Preparing for your employee orientation

Employee orientations are conducted remotely via MS Teams or Zoom. A Benefit Services team member will reach out to you directly via email to schedule your new employee orientation. Documents you need to complete and sign will be done electronically via email whenever possible.

The documents you use to verify your I-9 will need to be provided to the City. Staff will coordinate this with you during your orientation process. Do not send these documents via email.
We must also make a copy of your driver license and social security card for your employee file. Staff will coordinate this with you during your orientation process. Do not send these documents via email.
