In order to be able to work at Follett Bookstore, you’ll need to complete your ADP onboarding paperwork. Believe us, we know everyone hates paperwork (we do to!), but we have tried to keep the process as simple as possible. Remember, if you need any help throughout the process, we are here to help.

Our onboarding process consists of one (and sometimes two systems) that contain different sets of information that we are required to collect. These systems are:

  • ADP – Our system for payroll, tax forms and other employment related information.

  • Verified First – (If required by the store) – Our background check provider which is only required to work at certain stores. Your offer letter will let you know if your store requires this. You will only see emails from this system if you store requires that you complete one.

The sooner you complete the information, the sooner we can get you cleared to start work. Your store is counting on you to complete everything and be able to help on your start date, so it is important that you complete everything as soon as you are able to. We appreciate all the time that it takes you to complete all the information and we will help you in any way we can. 
 

Below, you will find the answers to frequently asked questions about the onboarding process. If you don’t see what you are looking for – use our chat widget on the bottom right of this page to connect to our onboarding specialists who can provide more information. 

ADP & Tax Form Questions

  1. Check your spam, other or junk folders and make sure that the email didn’t get caught in a spam filter. 
  2. If your start date is more than a couple weeks out, your paperwork might be delayed. In this case, please be patient and we will get your onboarding link(s) out to you as soon as possible. Feel free to contact us if you have questions. 

Please locate the Welcome to ADP email sent from noreply@adp.com. This may go to your spam folder so make sure you double check there too! Using the link in the email, create an account and choose ‘I have a registration code’. You will need the registration code and associate ID from the email. Note: these codes are case sensitive. 

You will want to go to ADP Workforce Now to sign in and complete your tax forms at www.workforcenow.adp.com. You will not need to visit the 401K site.

In ADP, you will be required to complete your profile and set up your tax withholdings for federal and state taxes. There are option tasks to set up your payment options and emergency contacts.  

 

Immediately upon logging into your ADP account, you will be shown the welcome page. After viewing the welcome page, you can move onto Step 1: Complete your profile. This section is for personal information such as your address, phone number, and tax ID. Once your profile has been completed, you can move onto Step 2: Your Tasks. This is the only required section is to set up tax withholding for federal and state taxes. Then, you can elect to input your direct deposit information and emergency contacts if you would like.

A bank account is not required to complete the paperwork. If you do not add a bank account, your checks will be mailed to your address on file. 

Please go back to Personal Info and uncheck the ‘Applied For’ box.  

Please ensure you are using a computer to complete the tax forms in ADP. We recommend using the web browser Google Chrome and clearing your cache and browser history.
