1.21.1 Benefits Orientation
Eligible employees are scheduled to attend a benefits orientation conducted by the Human Resources Office. During the benefits orientation, employees receive information regarding College policies, compensation, benefits, safety programs, and other general information about employment at the College. Employees should use the benefits orientation to learn about applicable employment policies and benefits before enrolling. Employees must complete all employment forms to participate in College benefit plans. Employees who fail to complete benefit enrollment forms within 30 days after their start date must wait until the next open enrollment period to register for benefits. Open enrollment periods occur once a year.
1.21.2 New Employee Orientation
New employees are also scheduled by Human Resources to attend one of the New Employee Orientation sessions. New Employee Orientations are sponsored by the Human Resources Department and scheduled quarterly or as needed throughout the year. The purpose of this orientation is to familiarize new employees with the College’s history, mission, vision, values, strategic plan, campus layout, services, and to meet the College President and other key employees. Supervisors are expected to provide their new employees with a more specific orientation about their department and the employee’s new position.
