Effective immediately, the Florida Retirement System (FRS)  New Employee Certification Form will be required as part of the hiring package needed for a part-time hourly or adjunct employee to begin work.  A copy of this form is attached.  This form will be part of the employment packets you receive from Human Resources.  The Division of Retirement has asked that agencies do NOT stockpile these forms as they are subject to change.  When changes occur, you will receive the updated form, and you will need to replace the outdated form in any hiring packets you may have on-hand.  The form is crucial for the College to maintain compliance with retirement rules and regulations and Florida Statutes.  Use of outdated forms will delay the hiring process.

How to Hire and Process Part-Time Hourly and Adjunct Paperwork can be found in the HR Notes #2 on the website.  To navigate there from the Valencia homepage:
