Within the first month of employment, all new regular employees are urged to attend an orientation program conducted by Human Resources. The program gives an overview of UNL, its functions, policies, and benefits, and it provides an opportunity for new employees to ask questions about their employment. It also provides information to employees about rights and responsibilities surrounding their UNL employment. Supervisors and employees are notified by Human Resources of the date and time the employee is scheduled to attend orientation, and supervisors are expected to encourage attendance. Attendance at new employee orientation will be considered as hours worked.
