Onboarding Overview
Required Documents for Onboarding
The Human Resource (HR) Services Division requires the following documents from all employees within the first 90 days of employment:
- An Employment Eligibility Verification Form from Human Resource Services to establish your right to work in the U.S.
- A photo ID;
- A medical checklist. Employee Services provides this form;
- Appropriate certificates/licenses; and
- A signed loyalty oath, pledged once during your career before a notary public, as Georgia law requires. Employee Services provides this form.
If you are assigned to a position that requires certification or licensure, you must secure and maintain a valid certificate or license from the appropriate authority. For details, please contact the Georgia Professional Standards Commission at www.gapsc.com or (404) 232-2500.
All APS employees are assigned an e-mail account. It is each employee’s responsibility to check e-mail on a regular basis and to maintain and archive e-mail records as required by the APS Records Retention Schedule. For details, please contact Client Support at [email protected] or (404) 802-1000.
Security Clearance
Besides providing the required paperwork, you must be fingerprinted and have an accepted criminal background check to receive security clearance. The employee is responsible for paying the fee for the fingerprinting and background check via money order. Employee Services will schedule your fingerprinting. Employee fingerprinting and background checks must be repeated every five (5) years. Contact the Human Resources Division at (404) 802-2300 with any questions.
