Information for New Employees

Congratulations on your selection!  We are looking forward to your association with our Agency, and we are eager to ease your transition into the Federal system.

You will be asked to complete many forms during this transition process.  Each form is important and its purpose is unique.  It is our goal to insure that you are fully informed and able to successfully complete all of the required in-processing documents.  Thus, we have prepared web pages which contain the following information:  (1) a detailed description of the specific forms you must complete and bring with you the first day you enter on duty, and (2) a fact sheet of information we believe will be helpful in your arriving on time for your first day of employment.  Please click one of the links below for more information.
