POLICY & PROCEDURES

This policy provides an orderly approach to advertising, selecting and bringing new employees on board and all staff members associated with the hiring process follow this policy and its procedures. DMS is committed to:

conducting efficient, effective and consistent hiring processes, attracting qualified individuals, providing equal employment opportunities, and complying with veterans’ preference requirements (see Guide on-line).

A. JOB ADVERTISEMENTS

All DMS employment opportunities advertisements (ads) are advertised “Open Competitive Opportunity” and for a minimum of two weeks unless otherwise approved via e-mail by the Secretary (or designee) or Human Resources (HR) director. However, divisions may review the pool of applications from an ad of a like position, occurring in the previous three months. If this option is selected, the division works with the HR Office to coordinate the review.

All ads will contain the following statements:

The State of Florida is an Equal Opportunity Employer/Affirmative Action Employer and does not tolerate discrimination or violence in the workplace. DMS is a drug-free workplace and successful completion of background screening is a condition of employment. The background screening may consist of fingerprinting and drug testing.

DMS gives veterans' preference to eligible veterans and their spouses in accordance with Chapter 295 of the Florida Statutes. We only hire U.S. citizens and lawfully authorized alien workers. Applicants requiring a reasonable accommodation, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, must contact the DMS Human Resources (HR) Office at (850) 488-2707. DMS requests applicants notify HR in advance to allow sufficient time to provide the accommodation.Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States.  The Department of Management Services participates in the Department of Homeland Security's Electronic Employment Verification Program (E-Verify) to assist in this required verification process.

B. SUBMITTING A JOB APPLICATION

Application for employment with DMS is made via the People First system or on a current, completed and signed State of Florida employment application.

C. SELECTED CANDIDATES

Selection of a candidate will not occur until the ad closes. The selected candidate must

Page 2 of 15 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102Hiring Processes and New Employee Orientation

Page 3: Web viewPage 1 of 1 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102. Hiring Processes and New Employee Orientation. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

possess the required qualifications unless selection is approved otherwise by the HR director. The selected candidate must be a U.S. citizen or lawfully authorized alien worker.

D. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (AA)

DMS is an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action (AA) employer. It is vital during the selection process that equal employment opportunities are given to all applicants without discrimination as to race, gender, color, age, national origin, religious creed, disability, political opinion or affiliation, or marital status except when such factors would constitute a bona fide occupational qualification necessary to performing a position’s assigned tasks. Recruiting supervisors are encouraged to recruit in ways that reach members of groups noted as underutilized within DMS’ AA Plan.

DMS works diligently to achieve a workforce, which mirrors the market by employing members of the underutilized EEO categories. Each division director is accountable for attaining and maintaining a work force that reflects the current, relevant and available labor market. DMS establishes a hiring goal in the AA Plan when a unit’s workforce does not reflect the labor market in a particular EEO category and communicates the plan to the division directors.

E. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)

Applicants with qualifying disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are not denied employment solely because of such disability, with or without reasonable accommodation, unless the disabling condition would prohibit performing essential functions of the job as documented in the position description. Applicants with disabilities must be evaluated in terms of the actual job requirements, with thought given to reasonable accommodations (within DMS’ reasonable ability to make such accommodations) to enable the individual to perform the essential functions of the position.

F. CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Conditions of employment include a positive background check and positive work/education references. Positions designated “Level 2” require successful fingerprinting. Positions designated “safety-sensitive” require drug testing. These checks will occur prior to the employee’s first day of work unless authorized otherwise by the HR director.

A. NEW EMPLOYEES

Once a candidate has been selected for employment, the candidate must be advised that the Department’s offer of employment is contingent upon a successful criminal history background screening. The following processes apply:

Level I Criminal History Background Screening

The solicitation indicates the procedures required to complete the L1 and L2 background checks. Within 10 days after the award and execution of a contract (or as soon as practicable or as provided in the contract), the contract manager shall ensure all contractors are processed by the OIG. The following processes apply:

Level I Criminal History Background Screening

The contractor must obtain a recent Criminal History Record for each contract employee from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This can be accomplished by contacting the Florida Department of Law Enforcement directly, or by accessing the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, “MyFlorida PrivateEye”, at the link below.

All but the last four digits of the social security number may be redacted.

If the contract employee’s driver license or state identification card does not list a street address, or if the driver license or identification card was issued less than one year prior to the background screening process, the contractor must provide evidence of the contract employee’s current/former residence. Acceptable documents may include one of the following items; utility bills that reflect the employee’s name and address, school Page 5 of 15 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102

Once the aforementioned documents have been obtained, the contract manager will submit these documents and a Memorandum addressed to the Inspector General. This memorandum shall request that the Inspector General review the documents and approve or disapprove the contract employees to provide contract services in DMS facilities.

The Office of Inspector General will issue a Memorandum to the contract manager with the results of this review. The Office of Inspector General will also maintain a database of all contract employees who have been approved or disapproved to provide contract services at DMS facilities.

Any Questions regarding Level I Background Security Screenings for contract employees shall be directed to the Office of Inspector General.

Level II Criminal History Background Screening

The contract manager must notify the Office of Inspector General that a contract employee has been placed into a Position of Special Trust and request that a Level II Criminal History Background Screening be conducted. This notification shall be made by e-mail and must include the contract employee’s full name, address and telephone numbers (home, cell and work), and the name of the company that the contract employee is employed by. Also, this e-mail must include the division’s Organization Code for billing purposes. The following example applies.

G. G. NOTIFYING NON-SELECTED CANDIDATES

Divisions will send form HR-102-F2, “Thank You Letter for Interviewed Applicants” to candidates that have been interviewed and not selected via e-mail or U.S. mail. Letters are only to be mailed after the new employee reports to work, allowing the division to consider other interviewed candidates if the selected candidate later declines the offer or does not report for work All other applicants should be sent letters as soon as possible once the requisition has closed. This is done by contacting the staffing specialist at People First to request that notification letters be sent to all applicants not selected for interview.

H. NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION (NEO)

If the position is needed in another area, the procedures in Administrative Policy “HR-08-101 – Position Establishment and Maintenance” are followed to update the position description. If the position is no longer needed, the division director notifies the director of the Division of Administration who consults with the secretary of DMS to determine placement/reclassification or elimination of the position.

Review all position descriptions prior to a job being advertised to ensure they are current and reflect the true duties of the position. If the position description requires updating, the procedures in Administrative Policy “HR-08-101 – Position Establishment and Maintenance” are followed to update the position description.

of ad(s).

If HR enters the ad, the HR staff member forwards the initial request to the requester advising the ad(s) status. The requester is then responsible for reviewing the ad(s) and advising HR of any changes. If HR enters the ad in a media other than People First, the HR staff member updates the “Job Advertisement Request Form” with the advertising costs prior to forwarding back to the division.

Review all applications with a 100 percent match on the qualifying questions. It is not a requirement to print the applications. When possible, supervisors review applications online and only print applications for applicants being interviewing. The following “care and control” will occur for all printed applications:

Page 10: Web viewPage 1 of 1 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102. Hiring Processes and New Employee Orientation. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

The EEO Survey must be removed from each application prior to its review. Apply the same initial selection criteria to all applicants throughout the selection process. Document all phases of the selection/interview process.

Each male applicant born on or after Jan. 1, 1960, must be verified to determine if he registered for the Selective Service System. Do not rely on the applicant's answer on the job application. The verification is made through the www.sss.gov Website. If the applicant failed to register, the State of Florida cannot hire him (section 110.1128, F.S.). For more information on this topic, refer to HRM's Program Guideline; subject "Selective Service Registration."

The supervisor reviews all applications and identifies applicants meeting all qualifying questions. Review applicants meeting 100 percent first to determine if they are viable candidates. Review the remaining applications depending on the results of the 100 percent qualified applicants.

If the review of the applications determines there are no viable candidates, the job should be re-advertised. The division staff consults with HR prior to proceeding with the next advertisement to determine improvements to ad content or advertising in another media to reach additional applicants. If there are viable candidates, the supervisor may conduct a telephone pre interview screening to determine which applicants possess the required qualifications. The supervisor determines which applicants to interview. The supervisor or staff member then schedules the interviews with the applicants and interview team. “Interview Packages” (HR-102-F4) are provided to the interview team as soon as possible. After each interview, the team conducts a brief discussion to share observations and assessments of the applicant. If the position is background check Level 1 (L1), request viable applicants to complete the “L1 Background Check Request Form” (HR-102-F17) and provide a copy of their driver’s license during the interview.If an applicant is selected, the supervisor contacts applicant to discuss the offer and answer any questions from the candidate. During the call, the supervisor obtains/confirms reference check information and requests the applicant complete a “Reference Check Release Form” (HR-102-F5) and the “L1 - Background Check Request Form” (HR-102-F17). Under no circumstances are references contacted until the candidate has given verbal permission. If the position requires interviews with the Secretary and Chief of Staff, the interviews occur at this point in the process.

Process 5 – Check References and Extend Offer

Goals of this process ensure: quality reference checks are completed prior to extending offer salary offered is within available rate, salary projections and industry salary

ranges background checks completed on L1 positions prior to formal offer an offer letter is sent and welcome information is provided by HR

Page 11: Web viewPage 1 of 1 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102. Hiring Processes and New Employee Orientation. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

below). Division staff conducts the reference checks. The following forms are utilized.The “Work Reference Check Form” (HR-102-6a) and “Education Reference Check Form” (HR-102-6b) are used and the completed reference check forms become a part of the hiring package.

A contingent offer is extended to the candidate after reviewing the reference checks. If the reference checks result in any questionable or non-favorable responses, the supervisor consults with division leadership and/or the HR director prior to extending the offer.

If negotiations occur, division leadership and the division’s budget liaison must approve the terms. Once the candidate accepts a conditional offer, and if the position is a L1 background check, the division submits the required “L1 Background Check Request Form” (HR-102-F17) to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), who immediately performs the L1 background check. Once background checks are completed, the OIG sends an e-mail advising the division of the results, with a copy to the HR Inbox.

NOTE: If a candidate requests the reference checks to be conducted after they receive an offer, the division will wait to perform the reference checks. In this case, the offer is conditional on satisfactory reference checks.

Process 6 – Prepare for New Employee

Goals of this process ensure: Personnel Action Request is created in People First HR is aware of decision to hire approved DMS offer letter is sent to new hire salary listed in offer letter is accurate welcome package is provided with offer letter candidate is made aware of start date, time and location to report to NEO candidate is made aware of Level 2 (L2) background check (if L2 position) OIG is aware and performs L2 background check (if L2 position) HR Office establishes a personnel file for the new employee new employee is added to NEO list and documents prepared employee is greeted by HR staff member in lobby on their first day employee attends NEO on their first day (unless start date is not a NEO day) employee’s office, necessary equipment and other items are ready when

employee arrives be ready for the employee!

The supervisor or division’s PAR liaison enters the employee in People First and routes for approval (the HR Office must be entered as an approver of the PAR). This action is the first step of notifying the HR Office of a new employee. To ensure a quality hire process, HR creates their “New Employee Checklist” (HR-102-F9), adds employee to the “NEO List” (HR-102-F12) and establishes a personnel file for the employee. The supervisor completes an “Offer Form” (HR-102-F7) and e-mails to Lila Dyer ([email protected]), [email protected] (the HR inbox), and the OIG Background Investigator. The HR Office prepares and mails the offer letter and other documents to the selected candidate.

Page 12: Web viewPage 1 of 1 DMS Policy No. HR-08-102. Hiring Processes and New Employee Orientation. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY

If the position requires a L2 background check, the division contacts OIG which schedules a meeting for completion of the L2 activity with the selected candidate. Once completed, the OIG sends an e-mail advising the division of the results, with a copy to the HR Inbox. Employee will not be allowed to begin employment without a successful background check. Applicant should be advised that authorization to work is contingent upon verification of employment eligibility through the E-Verify system.

The sponsor completes the “New Employee Checklist” (HR-102-F10) and begins performing the “sponsorship” tasks. The supervisor completes their “New Employee Checklist” (HR-102-F11) begins performing the “supervisor” tasks. The “IT Service Request Form” (HR-102-F16) is completed and sent to the Help Desk at least one week prior to the employee’s start date.
