Benefits Orientation
The department office staff will have information about NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION programs available around your starting date. One important component of the program covers university benefits. Note that benefits programs require sign-up within the first 31 days of employment. Other segments cover university organization, university facilities (the Libraries, recreation facilities, the Health Center, and Bookstore), and general university policies (smoking, sexual harassment, diversity, drugs and alcohol).

Parking
Information about parking is available from your department.  New employees should bring their vehicle registration card and their driver's license.

Keys
Inquiries about keys should be made at your department office.

Calling Card Service
"Tangible assets, equipment, supplies, and services owned, leased, or operated by the University are to be used in the conduct of University programs and activities" (FN-14). This includes making long-distance telephone calls. Penn State has established a "Calling Card Service" to allow Penn State faculty and staff to place necessary personal, long-distance calls during the work day. Telephone company or AT&T calling card calls are supported. To use, Dial 8 + 0 + area code + 7-digit number. After the tone, dial your calling card number.

Human Resources Representative
Further questions or concerns can be addressed with the College Human Resources Representative, Robert Hannegan (865-7530).
