Our mission is to make your onboarding with Tufts as seamless an experience as possible, so we have compiled a one-stop shop to serve as your resource to let you know what to expect and what is expected - from tax forms and direct deposit. to completing your I-9, we've got you covered! We have even included some additional resources below for other teams better suited to assist in some of your non-Payroll related onboarding needs.
Completing the New Hire steps in eServe - including personal data, education data, ethnicity and more is best completed on a computer rather than a cell phone, and Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are the most compatible browsers.
