Allegany College of Maryland welcomes you as a member of our team. We are an institution committed to achieving excellence. We believe strongly that the achievement of the institution's goals is dependent upon maintaining the excellence of our employees and the supportive environment that ACM provides for them.
We know that beginning a new job can be an overwhelming experience. We have the Employee Handbook available for all new employees. This guidebook is simply meant to provide a generalized overview of college procedures and services that may seem new and overwhelming at first. Some jobs may require more in-depth training or orientation in specific areas. Your individual supervisor and mentor can provide additional guidance tailored to your specific setting.
The Human Resources office is available to help you with any of your paperwork and can answer any questions you may have. Once HR confirms your hire with your supervisor, an HR Team member will contact you with a welcome message. This welcome message will contain directions for starting the onboarding process and important information about your new role. Please complete and return your new hire paperwork prior to your first day. Once your new hire paperwork has been submitted to HR, you will receive an employment contract to review and sign.
Contact the Human Resources office with any questions by email or phone:
