Starting a new job comes with a lot of moving parts, and we want to make yours as smooth as possible. This page will walk you through a few things to take care of before you arrive and give you a preview of what your first day will look like. We can't wait to welcome you to campus.
Before You Arrive
There are a few things you can take care of before your first day. Completing these in advance helps your first day stay focused on what matters most — meeting your team, getting oriented to campus and starting strong.
Federal law requires all new employees to verify their identity and work authorization. You will receive an email from HireRight, sent on behalf of HR, with instructions to complete Step 1 of this process.
Step 2 of your I-9 must be completed in person, either by visiting the HR office before your first day or during your first-day onboarding session. To request an appointment before your first day, book time with James Peery for new faculty and staff paperwork. If you need help during this process, contact the HR office.
Complete your federal tax withholding form and provide your banking information before your first day, so your pay is deposited automatically and reflects the correct withholdings on payday.
This can be completed through the onboarding workflow assigned to you in Belmont Be You.
Belmont offers a comprehensive benefits package. If you have received your Belmont University credentials, review your detailed benefits information.
If you have not yet received your credentials, you can view your benefits information through the onboarding workflow in Belmont Be You.
Benefits enrollment opens on your first day of work and must be completed within your first 30 days.
Familiarize yourself with where you'll be working. Download a campus map and review parking options before you arrive.
Your HR team is here to help. Save our contact information so you have it handy when you need it.
Your First Day
Your first day is designed to be welcoming, not overwhelming. Here is what to expect when you arrive.
Where to Go
On your first day, please plan to park in visitor parking. A campus map is available to help you get oriented before you arrive.
Human Resources will provide the day, time and location of your onboarding session, along with recommended parking instructions.
A Note from HR
The Office of Human Resources is here to support you from your very first day and every day after. Whether you have questions about benefits, need help navigating a process or just want to know where to start — we're here. Reach us at hr@belmont.edu or 615.460.6456.
What to Expect: Starting with SOUL
Your first day includes Starting with SOUL — Belmont HR's new employee onboarding program. Starting with SOUL is designed to help you get connected, understand Belmont's culture and mission and leave feeling ready to do meaningful work.
SOUL is more than a word at Belmont — it's a shared commitment to how we live and work together. The letters stand for: Seek Excellence with Humility, Offer Gratitude with Joy, Unleash Hospitality with Love, and Live the Dream Together with Hope.
During your Starting with SOUL session, you'll meet members of the HR team, hear from University leaders and begin connecting with colleagues who are starting alongside you.
