Ithaca College

This year, new hire sessions will continue to be held every other Monday morning through November 26, 2018.  There will be no new hire session the week of December 10, 2018.

In conjunction with the beginning of the bi-weekly pay periods, new hire sessions will resume Monday, January 7, 2019.

In the past, the College has not held new hire sessions during the month of December.  It is not cost effective for the College to compensate new employees holiday pay after working such a short period of time before the holidays occur. In addition, many current employees supplement holiday leave with vacation and/or personal leave during this time of year reducing the opportunity for potential training time within departments for new employees.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  If you have any questions, please contact me at 274-8000 or via e-mail at mhammond@ithaca.edu .
