Employment Compliance

SSU complies with applicable federal and state laws with regard to employment.  Certain requirements must be met before a new employee can begin work.  A few of these requirements are summarized below.

Background Check

When considering individuals for University employment, conviction/criminal history records are reviewed as they relate to the content and nature of the work and the safety and security of University employees, students, the public and University property. A conviction/criminal history record does not necessarily disqualify an individual for employment with Shawnee State. 

The criminal background investigation and identity check information is maintained by HR. This information includes, but is not limited to, identifying information, Social Security Number, birth date, address, phone number, recommendations, injuries, medical reports, employment evaluations, and other employment-related documents (ref: ORC 1347.08, Notice of Personal Information).

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (Form I-9)

All new employees must complete new hire paperwork prior to or on their first day of work. The Form I-9 is one of the required documents requiring completion. It verifies employment eligibility. You must provide documentation that proves your eligibility to work in the U.S. This identifying information is retained separately from the employee's personnel record.

NOTICE: Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States

The University will provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with information from each new employee’s Form I-9 to confirm work authorization.

IMPORTANT: If the University cannot confirm that you are authorized to work, we will provide you instructions and an opportunity on how to contact the SSA before taking adverse action against you, including terminating your employment.

Campus Safety and Security (Clery Act)

Shawnee State maintains an annual Security & Fire Safety Report which is available to all current and prospective employees and students. This report includes statistics on reported crimes that occurred on-campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the University and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, Shawnee State's campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning sexual assault, and other matters. A copy of this report is available at: Clery Act Security Report (PDF)
