Hire start dates

All staff offer approval forms are required to be submitted and approved at least 10 calendar days before a new staff employee’s start date. For any approvals received after noon on Friday, the start date will be moved to the next available Monday.

New hires are required to attend Benefits Orientation on their Monday start date, and Human Resources will ensure this information is communicated.

Additional flexibility may be considered for internal hires/transfers. Please contact your Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to discuss start dates that do not align with those listed below.

Upcoming hire dates

Below is a list of new hire dates. 

Please note that at the University of Mississippi, we prioritize a smooth transition for all new hires. Since operations tend to slow down in December and our team works hard to meet tight deadlines for the final payroll, we’ve found it’s best to start new employees in the new year. This approach ensures that our new team members have the full support and attention they deserve.
