Your supervisor will send us a New Hire Form and we will email you a link to the Payroll Packet along with instructions for your clearances. The first page of the packet has instructions for each form. Save the packet to your computer first. Please follow the instructions carefully, including the instructions for clearances that will be in the email we send you.
