NEW HIRE INFORMATION

Welcome Warren Wilson College! As a new hire, the first step to formalizing your employment, you must successfully pass a background check.  You will be emailed a link to access in order to begin the process.  You must complete the online information by the due date provided to you in the email. 

Once Human Resources notifies you of your successful completion of the background check process, you will find below all the required hiring forms needed to complete the hiring process. As a best practice, we would encourage you to complete all of these forms in advance of your first day of work, and bring them to HR in person to protect your personal information. If you are unable to visit our office on or before your start date, please submit your hiring paperwork through the Submit HR Forms page located in the menu. Even if you submit your forms electronically, you will be required to make an appointment to complete your I-9 on or before your start date.

When coming to campus to complete your hiring paperwork please consider the following:

  • Use the visitor parking spaces outside of the Ogg and Laursen buildings. The HR office is located in Ogg 102. Here is a map for your convenience.

  • Complete as much of the required paperwork in advance.

  • Bring valid, current identification to complete your I-9. More specifics listed below

  • Bring a voided check or official bank form providing printed account and routing numbers to enroll in direct deposit for payroll.

  • Bring your license plate number for a temporary parking pass.

If you have questions, please contact Human Resources at 828-771-7043. 

The first section of forms are for all new hires and frequently used by staff and faculty to make changes to their tax status, retirement contributions, and direct deposits.

*All required forms for new hires are marked with an asterisk.
