Focus Security Requests for Local Agencies

For new employees, print the New Employee Training Checklist (policy 300.11) to use as a standardized checklist with all new employees to assure core tasks and responsibilities are completed. Print the training guidance form to have a summary outline for training responsibility, actions to be completed, and tools or forms to use and where they are located. Request a Security Token for each new employee as soon as the employee is hired. New employees must have a minimum of 0.2 FTE paid from WIC funds to qualify for a Two-Factor Authentication Token.
