Welcome to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg Family!

We are excited that you have joined the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.   You are now part of a group of dedicated and talented employees who work hard in support of the University's mission and goals. 

We realize that your first couple of weeks as a new employee can be overwhelming - coming into a new environment, meeting new people, and searching for a specific building or room.  So, we have assembled this information in order to help acquaint you with your new environment.

You will begin your first day of employment at the Office of Human Resources.  You will complete your payroll paperwork, provide documents that establish your identity and employment eligibility, and supply your bank account information for direct deposit of your pay.  The HR Benefits Specialist will then provide you valuable information on available benefit programs for which you are eligible.   There is a 60 day period to sign up for your benefits from your date of hire.   If you do not enroll within the 60 day period, you will have to wait until the next open enrollment (held in the Fall of each year, with a start date of the following January) unless you experience a Qualifying Status Change.
