April 15 – New Employee Orientation

New Employee Orientation – Occurring from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., this session provides medical, dental, life and disability insurance information, as well as information on payroll, employment basics and leave processes.

New Employee Retirement Orientation – Due to recent changes in retirement plan offerings, two separate sessions of this topic are available. Faculty and Administrative Professional retirement information is covered from 1:30-2:30 p.m. and Civil Service and hourly retirement information is covered from 3-4 p.m.

These offerings are available to all employees statewide via AMS Videoconferencing. Also, the New Employee Orientation topics have been converted to online courses available through the WSU Online Training System (https://hrs.wsu.edu/skillsoft).

Note: The online sessions do not include retirement information. New employees accessing the online courses should still participate in the new employee retirement orientations.
