Hiring Instructions

For those hired for pay:

1. If you don't have an I-9 employment verification filed with Rice University, you'll need to get one. The Baker Institute's administration team can help. Ask Ed to be taken downstairs.
2. Log in to Esther and complete a SPAF (Student Personnel Action Form) - just search for it and it comes up pre-populated. Print out the completed form and return it to Ed or to the finance office downstairs. Unless instructed to the contrary, put "Research Assistant for the McNair Center" in the job title/description.
3. If you haven't already set yourself up for direct deposit, you can do that through Esther.
