We look forward to helping you complete the new hire enrollment process in a smooth and timely manner.

To help you prepare ahead of time, we have made all of the new hire forms available online for download and completion before your first visit. Individuals who complete all paperwork before visiting Employee Services can be processed within a half hour on average, so we encourage you to complete these forms ahead of time.

If you should have any questions as you complete these forms, please call us at 773-553-1142. One of our representatives will be happy to assist you. We also encourage you to call this number to schedule or confirm your appointment ahead of time.
