Human Resources announces new employment certification for supervisors

As of Aug. 1, a new employment certification for supervisors has been launched.

The New Hire Regulations and Payroll Responsibilities for Supervisors training was created in response to a recent internal audit and must be completed annually by all supervisors. Anyone identified as a supervisor (with at least one direct report) will have the course assigned.

As with all employment certifications, the course is housed in SuccessFactors Learning. Supervisors will receive an email from SuccessFactors Learning when the course is assigned to them, and the training will be available in “My Learning Assignments.”

The training contains two modules. The first module outlines the processes for onboarding new hires, including Form I-9 completion and an introduction to potential training courses required of all new hires. The second module introduces the payroll calendar and timekeeping responsibilities, including approving time off requests.

The training was created and approved by Candace Shaffer, associate vice president for benefits and payroll, Human Resources; Kathleen Thomason, senior principal accountant and projects lead, Controller; and Kristi Mickle, executive director, Finance and Business Operations.

Completion reports will be sent to leadership. Questions about the training may be directed to the HR Service Center at hr@purdue.edu.
