Getting Ready for Your First Day

We're glad you are joining the Commerce team! We hope you find satisfaction in your new job, with opportunities to learn and grow. The following information will help you prepare for your first day.

Message from the Governor

Gather Form I-9 Acceptable Documents

Gather Form I-9 acceptable documents to show your identity and authorization to work. Bring those documents with you on your first day.

Note: Do not fill out the OneStop I-9 form online. You will complete it in-person on your first day.

Plan Your Attire

On your first day, you will take your badge photo and be given a tour of parts of the building. Come ready to get your photo taken. We suggest business attire.

Plan How to Get Here

On your first day, you will come to the Golden Rule Building at 85 Seventh Place East in St. Paul (map), to Suite 280 on second floor.

You can get here on public transit by light rail or bus. If you drive, plan to pay for parking at street meters or the Robert Street Parking Ramp, which connects at 3rd level by skyway to the Golden Rule Building.

Plan What to Eat or Drink

Pack Your Own Food and Beverage
You may bring in your own food and beverages. We have refrigerators and eating spaces available. You will see where these are located during the building tour.

Dine Out
The Golden Rule Building is connected by skyway to many places for dining. We are happy to recommend a few places for you to try.

On Your First Day

Bring your Form I-9 documents and arrive at the Golden Rule Building at the scheduled time. Check in at Suite 280 with your photo ID and let them know you are meeting with your supervisor.

Sometime during your first day, Human Resources will meet with you.

During this first day of orientation, you will:

• Complete Form I-9 and other required paperwork
• Learn more about working for Commerce, our work policies, employee benefits, and more
• Get a tour of our hybrid office space
• Receive equipment needed for your job such as a laptop, monitors, and a keyboard
