EmployEE Handbook - Marymount University

New Employee Orientation
The Office of Human Resource Services conducts New Employee Orientation Sessions
to introduce new employees to the general policies, procedures, and expectations
related to employment by Marymount University. The New Employee Orientation for
each individual occurs shortly following employment and is coordinated by Human
Resource Services.
All new employees, except temporary employees, are required to attend a New Employee
Orientation session. Human Resource Services will notify the new employee and the new
employee’s manager of the Orientation day and time.
Topics covered in the New Employee Orientation Session include:
History and Organization of the University
University Mission
University Policies, Rules, and Regulations
Employee Benefits
Fire and General Safety
Information Technology
Athletics
Emergency Communication
Confidentiality
No employee will be considered to have completed his/her introductory period without
having attended an Orientation Session. Failure to attend a scheduled Orientation Session
may affect a new employee’s employment status.
Parking, Transportation and Shuttle Service
All employees who drive to work and park on campus must register their vehicles and
purchase and display a current appropriate hang-tag. Vehicles for Staff and Faculty are
registered in the Human Resource Services Office, Ireton Hall. Parking for Staff and
Faculty with the appropriate hangtags is available at Ballston and Main Campus. The
parking lots provide both non-reserved and reserved parking spaces Non-reserved spaces
are for all employees. Reserved spaces are for use by only Faculty and Administrators
and are marked with the word “Reserved”. Carpooling is encouraged so a number of
spaces have been designated for this purpose in several of the Marymount parking lots/
garages. To park in a carpool space, an employee must register as a carpool driver.
Each of the parking lots/garages also provides parking for Handicapped employees
and visitors. Only the individual to whom the handicapped plate or tag was issued can
park in these spaces. The state issued handicapped hangtag/license plate as well as the
Marymount parking hangtag must be displayed. Please call or e-mail Human Resource
Services at 703-284-1680/hrservices@marymount.edu with questions about general
parking information, parking enforcement and ticketing, or to request a copy of the
parking rules or FAQ’s.
