Web Time Entry Training

We have added two additional training sessions this week for the Web Time Entry training. We will go through the process of entering hours for non-exempt hourly staff, entering absences for all monthly staff, and supervisor responsibilities. The training is critical in a successful transition to a biweekly payroll in January. Understanding how the Web Time Entry system works and your responsibilities will avoid potential delays in paychecks and/or potential delays in paychecks for staff reporting to you.

All staff, currently paid on a monthly basis right now, must attend one of the training sessions. Space is limited at each session due to computer availability. Please sign up on the HR Moodle site to ensure your spot at your session preference.

Below are the dates:
Wednesday, January 5 from 9:00 - 10:00 am in Sverdrup 201
Wednesday, January 5 from 11:00 - 12:30 pm in Sverdrup 201- in-depth for supervisors

Seeking Room or Apartment to Rent

Hello, I'm seeking a room or apartment to rent, with a move-in date after Feb 1, but no later than Mar 1. I am a 32 year old gay male with two declawed/fixed cats. I go to Augsburg on weekends and work full-time for a bank in Bloomington, so preferably I'm looking for a place in S Mpls, Richfield or Bloomington. I am friendly but introverted, not too picky in terms of roommates as long as they are intelligent, respectful and friendly. I would prefer to live in a non-smoking home or apartment.

I am looking to pay no more than $550 for a studio apartment, or $450 for a room. If you would like to know more or are aware of a situation I'd be interested in, please let me know. Thanks!
