Reminder #1: Please use any remaining PL time prior to January 1st. PL time expires on 12/31 so if it is not used, it is lost.
Reminder #2: A&R has furlough days on 12/26 and 12/27. A&R employees are not obligated to report to work on those 2 dates. Anyone who chooses to work on either or both of those days needs to select another day as their furlough day(s). Remember, we all are taking 3 furlough days between July 2017 and June 2018. Everyone's paycheck is being docked for the value of 3 furlough days so if you do not take all 3 furlough days prior to June 30, 2018 then you far overpaid and there is no refund... it is the responsibility of each individual to ensure that they have taken all 3 furlough days by June 30, 2018.
If you were directed to work on the 11/24 furlough day, you cannot be directed to work on 12/26 or 12/27; management can only direct you to work on one of the three prescribed days.
Reminder #3: Prior to 12/31/17, anyone who has a "chronic condition" should read and complete the form found on the www.cthep.com website for that particular chronic condition. This is part of the compliance piece associated with the $100 rebate...(as a reminder, the password requires at least 8 characters, at least 1 capital letter, and at least 1 number)
Reminder #4: The 2018 Calendar of State Holidays and Check Dates is available for review/download.
