  3. All camp workers are expected to follow Ignite hiring procedures. If you have not previously completed new hire paperwork with Baylor previously, you will need to complete it before starting work. New tasks include:
  4. Complete a background check. You will receive an email with instructions from HireRight, the University's third-party vendor.

    • Complete Federal I-9 (permitted documents)
    • Confidentiality Agreement
    • Drug & Alcohol Policy Agreement
    • Memorandum of Understanding
    • Enroll in Direct Deposit

Answers

 

Background Checks/HireRight

Who needs to fill out a background check?

If your camp involves minors, you will be required to have an updated background check and complete youth protection training. A background check needs to be done every 2 years.

Return to Top

Why do I need to fill out a background check?

Because you will be working with minors, Baylor policy requires a background check to be in compliance with University Risk Management. HireRight, Inc. (HireRight), a leading provider of on-demand background screening services, will be used to complete all background checks.

Return to Top

How do I do a background check?

You will be receiving an email from HireRight, on behalf of Baylor University, providing you with instructions for completing the electronic consent and disclosure form. You will be required to provide personal information including but not limited to, address, phone numbers, date of birth, and social security number. Please watch for the email from HireRight and proceed promptly to avoid delays in the hiring process. Be sure to check your junk/spam folder, as this email may be filtered based on your email settings.

Return to Top

Who do I contact if I do not get an email from HireRight?

First confirm that the email from HireRight did not go to your junk/spam folder. If you do not receive the email in the next 24 hours or if you have any questions, please contact Human Resources at 254-710-2000.

Return to Top

Can I work if I haven't done my background check?

In order to start working, new hires must complete all new hire paperwork including the background check. Returning workers may need to complete youth protection training and background if not current with policy guidelines.

Return to Top

How long does a background check take once it is filled out?

Depending on the information provided, background checks can take up to 14 business days if there are any unexpected delays.

Return to Top

A spouse will stay in the dorm overnight in the girl's wing. Does she also have to do a background check and the training?

Yes, they must complete a background check and youth protection training based on responsibilities and level of access to minor participants. Connect with your Camp Director for processing.

Questions About the Federal I-9 Process

Can I bring a scan or photocopy of my documents?

You must provide original documents. Visit this website for a list of acceptable documents.

Return to Top

 

Questions from Camp Workers

What are the Onboarding steps and other things necessary for Camp workers?

Camp workers need to do the following:

 

  • Apply for desired position
  • Accept job offer in Ignite
  • Provide personal information to HireRight to Initiate background check
  • Complete onboarding tasks in Ignite
  • Submit timecards in Ignite according to the Biweekly Payroll schedule

 

Return to Top

How will I be paid for working at a Summer Camp?

All camp workers working for an internal Summer Camp are considered employees of Baylor University and must be paid through our Payroll department per Federal Employment guidelines. Camp workers are not eligible to receive payments as a supplier through our Procurement Office that would result in a W-9.

Return to Top

Why can't I get to my Timecard?

If you find you don’t have access to a timecard, check the following:

First, you must complete all onboarding tasks including bringing original documentation for your Federal I-9 to the HR Suite 200 in the Clifton Robinson Tower. If this is done and you still have trouble accessing your timecard, please contact Human Resources at 254-710-2000.

Return to Top

Will the Camp Directors turn in my hours for me to get paid?

Camp workers are responsible for submitting all hours worked on their timecard in Ignite according to the Biweekly Payroll Schedule.

Return to Top

 

Questions About Box

When I open the Box folder it says the page does not exist. Should I upload the staff and the documents to the same folders as last year?

No information should be added to the folder from last year. New box folder invitations will be sent out once camps are approved through Institutional Events and sent to HR for outreach. If the hiring manager is someone other than the Camp Director, they will have to be given access to the folder by that Camp Director.

Return to Top

 

Questions from Camp Directors

How do I review and/or approve my camp workers' timecards?

Review timecards by going to:

  • "My Team" at the top page of Ignite
  • Click the words "show more" on the left side
  • Scroll down to Time and click "Team Time Cards"
  • You will see this screen (below) and you will need to close all filters clicking on the "x"
