Under Policy 100.3.1, Rutgers may require proof of Seasonal Influenza vaccination. Prospective employees should speak with their Hiring Manager to determine if this policy is applicable. You will receive an email from no-reply@ipo.rutgers.edu with instructions to upload your vaccination information or to apply for a medical or religious exemption. Please complete this screening within 5 days of receipt. Upon completion, you must forward the confirmation email to your departmental Human Resources Representative. If your exemption request is denied, please forward that email to discuss next steps.

Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) and E-Verify are required for employment and may be completed before commencing employment for convenience. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires all employers to certify the identity and work eligibility of all new employees. Therefore, your employment is subject to your in-person presentation of proper documentation as required by law. Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) is an online process, and all new employees must present the required documents to the employing department or authorized representative, in person, within three business days of your first day of employment. Also, you must complete Section I of the Form I-9 by your first day of employment. Accordingly, you will receive instructions to complete the Form I-9, and you may direct any questions to your Hiring Unit Representative. For information on the Form I-9 and the list of acceptable documents, please visit the USCIS website.

In addition to the Form I-9, all new employees are required to have their employment eligibility verified through government databases using E-Verify. E-Verify compares information from your Form I-9 to data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. In the event that the E-Verify system of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) gives Rutgers a “Tentative Non-Confirmation (TNC)” of your eligibility for this employment, you will be notified by your employing department and given the opportunity to respond to USCIS within the required timeframe. If subsequent to a TNC the E-Verify system gives Rutgers a “Final Non-Confirmation” on your case, your employment in this position will be subject to immediate termination as required by USCIS regulations.
