Next Steps

Medical Forms

As part of your onboarding process, you are eligible to complete your required medical exams free of charge. We highly recommend taking advantage of this service to ensure a smooth and convenient application process.

Criminal History Background Check

You will be asked to sign 3 forms granting Rockaway permission to conduct a background check. If you haven’t been fingerprinted previously, you will need to complete this step. If you have been fingerprinted, we will wait for clearance.

Orientation

Upon submission of all required documents, you will receive a link to complete orientation (1 hour and 30 min long).

Final Steps

Application completion

After fulfilling all the necessary steps, you will be asked to electronically sign your completed application

Final Review

A final review will be conducted to ensure all submitted documents meet the necessary requirements, and nothing has been overlooked. This step helps minimize potential future issues

Once your application process is complete, a representative will contact you to review the following:

Clocking in and Clocking out procedures
How to request cases broadcasted
What to do and what to avoid after accepting a case
How to access your employee benefits
