How do I know what my classification/contract type is?

• IF you have been issued a district login and password, you can access the Employee Management System (EMS) to view/print a copy of your contract from this location. 

• Directions: Go to the Profile tab of the Employee Management System page and scroll to the bottom.  A tab (Professional Contracts) should be near the bottom left of the screen.  Employees can view and print a copy of their signed contract.  Click the print icon to open a printable view of the contract.  Page Two (2) of the contract shows the contract type.

How do I register?

• The registration link is located under the dropdown menu entitled "New to Two Conference." From there, click on "Conference Registration," and you will be taken to a registration form.  

What if I am not able to attend the conference? What should I do? 

Attending New to Two is an expectation for all new employees. Contact your principal or direct supervisor to discuss your situation if you have a conflict. Conference planners cannot excuse you from the conference. 

When is my first paycheck? 

You will receive your first paycheck on August 15. Note that the 1st check will most probably be a "live" check.  

When will I get my Richland Two e-mail account?  

• • Complete and electronically sign the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) given to you in your onboard package from Human Resources. This is a very important step in your hiring process.  

  • Once your AUP has been processed, you will receive your username and password for Richland Two district applications. District devices (laptops, Chromebooks, iPads) are not issued until an AUP has been processed. 

  • For questions about your AUP, contact Humanresources@richland2.org
