A number of employee activities are coming up. The deadline for nominations to the Staff Advisory Council is May 21; employees may attend training sessions now to learn more about the new online employee services becoming available in July; and the Health Science Center Picnic is set for June 29.

Staff Advisory Council seeking new members

Nominations are being accepted through May 21 for the Health Science Center’s Staff Advisory Council (SAC). Only the positions from the School of Medicine, School of Allied Health Sciences, Dental School, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Offices of the President, Vice President for Research, Vice President for Development and Vice President for Governmental Relations are being filled at this time.

The SAC represents all non-faculty employees, including administrative, professional and classified employees, to Health Science Center leadership. The committee deals with such issues as benefits, communications and staff development.

Members will serve a two-year term beginning Sept. 1. Current members are eligible to serve again by nominating themselves by the May 21 deadline.

After the nomination deadline, all employees will have the opportunity to vote by e-mail.

Paper pay stubs will soon be a thing of the past. When the new online Employee Self Service (ESS) program begins July 5, employees will be able to go online at any time to print their own earnings statements, update their personal information and view their current benefits information.

For a sneak preview of Employee Self Service, attend one of the seminars beginning at 9:30 a.m. on June 5, 11 or 20 in Lecture Hall 1.284T in the Dental School. No registration is required.

ESS is only one of the technological advances the Human Capital Management (HCM) Upgrade team will introduce to the campus in July. For more than a year, Health Science Center staff members have been working to improve and streamline many business processes, upgrading the current HRMS 7.5 system to the new HCM 8.9 system.
