FAQs for Former Team Members
Do I have to go through onboarding & Boardwalk Essentials again?
Yes, you will need to complete the onboarding process again due to legally required paperwork and state compliance training that must be completed before starting work. Boardwalk Essentials is required every 2 years so if you worked with us within the last year, you do not need to complete Boardwalk Essentials during your onboarding.
Will I be hired into the same position I was in last year?
Not necessarily. Our openings will vary depending on when you are able to interview with us and begin working. Our current positions and your interests will be discussed at your interview.
What if I can’t remember my UKG password?
If you’re unsure what your password is, use the ‘password reset’ function on the login page. Have more questions? Call us at (831) 460-3377 extension 6 or email us at employment@scseaside.com
