Information for Faculty

Getting Started

  • Post Offer Ergonomic Screening Policy

    University of Northern Colorado requires Post offer medical screenings for prospective employees of high risk occupational groups. Screenings are non-discriminatory evaluations designed to give documented information about a prospective employee鈥檚 physical ability to complete essential functions of the job. Conditional job offers are extended to individuals and hired upon evaluation results of Post Offer Screening.

  • Employment Eligibility Verification

    The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) sought to control illegal migration by eliminating employment opportunity as a key incentive for unauthorized persons to come to the U.S. IRCA makes all U.S. employers responsible for verifying through a specific process the identity and work authorization or eligibility of all individuals, whether U.S. citizens or not, hired after November 6, 1986. To implement this, employers are required to complete Employment Eligibility Verification Forms I-9 for all employees. An employer鈥檚 obligation to review documents is not triggered until a person has been hired, whereupon the new employee is entitled to submit a document or combination of documents of his choice (from List A or a combination of a List B and List C document on the reverse side of the I-9 form) to verify his identity and work eligibility. Hired is defined as actual commencement of employment of an employee for wages or other remuneration. The employee must complete Section 1 of the I-9 Form by the date of hire (i.e. no later than the date on which employment services start). Employees must present original documents. Employers must complete Section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment eligibility within three (3) business days of the date employment begins. If employees are authorized to work, but are unable to present the required document(s) within three business days, they must present a receipt for the application of the document(s) within business days and the actual document(s) within ninety (90) days. However, if employers hire individuals for duration of less than three business days, Section 2 must be completed at the time employment begins.

  • Drug and Alcohol Policy

The University prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of drugs, alcohol, and other controlled substances by all members of the University community (students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests).
