Federal law requires employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all employees (both citizens and noncitizens) hired to work in the United States. To meet these requirements, Liberty University uses the Form I-9 within Workday and E-Verify for all newly hired faculty and staff.

E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee’s Form I-9 to records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to confirm employment eligibility.

Section 1

Completed via Workday by the employee. Must be completed by the first day of employment.

Section 2

Per federal law, section 2 must be completed no later than 3 days from hire. A delay in completing this section may lead to the termination of the employee.

• Residential and Hybrid Employees: present original identification documentation to our HR Office located in Green Hall 1560

All employees are required to add a “Human Resources” address type in myLU due to tax implications (student workers will input either their commuter or on-campus address with their flames box for this task). Reference the video below, to see how to update your HR address.

Qualified students working for Liberty University do not have to pay FICA taxes if enrolled and regularly attending classes. During summer break you will be subject to FICA tax and will be automatically changed to Non-Exempt unless you notify Human Resources that you are enrolled in summer classes. If you are a nonresident alien international student, you can be exempt from FICA taxes all year.

Setting up a voluntary deduction allows a percentage of the funds earned as a student worker to be applied to your student account. The remaining balance will be paid according to your payment elections in Workday. If you do not want to set up a voluntary deduction, the Workday To Do task can be submitted as is.

Complete Federal and State tax election and set up direct deposit. View our Payroll page for more information.
