A new work standard has been put out for dead battery disposal.  Please put dead batteries in the assigned box in the storage room so that they can be disposed appropriately. 


Mileage Submission

As an employee, it is your responsibility to track and submit your mileage for reimbursement.  The expectation is that this is done MONTHLY to ensure timely payment, and align with department budgeting.  With ongoing changes to processes in MyConnection, we often discover new things.  Recently an employee attempted to submit a mileage claim from several months previous and was unable to do so.  There is no work around for this predicament as the expectation is that these claims are made on a monthly basis.   Keep in mind that while not ideal, MyConnection can be accessed on ANY computer or device that has internet connection.  In the event that you are not at work for an extended period to submit your claim, please do it on a personal device to ensure that you don't miss out on being reimbursed!!  

New Master Rotation

A new master rotation has been approved and will be implemented beginning May 17. Until then, we will follow the schedule that is posted in the black book.

Everyone should have received an email from Sarah Karpiniak (our HR representative) with a copy of the master and instruction on how to choose your line.  A paper copy is also posted in the cubicles.  
Following the line choices, the summer schedule will be released.

Please keep in mind that there are A LOT of needs over the summer.  On days where we already have several needs, making an LO takes away from those who could fill the need, essentially leaving the unit shorter.  As much as possible, please try to trade your shifts so that we can achieve safe staffing levels over summer.
