PRE-HIRING FORMS & DOCS
HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
BEFORE YOU'RE 100% OFFICIAL!
Once you've received an official offer
to become an intern,
we'll need you to locate, obtain, and bring
a number of things to the required workshop
on May 15 or May 17.
Required In-Person Workshop (options):
Monday, May 15
Escuela Verde
3628 W. Pierce St.
5:30 - 6:30 pm
OR
Wednesday, May 17 (if you can't make May 15)
Newline Community Cafe
3618 W. Pierce St.
5:30 - 6:30 pm
So that you can prepare
what you need beforehand,
here's a detailed list of all the things
you'll need to bring!
#1 Tax & Employment Forms
At this workshop, we will help you and a family member complete a Federal Tax Form (W-4), a Wisconsin Tax Form (WT-4), and an Employment Eligibility Form (I-9). The forms are linked here but do not complete them before the workshop. There are very specific things to fill in and not fill in.
For all 3 forms, you will need to know your Social Security #.
For the I-9 form, you will need to bring the following documents:
EITHER a U.S. Passport/Permanent Resident Card
OR one from each of these lists:
(2) Social Security card, birth certificate, Native American tribal document, OR U.S. Citizen ID card
We will take a photo of or photocopy these documents at the workshop to keep in your file.
#2 Work Permit
If you are under 16 years old
If you will be under 16 years old on the first day of work, you will need to obtain a work permit and bring it to the January 4 or 11 workshops (if possible), or arrange with TGG to drop it off or have someone pick it up.
You will need to visit a Permit Office location, a school location, or better yet, you can now apply online!
You typically need to have the following documents (though you may not need everything if you apply online!):
(1) Social Security card
(2) Proof of age (driver's license, Wisconsin ID, or birth certificate)
(4) Official Hiring Letter (the email we send offering you a position) that explains the nature of the job, the dates and hours, wages, etc.
#3 Bank Account
Official account info & direct deposit info
If you already have a bank account, you will need to send us the following or bring it to the May 15 or May 17 workshop:
(1) your official account information from your bank (with your name and complete account # and routing #), which could be a paper copy, a PDF, or a screenshot. If you can't locate a paper copy or find it online, call your bank and a representative will be able to help you.
(2) our TGG Direct Deposit form letting us know the account # and routing # into which you'd like us to deposit your paycheck. This gives us permission to do so.
If you don't have a bank account yet, you will need to open one:
(1) You can go to our partners at Educators Credit Union in-person OR do a video call during business hours to set up an account with them. They will waive the $5 fee for opening a checking account. You will need to bring or have ready all of the following:
(a) a picture ID of some kind
(b) proof of address on it (mail addressed to you, report card with your address, etc.)
(c) your Social Security number
(d) a valid email address
(2) Or you can open up a checking and/or savings account (we suggest both!) at a bank of your choice. What you need to bring may vary bank by bank, so make sure to contact them.
When you've opened up a bank account(s), you will need to send the following to Dominic Inouye (dinouye@teensgrowgreens.org) or bring them to the May 15 or 17 workshop:
(1) your official account information from your bank (with your name and complete account # and routing #), which could be a paper copy, a PDF, or a screenshot
(2) our TGG Direct Deposit form letting us know the account # and routing # into which you'd like us to deposit your paycheck
