New Hire Orientation

The State Officials and Employees Ethics Act (5 ILCS 430/5-10) requires all newly hired employees to receive ethics training within the first 30 days of employment.

" A person who fills a vacancy in an elective or appointed position that requires training and a person employed in a position that requires training must complete his or her initial ethics training within 30 days after commencement of his or her office or employment."

To simplify the process, an orientation has been added to the Nessie New Hire task list. All new hires will have 30 days from their initial hire date to complete this training. If an employee is unable to access the orientation online, they may complete an offline version of the document, within the 30 day timeframe, and mail the final page, including their name, University Identification Number (UIN), the date and a signature to the University Ethics Office at:

University Ethics Office
Human Resources Building, Room 20
One University Plaza, HRB 20
Springfield, IL 62703-5407
