MCCCD NEW EMPLOYEE PACKET GUIDELINES

for Temporary and Student Employees

The forms in the new hire packets are to be completed by employees only upon confirmation of hire. They are not to be completed by applicants or potential employees.

 

COVER MEMO TO EMPLOYEES (To be retained by Employee)

This page may be customized by each campus (logo, etc.) as long as all the information is retained. It explains what each form is for and why it is required. It also lists additional documents that may be required and who employees may contact with questions.

EMPLOYEE DATA FORM (Retained at campus)

If there is a change on a rehire, submit the proper change form i.e. Address/Name change form. The original employee data form is to be retained at the campus for 5 years beyond last date paid.

EMPLOYEE DEMOGRAPHICS FORM (Retained at campus)

This information is to be kept strictly confidential. The original is to be kept by a designated person at each campus.

SIS-FERPA/College Records (To be retained by Employee)

At some time during employment, every Maricopa employee may be exposed to student information. The importance of protecting student information cannot be overstated.

LOYALTY OATH (Retained at campus)

Only citizens and permanent residents of the United States complete this form. It is to be retained at the campus for 5 years beyond last date paid.

W-4 and A-4 FORMS (Forward originals to Payroll)

These are the federal and state tax withholding forms. It is critical that these forms be complete and legible in order that the employee's tax records are accurately credited. Please review the forms. Request a copy of the employee's Social Security card. Every year Payroll receives a report from the Social Security Administration that lists at least 100 employees who have submitted either invalid social security numbers, or for whom the names submitted do not match Social Security's records. This can cause a problem for the district as well as for the employees. The district can be liable for a fine for each employee knowingly reported incorrectly. The employees' contributions can be sent to a suspense account and not properly credited to their accounts. It is much easier to get it right the first time.

WAGE WITHHOLDING FOR CHILD SUPPORT (Forward original to Payroll ONLY for employees who are subject to child-support wage withholding)

Employers are required by law to ask all new hires, rehires or employees returning from unpaid leave if they are subject to child support withholding.

I-9 FORM  (Retain original at campus unless an NRA, then send to Employee Services)

Do Not include the I-9 Form in the New Employee Packet.  Include only the List of Acceptable Documents.  The I-9 Form is to be retained by the campus where the employee was initially hired for a period of three years or one year beyond the employee’s last date paid by the district, whichever is longer.  Employees are not required to complete multiple I-9s when working on multiple campuses. 

MCCCD is required by Arizona law to participate in the Dept. of Homeland Security E-Verify program.  All new employees will be checked to see if they are eligible to work in the U.S.

List of acceptable I-9 documents:

MARICOPA ELIGIBILITY DECLARATION (Return to Compensation Department)

Temporary and ASRS retired employees only.

Please check box or boxes that apply and return to the Compensation Department.  When the Eligibility Form is reproduced it must be copied on yellow paper.  This will expedite processing.

ARIZONA STATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM ENROLLMENT AND BENEFICIARY FORMS (Not included in this packet)

If you will be working 20 hours or more per week for twenty weeks, then you must complete an Arizona State Retirement System Enrollment Form and Beneficiary Form.  Once you meet the eligibility requirements, both forms will be mailed to you.
