New CDC employees receive a written offer from the Human Resources Office within 15 days of a verbal offer. This letter includes details about New Employee Orientation and instructions for accessing the Onboarding Manager, an automated system for submitting pre-orientation employment information.
Before employment verification, new hires must bring original documents proving identity and eligibility to work for the federal government. Acceptable documents include a Social Security card with a driver’s license or state-issued photo ID, or a U.S. passport, Certificate of United States Citizenship, Certificate of Naturalization, or Resident Alien card.
On arrival, employees attend New Employee Orientation, typically held on the first Monday of each pay period or the following Tuesday if Monday is a federal holiday. Orientation includes the official swearing-in as a U.S. government employee and provides information about the CDC’s roles and operations.
The Human Resources Office supports employees throughout the onboarding process, including providing accommodations if needed, with contact information available for assistance.
