After you accept our offer you will receive an email from Sterling Talent Solutions,
our background check provider. It will contain the link to a secure website, where you will need to create a login and password. Go to that website to authorize the

accrual process. You will need to coordinate with your supervisor to schedule and
report time off. Any unused vacation days accrued as of the effective date of this

you transfer back to a staff position, your unused sick time will be available to you
to use. Unused personal days will be lost. See Human Resources Policy 113

International Center ASAP)
If you require sponsorship for H-1B status, our department will cover all the costs
associated with the required fees for H-1B processing. These costs are non-
refundable. We will contact the International Center after you accepted the offer of
employment to start the process for you. The International Center will begin to
compile your petition immediately after your acceptance of our offer. Both our
Department and you, the scholar, will have paperwork that must be completed.
Every petition is unique so there is not a set timeline for all H-1B petitions. If you
choose to request expedited processing, you will be responsible for the expedited
H-1B processing fee. If you have any dependents, we will not cover the costs for
them. The International Center will assist you to complete the forms for your
dependents.

application for permanent residency.
For Variable hour employee information
As a part-time, non-teaching exempt employee, you will need to track the hours
you work each week and enter those hours into the PeopleSoft Time and Labor
System. The University of Missouri requires this record in order to be compliant
with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
