For New Instructors

If you are a first-time employee at UBC, you must complete the steps outlined below to ensure that you receive your salary in a timely manner. All salary payments are direct-deposited into your bank account. We recommend that you visit the New to UBC web page to begin, as well as the online Quick Start Orientation.

You will need to register for a Campus-Wide Login (CWL). Along with your email address, your CWL ID will be the primary identifier you use in making contact with support resources on campus. Please set up your CWL account if you haven't already done so. In addition, you are required to submit an updated copy of your CV and a photocopy of your SIN card by email directly to our office.

Finally, we recommend that you become familiar with EPLT policies (as approved by EPAC).

Four Essential Steps to Follow

1. Visit the New to UBC web page.

2. Register for your CWL.

3. Complete the Online Enrollment process for your benefits and payroll information. Please see "Important Notes" below.

4. Email your updated CV and a copy of your SIN card to EPLT.

Important Notes Before You Begin the Benefits/Payroll Enrollment Process

• The session will take approximately 30–40 minutes to complete.
• You must complete the session in one sitting.
• If you close down partway through or leave your keyboard inactive for 30 minutes or more, your session will end and you will lose all of your work.
• Once you have completed all of your forms, you will be prompted to print them. If you exit the session before printing the completed forms, your work will be lost.
• Review the benefits information specific to your employee group before you begin, to ensure that you are prepared for the online enrollment. This will allow you to make informed choices about optional benefits and about any costs associated with the benefits you choose.
