Part II: Complete the Paperwork
Let’s get started! Now that you know the general purpose of each form, you open your folder and pull out your paperwork. As you
complete the paperwork required by your new employer, you’re going to do so to the very best of your ability. Some of the
paperwork is confusing and you might not be 100% sure you’re making the best decision, but the paperwork is due in a week, so
do the best you can.

As you complete each form, keep a list of questions that you have in the chart below.

Because your personal information is extremely important, and this is just a school assignment, do NOT USE YOUR OWN
PERSONAL INFO. As you fill out the paperwork required by your new job, follow these guidelines:

● Use your real name


● For your address, use 123 Maple Street, Anytown, USA 12345
● For your phone number, use 123-456-7890
● For your social security number, use XXX-XX-XXXX
● For your birthday, use Feb 30, 2000
● If it asks for other people’s personal information, use their name but made up contact info
for them as well
● For your work start date, use Monday of this week.

Enrollment Form You prefer direct deposit over a
paper paycheck, and you recall you
Blank Check need to “pay yourself first” by
Savings Account Statement putting a portion of every paycheck
into your savings account.

● Use the Blank Check and


Savings Account Statement
provided to complete the
Direct Deposit Enrollment
Form

NOTE: Ignore that the Check and


Statement have different
names/addresses on them. In
reality, YOUR name and address
would be on both.

Part III: Consult With A Friend


Fortunately for you, you’re not the company’s only new hire this week, so you have an opportunity to discuss all this paperwork
with another brand new employee at lunch. This conversation will hopefully allow you to clear up some of your confusion before
submitting all of the forms.

Compare your paperwork and questions with a partner. Make any corrections to your paperwork as a result of your conversation.

When finished, go back through the questions you listed. If your question was answered, cross it off your list. Circle the questions
that are still remaining.

ANSWER THIS: Where could you go to find answers to your questions? Remember, in the real world, you don’t have a teacher to
ask. Who or what else might help?
