Please reference the Onboarding Best Practices document for guidance on best practices for successful onboarding here at JMU. Utilize the New Hire Checklist as a resource for orienting your new employees to their roles, department, and the university as a whole. 

Supervisors of Classified employees should receive a New Hire Checklist specifically for Classifed employees that will need to be signed and returned to HR. The checklist below is a separate checklist and simply serves as a resource for the onbording of all other classifications of employees.
