5. Click the "Send to SES for Approval" button. This adds the hire to a queue in SES to be checked and added to payroll once the student is cleared to work.

6. If the student has not worked on campus before, you will see a message box stating:

Employment will not be authorized until the student completed the I-9 process and OPERS documents. 

If this message appears, Student Employment Services staff will automatically send the student all required instructions. Please note: the student will be required to visit SES at 225 Bowen-Thompson Student Union with the completed forms and supporting documents as outlined in the instructions. New employees of BGSU CANNOT be cleared to work - or begin to work - until this on-boarding process is complete.
