New Employee Guide
Congratulations on your new position at the University of Notre Dame! Our founder, Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., said, “this college will be one of the most powerful means for doing good in this country.” As a new employee, you bring unique talents and gifts that will contribute to Notre Dame’s mission. We are happy you have joined us and we look forward to helping you learn and experience the tradition, pride, and excellence associated with Notre Dame.
The purpose of this quick-reference guide is to assist managers and new employees with specific employment-related tasks. However, this is just one part of your Onboarding experience. You will also attend New Hire Orientation where we will explain most of these topics, and your manager or supervisor will also help you along the way.

Employment at Notre Dame offers much more than competitive pay – the Notre Dame employment experience includes excellent benefits and wellness programs, comprehensive training and career development services, world-class events, social activities, and more.
