Short checklist
The most important thing to do as a new employee is to get to know your colleagues and managers. They will also introduce you to the department or division and tell you about local rules and procedures, as well as helping you with the tools you need to do your job in the best possible way.
Getting a campus card
Your department or division will help with this.
Report if you have any outside activities
You must report to your emoloyer if you have any ‘secondary employment’ alongside your regular employment, such as an elected position or your own business that you run alongside your regular job.
