Employment

The School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers employment in a variety of categories including:

• Faculty and Exempt Staff
• Non-Exempt Staff
• Student and Contractual Hourly

Because of heavy demands within the Payroll office, all existing Faculty and Staff are strongly encouraged to submit Payroll Action Request Form [1](s) well in advance of the desired employment start date. Hiring requests [1] are to be submitted for any type of appointment, paid or non-paid.

Anyone interested in applying for a position at the University of Maryland should visit University Human Resources [2]

To Request a change to an existing payroll appointment, submit the following form:

Payroll Action Request Form [3]

Payroll Actions

New employee payroll appointments will start the first Monday of a pay period (provided the appointee completes all required payroll documents). Any changes to existing appointments should be submitted in advance of the requested effective date. 

Once the hiring official (active SLLC Faculty or Staff) has submitted a Payroll Action Request Form [3] , the SLLC Payroll Coordinator will contact the appointee to schedule an Onboarding Meeting [4].

Note: In order to comply with UMD Policy and Federal Regulations, our office cannot process “same day,” or "backdated" hiring requests. An employee must have an active PHR appointment to work on campus (paid or unpaid).

New Employees

A number of steps must be completed before an appointee may begin work at The University of Maryland:

• Employee Data Collection

The Employee Data Collection Online Form [5]  provides the payroll office the information necessary to create your appointment and schedule your onboarding meeting. [4]  

• Form I-9

The Form I-9 determines work eligibility in the United States. “Employers must complete Form I-9 to document verification of the identity and employment authorization of each new employee (both citizen and noncitizen) hired after November 6, 1986, to work in the United States” (USCIS).  This form is sent via email after receipt of employee data and is completed by you online. You will need to present original identification to us [4] no later than 3 business days after your start date.

Acceptable Documents for the Form I-9 [6]

• Original Payroll Forms (provided upon receipt of employee data)

W-4 Withholding Allowance Certificate: Claim allowances for Federal and state tax or claim “Exempt” based on your individual tax needs.

International Employees

Please bring with you:

• DS-2019 or I-20
• Passport
• I-94 document

All international visitors (paid and non-paid) will receive an email which allows you to provide the required information and complete most of the necessary forms via the Internet from any web-accessed computer using the GLACIER Online Tax [7] Compliance System (link: https://www.online-tax.net/ [7]). The information and forms must be provided prior to any payment so that the correct tax withholding and reporting decisions are made; failure to do so may result in the maximum rate of tax withholding and/or delayed payment. Information provided to GLACIER is transmitted and stored securely and will only be used by University of Maryland System for purposes of tax withholding and reporting. Please access Glacier and complete the online record, sign and submit the Tax Summary Report and copies of the documents listed near the bottom of the report as soon as possible to Payroll/HR during your onboarding meeting [4].

Each international person is different, so you may not have some of the documents listed above. Bring only what you have from the list. We will advise you of any additional steps you may need to take.
