Before you start

Human Resources sends your letter of appointment. Please confirm your acceptance in writing and bring certified copies of your certificates.

Your first week

  • Your work email and Staff Portal account are created by ICT. Sign in to the Staff Portal with it.
  • You receive your staff ID card and the staff handbook, and you meet your line manager.
  • HR collects your bank and SSNIT details. Your pay band is a label only; pay itself is handled by Finance.
  • You attend the induction session. Your checklist is in the HR workspace under My HR.
