Other items addressed are supplemental insurance plans, retirement, required trainings, attendance and leave policies, disciplinary actions, performance appraisals, and other topics of interest.

What to bring to Central Office orientation

New employees must bring acceptable identification for the Form I-9 form on their first day. New employee orientation includes the review of the process of completing the Form I-9 in SuccessFactors and the employee has three business days to complete. The employee will access the Form I-9 through the welcome letter email that was sent to the email listed on their application. The remaining forms are to be turned into the respective agency after day one. Please visit the New Employee Paperwork page for more information. 

Parking and Arriving

Please plan on arriving on the Indiana Government Center (IGC) campus no later than 8 a.m. (ET) to give yourself extra time to park as the garages are busy most mornings. New employee parking is validated on day one as long you park in one of the IGC campus parking garages.
