Answer this from our employee handbook and cite the section: where do I park on my first day and do I need a badge?

Here's what your Employee Handbook says about day-one parking and building access, so you can arrive without guessing.

On your first day, park in the visitor lot (Lot C). It's the first entrance on your right as you pull in, and you don't need a pass; just tell the gate attendant you're a new hire. From the Employee Handbook, Section 2.1 (“Your First Day”), page 8.

You won't have a badge yet. Check in at the front desk and they'll issue a temporary visitor badge for the day. Your permanent badge and parking pass are handed out during orientation.

After orientation you'll switch to Lot A, the employee lot, which opens with your new badge.

Want the rest of your first-day checklist: arrival time, who to ask for, and what to bring?
