Welcome to your new role at Rutgers University-Camden! We are committed to making your transition a smooth one. On these pages you will find answers to frequently asked questions new employees may have.
I-9 Employment Verification
All new employees are required to complete the Employee Eligibility Verification I-9 process with the Office of Human Resources. This process establishes an employee’s identity and eligiblity to work in the United States pursuant to the 1986 Immigration and Reform Act. You will be contacted by an HR representative for this process as the online form must be completed within the first three days of employment. The meeting will require that you are prepared with the original forms of the acceptable documents required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for verification of your employment eligiblity.
Please contact Natalie Barron in the Camden Human Resources Office to complete the I-9 process
