I-9 Everywhere: Quick, easy & secure

This fall I-9Everywhere was presented as the default I-9 verification process for new hires. This solution allows employees to select an individual in their personal or professional network to verify documents in person, instead of having to come to campus.

2023 Minimum Wage

Effective January 1, 2023, Massachusetts minimum wage has increased to $15.00/hr. Tufts University had already implemented a University-wide minimum wage of $15.00/hr effective January 1, 2022, and as such, this change shouldn't effect most students or temps working on campus.

Winter is here, but tax season is coming!

As the tax forms go out, the questions pour in - these resources for Tax Season 2022 should answer most questions before they're even asked!
