to complete the following required forms:

    Important notes:
    • 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.
  1. 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.

  1. 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.

Supervisor responsibilities for bi-weekly employees

Supervisors of bi-weekly employees are responsible for ensuring that all time entries in Kuali Time are accurate. This includes:

  • Correcting missed punches, missing time, and 24-hour time blocks.
  • Reviewing and approving timesheets for each bi-weekly pay period.

Timesheet approval deadline - Supervisors must approve timesheets by Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. during payroll week.

End of employment

When an employee's employment ends, supervisors must notify Payroll by sending the following information to sicepay@iu.edu:

  • Employee's name
  • Employee's university ID number
  • Position to be terminated (or record number)
  • Date of termination

Timely submission of this information ensures accurate payroll processing and record management.
