Information for New Employees
Congratulations on your selection! We are looking forward to you joining our staff, and are eager to make your onboarding as easy as possible.
You will be asked to complete many forms during this process. You will either complete and sign the forms via the Onboarding system OR complete the enter-on-duty forms manually and forward them to your HR point of contact. Please refer to your offer letter on which method is appropriate for you.
Each form is important, and its purpose is unique. It is our goal to ensure that you are fully informed and able to successfully complete all of the required in-processing documents.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Currently NIST will be conducting virtual orientation. You will be sent a separate e-mail that includes the date and time of your virtual orientation appointment and instructions regarding how to attend the virtual session.
When NIST returns to normal operations, you will be invited to the full, in-person onboarding program to learn more about the NIST mission, culture and values.
We look forward to your employment and journey with NIST.
