Human Resources and Payroll is delighted to share that it has launched a new onboarding website. Replacing hr.gmu.edu/welcome, the new onboarding site is located at hr.gmu.edu/onboarding.

New faculty and staff can choose from four different employment types: Instructional, Research, and Adjunct faculty; Administrative/Professional faculty; Classified staff; and Wage and Student employees.

New faculty and staff will have easy access to information specific to them in the areas of benefits, well-being, payroll, and more. We hope you will take a look, as it provides a great overview for current faculty and staff.

Contact hr@gmu.edu with any questions.
