Getting Started

Your department will help you obtain all the resources necessary to settle into your new environment, including:

• Process the hiring paperwork that will create your account in the Human Resource Services (HRS) system. This generates your employee identification number (often called a 790 number) and defines your eligibility for benefits.

• Provide information on a number of practical matters, such as how to:
  • obtain an e-mail account and a umontana e-mail alias
  • access office space and get keys
  • set up office equipment such as computers and phones
  • contact your IT support staff
  • create index codes (teaching/research-related accounts, if applicable)
  • obtain a Procard (credit card for business expenses, if applicable)
