Welcome Aboard and Roll Tide!
The University of Alabama is offering New Employee Orientation onsite in our Employee Resource Center. Orientation can provide an incredible experience to meet other individuals that are starting their journey at the Capstone! UA System Health and Safety Guidelines will continue to be adhered to during orientation.
Employee Orientation
One of your first critical steps as a University of Alabama employee will be completing New Employee Orientation. New Employee Orientation will provide you the opportunity to learn more about the University’s traditions, values, and expectations. The session will also provide important information regarding your benefits package and the time-sensitive steps you must take to enroll. Last, you will have a chance to meet colleagues just like you, who are beginning their first days of employment at the Capstone. New employees have 30 days from their date of hire to enroll in benefits.
Orientation is required for all new benefits-eligible faculty and staff. New staff employees hired through our online recruitment system (PageUp) will be scheduled for orientation during their pre-employment appointment with the HR Service Center. If you have not attended your pre-employment appointment, please call the HR Service Center at (205) 348-7732 to schedule today. Faculty or non-benefits eligible staff members who wish to attend orientation can contact HR Learning and Development to register.
NOTE: New faculty must also attend New Faculty Orientation held each August, please visit https://facultyaffairs.ua.edu/faculty-development/new-faculty-orientation for more information.
