Where to start?
If you are a new employee at University of Arkansas, the best place to start is the New Employee Checklist page maintained by Human Resources. You should also check with your hiring department. They can answer questions, provide resources, or let you know about any specific onboarding tasks they may wish you to complete. As part of the process for beginning employment, once you've accepted your offer in Workday and your hire is complete, you will begin to receive emails from uasys@myworkday.com with instructions to log into Workday to begin tasks. Examples of tasks you will receive: complete I-9, payment elections, benefits enrollment, and other onboarding tasks.

New Employee Onboarding
As a new employee, you will receive tasks in your Workday Inbox that you will need to complete. Please prioritize completing your I-9, which authorizes you to work, the acknowledgement of policies, conflict of interest, and outside employment.
You are encouraged and can complete Section 1 of the I-9 in Workday. You will need to coordinate a time to meet with the Human Resources Employee Services Team, who serve as the campus Onboarding Partners, to provide your Identity and/or Employment Authorization Documents. If you didn't do so when accepting your offer, please complete the HR Online Booking to schedule your time to present your documentation. If for any reason you weren't able to complete Section 1 of the I-9, you can also use the scheduled time to complete the I-9 in person.
If you have any additional questions regarding the I-9 or other onboarding tasks, please email hr@uark.edu for assistance.
