What is RightStart@USF?

RightStart@USF is the way that new hires are processed at USF and provides a streamlined appointment process for new hires or for employees who have not been employed by USF for more than one year. This process allows the hiring department to use the letter of offer as the appointment paper and then Human Resources does the rest.

What do I need to do to get started?

The department will need to use one of the provided offer letter samples by clicking here: Offer Letter Samples.   The offer letter samples are broken down into employment categories with an explanation of the various appointment type.  Please choose the letter that reflects the employee’s appointment type and fill in the blank fields to create a new offer letter.  

How does the process work?

“Is it really that easy to use RightStart@USF?”  Yes – It is really that easy!

It's true. By using the letters of offer designed especially for RightStart@USF, you are providing Human Resources with all of the information needed to create a job record in GEMS for the employee while giving the employee the information needed to start the day right. After receiving the copy of the letter of offer, Human Resources enters the information into GEMS, creating an Employee ID number.  Human Resources assembles the information packet that is tailored to your employee's type of appointment and schedules your employee for Discover USF if appropriate. The letter of offer also tells the employee the documents that are needed on the first day, how to make temporary parking arrangements (until a regular permit can be obtained) and where to report on day one (HR). Once the new hire employee has an offer letter and has completed their RightStart appointment, they will appear in GEMS within 24-48 hours.
