The New Employee Orientation Process for FACULTY

To help a new employee through this process we provide a checklist of required steps with due dates.  You are encouraged to print this form and check off items as you complete them to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the benefits options available to you and that you will have completed the necessary steps to receive your financial compensation.

Before the first day of your employment as stated in your contract, all new Employees must come to the department of Human Resources to complete the New Faculty Paperwork.  Required first day forms are submitted as well as other documents the employee may not have completed and returned prior to this day.  New employees will then be directed to Park N Pony to obtain their SMU ID badge and parking stickers.

An interactive tutorial, to be completed within the first week of employment, provides the basic information needed for each employee to launch his/her career at SMU.  The tutorial provides an overview with access to resources depending on the employee's individual interests and needs.  Main modules include "About SMU", Working at SMU" and "Employee Benefits".

Parking at Expressway Tower:  visitors to our office who have a current SMU parking sticker may park in the All University Parking Lot to the east of Expressway Tower (marked in yellow on the following link).  If you do not have an SMU parking sticker, you may park in one-hour visitor-designated parking only on the N. Central side of the building.  If your visit takes longer than one hour please ask the HR Customer Service Representative for a parking tag - you will need to relocate your car to the All University Parking Lot on the east side of the building.  Please note that you are subject to a parking ticket or having your car booted if you are illegally parked.

Preventing Sexual Harassment Tutorial

Maintaining a non-hostile work environment is everyone's responsibility.  SMU is committed to providing a workplace free of any form of harassment.  The University expressly prohibits harassment of its students, faculty or staff or of applicants who seek to join the University.  In keeping with this commitment, SMU has arranged for every employee to participate in an on-line tutorial titled "Preventing Sexual Harassment".  This program outlines the current law and the University's policies and procedures for reporting it.
