New Employees

BEFORE DAY ONE:

Obtain a Wiscard

A Wiscard is your official UW-Madison identification card. New employees will need this card in order to activate their NetID and to access buildings after hours.

The Wiscard Office is located at Room 149 in Union South (1307 Dayton Street, Madison). Complete information about obtaining your Wiscard is available at https://wiscard.wisc.edu/id-card/how-to-get-your-wiscard/.

*Important: You must present proof of identification (in person) when you go to retrieve your Wiscard. Acceptable forms of identification include a U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, a foreign passport, a U.S. state or territory driver’s license, a U.S. federal or state agency ID card, a U.S. military dependent’s ID card or a U.S. Coast Guard merchant marine card.

There are not many parking options at Union South. Therefore, it is recommended that you walk, bike or bus to retrieve your card. If those are not options, there is paid parking available underneath the Union South building (access from Dayton Street), and 2 hour street parking on Orchard.

Activate Your NetID

The NetID is a campus ID that is assigned to you by the central campus IT team, DoIT. You will need your NetID in order to sign into the MyUW portal (to view earning statements, benefit information, etc.). It is also required on various other UW-related portals.

You can activate your NetID after you receive your Wiscard. To do so, navigate to the NetID Account Activation Website and enter the ID number on the card and your date of birth.

Set Up Duo Authentication

Sign Up for Benefits 101 and Explore Your Benefits Options

All new campus employees will need to enroll in Benefits within 30 days of their arrival. We recommend signing up for Benefits 101 early so that you are given ample time to review your benefits options. To sign up for Benefits 101, navigate to the OHRD website and select Benefits Education. Click on the course that works best with your schedule. Select the Login & Register button to sign in with NetID and confirm your seat in the course.

Submit Direct Deposit and W-4 forms

Submit Direct Deposit and W-4 in MyUW under “Payroll Information” or make sure the information on file is up to date in MyUW. You will have access to the Payroll App once your appointment is entered in the payroll system.
