Volunteers

Does your department or unit use volunteers? Are they completing the required paperwork? Is it being submitted to the Records office for approval?

If you have volunteers and they are not completing paperwork, please contact your HR Representative as soon as possible. Your HR Representative can meet with your volunteers and help them complete the forms. We are required to submit this paperwork on or before the first day the volunteer works.

If you prefer to complete the paperwork with your volunteers, please review the instructions below and access the packet of fillable forms.
