Student Onboarding Instructions

 

Congratulations on your employment with Claremont McKenna College! We are excited to work with you to get you started. After you have accepted your position, your manager will submit a request to the Payroll office to initiate your new hire onboarding process. We will reach out to you via e-mail to let you know that your onboarding process has been initiated and is ready to begin.

New Hire Onboarding Instructions

Student new hire onboarding includes completion of all Workday onboarding tasks in addition to the Form I-9. If you are an international student, you will also have to apply for a Social Security Card if you do not already have one. All of these items must be fully completed before you receive clearance from Payroll and may begin working.
