Complete the I-9 Verification Process
After you accept your job offer, you will receive an email from a Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ Human Resources team member with details about the I-9 process and instructions for how to complete this step remotely. This step can be done in advance of your start date but must completed within your first three days of employment. Download the list of acceptable documents. 

Plan for Your First Day
Confirm the date, time, and place of your first day of work with your manager. Your manager will also be able to provide guidance on where to park and how to get to your area/office. Depending on the job duties and department, other details to discuss may include dress code, lunch breaks and/or break room amenities.

Complete Your Benefits Enrollment Within Your First Month

Benefits-eligible team members have a wide array of insurance options and benefits plans to choose from for themselves and their spouse/dependents. Please note, new employees must finalize their benefits elections within your first 30 days on the job, otherwise, you will most likely need to wait for the annual open enrollment period to make changes to your elections. 

Not sure if you're benefits-eligible? With very limited exceptions, any full-time or part-time team member who works 30 or more hours per week is considered benefits-eligible. 

Keep an eye on your email! You will be contacted by your campus HR team with more information about your benefits options and instructions on how to make elections. In the meantime, take a look at our Summary of Benefits, or log in to view our (eRaider account required.)

Please note, you will need to setup your eRaider account before you create your Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ e-mail address. 

To begin, you will need your eRaider setup code.

It's fast and easy to enroll in Direct Deposit through your (eRaider account required)! Select the Employee tab, locate the My Texas Tech information section, then click Update my Direct Deposit..

Should you elect to enroll in direct deposit, we advise you to check your earnings statements for your first three or four checks to ensure everything looks correct.

In addition, you will also get an email from Payroll Services stating a change has been made to your direct deposit.  

Pay Information and Time Off

Payroll processes, time and leave reporting, direct deposit and earnings statements for Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ team members are coordinated by the TTU System Division of Payroll and Tax Services. The TTU System Board of Regents approves the Holiday Schedule for each institution for all eligible employees, but the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ Human Resources team administers the institutional holiday calendar and other institutional leave. 

Reporting Time and Leave

Whether you are hourly (non-exempt) or salaried (exempt), contains valuable information about reporting the hours you've worked, or the hours of leave you have taken.

Semi-monthly (non-exempt) employees report the number of hours worked through their timesheet on WebRaider or TimeClock Plus (depending on the position). This timesheet is submitted twice per month. If one of the pay dates falls on a weekend or holiday for semi-monthly payroll, you will be paid on the last workday prior to the weekend or holiday. 

Monthly (exempt) employees are paid on the first working day of the month and only report the number of leave hours taken. Paychecks are issued on the actual first working day of the month. For example, if Sept. 1st falls on a Saturday, and Monday, Sept. 3rd is Labor Day holiday, paychecks will be deposited/released on Tuesday, Sept. 4th.

In addition to NTMO, new employees may be assigned other required training courses in accordance with state and federal legal requirements, University Policy, or administrative necessity. You will be notified through your institutional email account of any required trainings. You can also review your required training courses in your (eRaider account required), in the Employee tab, within the Training Resources section. 

The STAT!Alert emergency notification system communicates alerts and information to Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ faculty, staff and students in the event of a campus or regional emergency.

To ensure you receive notifications for your campus, please (eRaider account required).

Additionally, please be aware that all emergency notifications and status updates will be posted on www.ttuhsc.edu/emergency and shared through Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ social media channels.
