Welcome to the South Carolina Department of Transportation Team! We are pleased that you have selected the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) as your employer. At SCDOT, we are committed to our employees and to providing great customer service.
This New Employee Orientation web page contains videos and essential resources that will help expedite your on-boarding experience. On the first two days of employment, you will attend New Employee Orientation, where you will meet many of our Headquarters team members. These team members will assist you with any HR-related paperwork and acquaint you with the structure of the Agency.
As a new employee, we encourage you to view the Insurance and Retirement videos, review the handbooks, and then discuss your benefits selection with your family members.
Attached is a New Hire Checklist, which lists forms that you will be completing on your first day of employment. In preparation, please review these to ensure that you have any necessary documents and information with you to complete the forms during New Employee Orientation. Please bring your driver's license and Social Security Card with you, as information from these documents is required for benefits and personnel record processing. We have also included the I-9 Lists of Acceptable Documents - please supply either a document from List A, or one from List B and one from List C in order to complete your Form I-9.
