Child Care Needs Assessment
A Child Care Needs Assessment Survey will be sent next week to all members of the university community. This survey is for everyone, even those currently without child care needs. The information gathered from the survey will help us make appropriate decisions as to the feasibility of the university developing a child care center to serve the needs of faculty, staff and students.To maintain confidentiality of the survey results, the university has contracted with WFD consulting, an independent work/life management firm, to design and administer this survey. Participation is completely voluntary and individual answers will not be made available to anyone at UGA. Faculty, staff and student participation is encouraged.

Student Employee Payroll Calendar

New Employee Verification Program
All public employers, including institutions in the University System of Georgia, are required to participate in the Federal Electronic Employment Verification Program (EEVP) effective July 1, 2007. This means that UGA HR will become the central repository for completed Form I-9s for all UGA employees including faculty, staff, temporary employees, and student workers.
New faculty and staff may begin work without the verification completed, but all paperwork must be completed no later than close of business the second day of work. This should not impact our normal procedures as all new faculty and staff meet with Becky on or before the first day of employment to complete paperwork, of which this is one piece. If the Form I-9 and supporting documents are not received by UGA HR within 3 work days of the new hire's employment date, the employee may be subject to termination of employment.
New student assistants must continue to have the Form I-9 completed by the time they begin work. No student should begin employment until this form is completed and turned in to Lucille. If all appropriate documentation is not presented, the student assistant should cease work until that can be produced. At that time, the student may begin work. Two items of note:
- Please remember that you must see the original documentation; faxed or copies brought in by employees may not be used as verification.
- You must forward the completed Form I-9 AND a copy of the documentation to Lucille for routing to UGA HR. If the Form I-9 and supporting copies of the documentation are not received by UGA HR within 3 work days of the new hire's employment date, the employee may be subject to termination of employment.
Upon receipt of the Form I-9 and supporting documents, UGA HR will access the federal employment verification system to initiate the mandatory check. New hires may continue working during the process. If there are issues which must be resolved based on the results of the verification process, HR will contact the hiring department.
