Onboarding

The University of North Texas System Business Service Center (BSC) uses online onboarding for new employees who are to begin work at any UNT System component (UNT, UNT System, UNT Dallas, UNT Health Science Center).  For onboarding functional questions, visit the Onboarding FAQ page.

Onboarding for Student Employees Overview Video

WHAT IS ONBOARDING?

Onboarding is the process that a new employee goes through to both provide and acquire needed information by the first day of their employment. The process allows new employees to review benefits, parking, policies, payroll information, holiday schedules, and leave information as well as other required employee notices that will help them to become an effective employee.

WHO WILL USE THIS PROCESS?

The online onboarding process should be used by all new employees, including regular faculty and staff, adjuncts, graduate student employees, hourly employees and undergraduate student employees.

ONBOARDING FOR BENEFITS ELIGIBLE FACULTY, ADJUNCTS AND STAFF
At the time an offer of employment is provided the new hire receives an email from the Business Service Center. This email provides them with instructions and information needed to begin the onboarding process. Once the employee completes the onboarding process, an email is sent to the Hiring Manager.

Note: Adjuncts who work at UNT and are less than 50% will be provided onboarding information from the UNT Provost Office. When the employee comes to work on the first day, they will need to meet with their department to provide required I-9 documents. UNT Health Science Center and UNT Dallas employees will provide these documents to the UNT System Human Resources Department on your campus.
ONBOARDING FOR GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT EMPLOYEES
Upon hiring a graduate student or undergraduate student, the department should direct the student employee to the following site Onboarding for Student Employees. The employee will need to know their employee user identification number (EUID) and their student id number (EMPLID) In addition, the hiring department will need to provide the employee with the department identification number (Dept. ID) in order for the employee to complete the onboarding process. UNT Health Science Center student employees will need to use the following Dept. ID: S10222.
