Subject: Sharing some end-of-semester information with you

Wednesday, April 28, 2021 9:53AM

Dear administrative staff member,

Human Resources has several pieces of information to share with you as the spring semester draws to a close…

1) If you have a student worker who is graduating in May or who is graduating in August and NOT taking at least 6 credit hours in the summer they must end their student employment on or before May 6 (the last day of spring semester). If you have a Federal Work Study (FWS) student who will be working over the summer you must either transition them to wage employment or institutional employment (IE) for the summer on or before May 6. If you have a student worker transitioning to wage employment you must submit an ePAR to Human Resources in order to hire them as a wage employee. Please note that the employee is not eligible to begin work as a wage employee until they have been cleared by Human Resources. It is the responsibility of the departments to prohibit students from working beyond May 6 and until the confirmation email from Human Resources is received. Questions? Please contact HR’s Onboard Specialist at 540/568-4473, onbaord@jmu.edu.

2) All active hourly wage and student employees (Federal Work-Study & Institutional Employment) on May 1, 2021 earning less than $9.50 per hour will have their salaries automatically increased to $9.50 by Payroll Services.  When preparing ePARs/PARs with a start date on or after 5/1/2021 please make sure that your employee is earning the new state minimum wage or above. More information to come on a second increase for January. A separate email will be forthcoming with instructions for departments paying students via additional pay for the fall semester. For any questions pertaining to wage employees please contact HR at humanresources@jmu.edu. For questions regarding student employees please contact Student Employment at studentjobs@jmu.edu

3) Open Enrollment Period for Health Insurance, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA’s), and Aflac is Monday, May 3 – Monday, May 17, 2021.

EmployeeDirect allows you to:          
Change/update your health insurance
Enroll/reenroll in a Flexible Spending Account
Update your personal information

The Health Assessment must be completed between May 3-17 to continue receiving Premium Rewards. Completing this before May 3 will not continue your Premium Reward in the new plan year.

For additional information and guides, please visit our website.  Individual Benefit Summaries containing your current benefits and answers to frequently asked questions will be sent to your JMU email on Monday, May 3. 

Please contact a member of the Human Resources Benefits team at 540/568-3593 or benefits@jmu.edu for assistance. As a reminder, the Office of Human Resources will operate on the university’s modified summer work schedule and will close at noon on Fridays beginning the week of Monday, May 10 and ending Friday, August 13.

4) Reminder:  As your thoughts turn to office “spring cleaning” and what to do with all those stored records, the eRM-3 form replaced the Word and pdf versions of the Certificate of Records Destruction form. See HR’s Records Management website for links to the Library of Virginia’s schedules and the electronic e RM-3 form.

5) Policy 1311 – Personnel Action Requests has been removed from the Manual of Policies and Procedures website. The procedural content in the archived policy is now found on the Human Resources homepage under “HR Resources”. See ePAR, PAR & Query Requests.

As the spring semester draws to a close, our focus turns to departing students and co-workers, attending to summer to-do lists, and making vacation plans become reality. Our splendid spring campus gives way to summer’s sweet aura. Can you find a personal moment to reflect on what is special and meaningful to you during your work day? In the Office of Human Resources, it is the people we serve and the relationships we build.

 

Subject: New Library of Virginia Records Management Online Process

Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:08AM

Greetings from Human Resources,

On Monday, November 16, the Library of Virginia Records Management Services is implementing a new online process of entering records destruction information as well as for authorizing and affirming destruction.

The eRM-3 template replaces the Word and pdf versions of the Certificate of Records Destruction form (2013 and 2020 versions) you have been accustomed to using.

Earlier versions of the RM-3 form will not be accepted on or after Monday, November 16.

Documenting the authorized destruction of public records is required by the Code of Virginia §42.1-86.1. It also provides the university with a layer of defensibility when questions arise regarding a records existence or disposition. Proper documentation shows that records were disposed of in accordance with Library of Virginia (LVA) Records Retention and Disposition Schedules, and with records management best practices.

Now is the time to become familiar with the web based application and plan for integrating this into your office processes beginning Monday, November 16.

The LVA eRM-3 Training: Form Creator Walkthrough takes approximately 12 minutes to view.

Link to the new online Certificate of Records Destruction (eRM-3 form) available for use on Monday, November 16. (Again, earlier versions of RM-e forms will not be accepted after November 16.)

Step-by-step instructions for completing the online form can be found here.

See HR’s Records Management website for more information and useful links.

Please share this message with others in your area who may need to know of this process change.

Questions? Contact Cathy Thomas, University Records Officer, thomasce@jmu.edu.

 

Subject: Telecom Request, COVID-19 Employee Resources and Connections Day

Thursday, September 24, 2020 2:28PM

Greetings from Human Resources,

We wanted to touch base with a few items as we progress through the 2020 fall semester…

Here’s a request from the folks with JMU Telecom -

We would like to be contacted via email (telecom@jmu.edu) when there is a change in your department’s staffing. An accurate database is necessary for the ability to roll out new phone features.

Things we are looking to learn are as follows:

• Name of the new staff member? If no, do we need to disconnect the line?
• Did the previous staff member have additional communication devices? If yes, do we need to disconnect or re-assign to the new staff member?
  • Cellular Phone
  • MiFi (Wireless Mobile Data)
  • Conference Card
  • Pager

Thanks!

JMU Telecom

Also, if you complete the transfer or separation checklists for your department, you will see a reminder form Telecom in the list of items to be considered upon transfer, separation, or a job ending.

Return to Workplace Guidelines can be found at STOP THE SPREAD: Important University Updates Amid the Pandemic by clicking on the Employee FAQ link.

We ask for your assistance in encouraging new employees who were hired in 2020 to join us for a virtual Connections Day Thursday, October 1 from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.  New employees will be introduced to other new hires and learn about JMU’s history, resources and opportunities available to all JMU employees. This event will be held over WebEx and registration is required. Additional dates, details, and the registration link are available on HR’s Connections Day website. Questions?

Subject: Payroll's Direct Deposit Authorization form is changed

Wednesday, October 2, 2019 2:55pm

Greetings,

 Human Resources is collaborating with Payroll Services to widely circulate this important message:

 Direct deposit fraud continues to target agencies in the Commonwealth. Because of this, Payroll’s Direct Deposit Authorization form has changed.

 Effective immediately, JMU has added an extra layer of security on our employee direct deposit form on our Payroll Services website. Employees must now use their log in credentials to access the form in order to print it.

 Do not share this form electronically; however, departments may share the form’s electronic link internally via JMU e-mail accounts to students and staff or use a printed form. With that said, the printed form is not to be attached and electronically sent via e-mail.

 Discard old form versions and begin using the most recent form dated 9/2019. You may access the new JMU Employee Direct Deposit Authorization form via Payroll Services forms site.

 For active employees, direct deposit information can still be viewed and updated via MyMadison. Employees with an active direct deposit form on file do not need to complete a new one.

Remember:

• DO NOT share the direct deposit form electronically.
• NEVER accept a direct deposit change received through email or fax.
• ALWAYS make sure that the most current version of the direct deposit form is used. The form has been revised as of 09/19;  earlier versions should not be accepted.
• NEVER accept a direct deposit change that is not completely filled out (all required fields) and signed by the employee. 

 Please contact the Payroll Services, 540-568-6233, with questions.

Tuesday 7/24/2018 1:22 p.m.

Greetings from Human Resources,

 We’re highlighting some important and timely administrative information for you:

•  The next Connections Day is Wednesday August 1 from 8:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Montpelier Room, E-Dining Hall. New JMU employees hired between April 2018 and July 2018 are invited to attend. Additional details and the link for employees to register (required) can be found at  www.jmu.edu/humanresources/connections.

• On June 26, 2018 the Office of Governor Ralph S. Northam announced the signing of Executive Order Number Twelve, a new parental leave benefit for full-time, benefited employees of the Commonwealth. See  Parental Leave. 

• Late I-9=$100 Fine - Beginning August 1, 2018 expect a $100 fine (after two warnings) if your employee begins work without a valid Form I-9 on file. Failure to comply with I-9 regulations could result in costly fines to the university; therefore, you must ensure that all new and returning employees (with a break in service of one year or longer) complete an I-9 before beginning work. There are no provisions for volunteerism. Questions? Contact Student Employment ( studentjobs@jmu.edu) or Human Resources ( humanresources@jmu.edu).

• Policy  1307-Performance Evaluation of Administrative & Professional Faculty was recently updated with a process change – “Annual performance evaluations are to be conducted between June 1 and August 31 each year and  submitted to Human Resources by the last workday in September.” An updated position description should be sent with the evaluation.

• Forms for requesting waiver of tuition must be received in Human Resources by 5:00 p.m. of the Add/Drop deadline or they will be denied. Add/Drop dates are found on the Office of the Registrar’s  website. Also, calendar year tuition for all graduate courses that exceed the IRS’ $5,250 threshold will be taxed 3/30, 6/30, 9/30 and again on 11/30.

• Pilot departments have begun moving their classified employee position descriptions (PDs) out of PositionLink and into the PeopleSoft HR system. HR is systematically working with departments, division by division, to move their PDs out of PositionLink and into the HR system by June 30, 2019. Questions? Email  positiondescription@jmu.edu.

• REMINDER: When an employee is approved for a Leave of Absence (LOA), whether it is paid or unpaid, an ePAR must be submitted by the department to indicate the change in status. The ePAR must contain the begin and end dates of the leave of absence. LOAs can have an effect on employee benefits so it is important that ePARs be submitted in a timely manner. A separate ePAR must be submitted to bring the employee back from the leave of absence.

Thank you and please let us know how we may assist you.

All you need to do is follow the 2 easy steps below:

1. On the posting's Applicants tab, check the desired applications that you wish to generate a combined document for. You can also check the box above the blue line to select all applicants. Then, select Actions > Create Document PDF per Applicant.

2. The applications you selected will have View links appear under the Combined Document search column; clicking one of these will display an application with all candidate and reference documents. Unselected applications will have Generate links; clicking one of these will create a PDF for this application.

SUBJECT: What's in Your Department's Files?

Tuesday 8/22/2017 3:39 p.m.

Human Resources would like to take this opportunity to offer departments guidance for appropriately preserving the confidentiality of university data.

As described in JMU Policy 1205-University Data Stewardship, highly confidential data is any university data which, because of its associated legal restrictions or potential security ramifications, is authorized for use only on a very limited basis and only with special security precautions.

When associated with an employee’s name or other personal identifier, the following data are classified by the university as highly confidential data:

Some examples of documents which are not to be collected or stored outside the JMU central systems without specific approval of the university data managers include:

Check hard disks and document backups to ensure that SSN or other sensitive personal data isn't included in old personnel files, employee lists, student grade rosters, etc. Remove any sensitive personal data you don't need by deleting the files altogether or removing the sensitive portions.

See IT’s website  for Best Practices for Protecting Sensitive/Personal Data and Guidelines for Data Storage and Collaboration.  

You may also be interested in knowing that employee and/or supervisor access to official university records is provided, as needed, by contacting your HR Consultant to schedule a time to view the employee’s personnel file in Human Resources.

Questions may be directed to Bobby Zaepfel, Records and Customer Service Coordinator, zaepferp@jmu.edu, 540/568-6179.

Wednesday 5/24/2017 9:41 a.m.

In case you didn’t hear…              

We are pleased to announce that Assistantship Contracts will now be transitioned from paper PAR processes to electronic PAR (ePAR). Assistantship Contracts include Graduate Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Service Assistants, Research Assistants, Athletic Assistants and Doctorial Assistants.

Contact Rachel Sellers in Human Resources if you have questions related to ePAR initiation, routing and security. Her contact information is sellerrj@jmu.edu or 540-568-4997.

Laura Ryman will be added to the security table for all departments so she can approve all ePAR Assistantship Contracts, prior to them proceeding to SWEC.

Questions about Assistantship Contracts should continue to be directed to The Graduate School or Laura Ryman, rymanle@jmu.edu .

Attach the following documents to the ePAR:

SUBJECT: Information for you

Tuesday 5/15/2017 9:21 a.m.

A few moments of your time and attention please:

Open Enrollment for health benefits and flexible spending accounts ends today (Monday, May 15)

Today is the last day for eligible employees to enroll in a health plan and/or an FSA, change a health plan, add or remove family members or waive state health coverage.

To enroll or make changes, submit an  enrollment form  to HR by 5:00 p.m. Monday, May 15, 2017.

How do I submit my form?

What if I have questions?

See HR’s Open Enrollment website or call 540-568-6165, 540-568-3593.

ACA Regulations reminder

JMU as a Virginia State Agency must limit part-time employment to no more than 29 hours per week on average over the standard measurement period, May 1-April 30.

Part-time employees may work multiple part-time jobs at the university; however, ALL part-time hours worked are combined for calculating the average number of hours worked per week.

Affordable Care Act regulations also mandate that full-time employees who leave employment with the university may not be re-hired to work any part-time hours until the employee has been separated a minimum of 26 weeks. This rule applies to JMU classified employees, and full-time instructional and A&P faculty

Transfer process changes effective now

When an employee transfers from one department to another, the employee may have department specific resources and/or core systems access they should not “carry” with them to their new position. IT will now automatically deactivate such accesses on the transfer effective date (except grant org transfers).

When supervisors transfer employees into their department, they must submit the appropriate form(s) to IT to request department specific resources and/or core systems access needed for the employee’s/student employee’s position.

SUBJECT: Important message regarding signatures on faculty contracts

Tuesday 1/24/2017 1:17 p.m.

Greetings,

Human Resources would like to advise those who complete faculty contracts of the following:

It will no longer be necessary for President Alger to sign Instructional and A&P Faculty Contract forms. Signature authority will reside with the appropriate Vice President. New contract forms reflecting this change can be found on the HR website forms page at https://www.jmu.edu/humanresources/forms/index.shtml under the “Faculty Contracts” section.

We ask that beginning immediately you download and use the new forms.

All in-process contracts that include a signature line for the president must be signed by President Alger. We realize it may take a couple of weeks to finalize all in-process contracts.

This change will be reflected in Policy 2101 – Faculty Selection and Hiring Procedures.

Please contact your HR Consultant if you have any questions or concerns.

SUBJECT: Tips for ePAR/PAR Initiators

Tuesday 10/18/2016 3:41 p.m.

Greetings from Human Resources!

We’d like to share a few important tips with those who initiate ePARs/PARs.

Confused about which ePAR form to use to rehire adjuncts for the spring semester?

When an adjunct faculty member is teaching during the fall semester and will also teach in the spring, please complete the Existing Job Change Form to extend the contract before the adjunct’s current end date in the system for fall (12/24). * Please do not use the Hire Form to extend the contract.

See example for extending an adjunct’s contract to teach in the spring:

*If the Existing Job Change Form is not completed before the employee’s end date (12/24), then the Hire Form will need to be completed as the system will not allow you to complete a data change/contract extension on an employee who is termed in the system.

Note: You will always use the Hire Form to hire new or to rehire adjuncts who did not teach during the fall semester.

Employee transferring to another department at JMU

The current department does not need to complete a termination ePAR for a transferring employee. It is the hiring department’s responsibility to complete a hire ePAR for the employee and select the Transfer box on the last page of the ePAR to transfer that employee out of the current position/department and into the new one.

Employee transferring to another state agency

When an employee transfers to another state agency or university, it is very important that the correct Action and Reason codes be used to ensure a seamless transition for the employee from one state agency to another. The correct Action on the ePAR to use is “Termination” and the correct reason code to use is “TAF-Transfer to Other State Agency”.

Hire and separation date effect on leave accruals

Please be mindful of pay period dates when hiring and separating A&P faculty and classified employees. An employee must work the full pay cycle in order to accrue leave for that pay period. Pay periods begin on the 10 ^th and 25 ^th and end on the 9 ^th and 24 ^th of the month. If the employee’s first day of work is Monday, September 26 and they will be working a Monday-Friday schedule, enter their hire date as Sunday, September 25 (the first day of the pay cycle). The employee will not receive pay for Sunday as it is their schedule off day but they will receive the leave accrual for the pay period.

Selecting a Supervisor for Part-Time Work

When selecting a supervisor for an employee that your department hires for part-time work (TNT, RNT, WAGE) please make sure that the supervisor indicated on the ePAR/PAR is the supervisor for that part-time job.  In many cases, this is not the supervisor of the employee’s full-time job.

Questions?

Please contact Rachel Sellers, ePAR/PAR Coordinator, 540/568-4997, sellerrj@jmu.edu.

SUBJECT: Important ACA and Re-hires message

Friday 4/22/2016 1:23 p.m.

Greetings!

Human Resources would like to advise you of the following:

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Under Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations the university may no longer rehire a former JMU full-time employee into a part-time position until the employee has been separated for a minimum of 26 weeks. This mandate applies to classified employees, and full-time instructional and A&P faculty. 

This federal directive under ACA creates a significant change in hiring practices for the university and may present staffing challenges.

I encourage hiring managers to contact their HR Consultant or Recruitment Specialist for assistance when making re-hire decisions on any JMU employee who was most recently employed in a full-time position at JMU and who wishes to return to JMU in any part-time capacity.

Diane Yerian

HR Director

SUBJECT: Employee Resource Group Info Sessions 10/13 & 10/16
Mon day 10/12/2015 2:43 p.m.

As highlighted in the president’s message to staff and faculty, Human Resources has been working on a number of initiatives to create a more enriching, inclusive and engaging workplace for all JMU employees and provide opportunities for greater work/life balance.  We are excited to announce the launch of our newest program: Employee Resource Groups.   

Employee Resource Groups, also known as ERGs, are organizationally supported employee groups that engage different generations, backgrounds, ethnicities and perspectives across all disciplines and will be a catalyst to engage our entire community in supporting the university’s mission, vision and values. We welcome your participation in one of these upcoming information sessions:

Tuesday, October 13                    Wine-Price Building, Pathways Room G006    2:30 p.m. or 3:30 p.m.
Friday, October 16                        ISAT/CS Building, NTelos Room 259                 11:00 a.m. or 12:15 p.m.

We encourage you to attend a session and learn more about the following groups that JMU employees may join/participate in:

Tapestry:  Ethnically diverse employees and those that enjoy sharing and learning about diverse backgrounds and promoting cultural awareness.
Veterans: Active duty, reserve, veteran, guard, military family members and supporters.
WeCare: Working caregivers and those who support them in parenting, guardianship, grandparenting, or those assisting elders or individuals that are sick or living with a disability.

Human Resources will be providing support to these groups and the mission and activities will be focused on four main goals - Recruitment, Talent Development and Retention, Engagement and Outreach.

Some of the benefits offered by ERGs for employees, managers and the university include:

More information about JMU Employee Resource Groups is available on the Human Resources website.  Please come out to see what ERGs are all about! Renee Reed, Employment Outreach Specialist, reedra@jmu.edu, 540/568-7203.

SUBJECT: No More Phase One or Phase Two New Employee Orientation Sessions
Monday 8/10/2015 8:32 a.m.

Human Resources is excited to introduce Dukes at Work, JMU’s new employee onboarding program! Gone are the former Phase One and Phase Two new employee orientation sessions.

In your support role, we felt it was important to share this information with you. Department heads, managers and supervisors have been sent an email from Human Resources about the program.

In addition to the information below about this newly implemented employee onboarding program, we would like to offer you the opportunity to attend an overview to help you better understand the program and be able to provide guidance to others in your department who are involved with the recruitment and selection of new employees.

The overviews will be held in Wine-Price Room 2050 and have been scheduled for:
Tuesday, August 18 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Session 1501
or
Friday, September 18 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Session 1502

You can register to attend either session through MyMadison. Just log in with your eID and password, click the Employee tab, then Request Training Enrollment, and type TD2050 in the box beside “Search by course number”.

Four Significant Changes

The new Dukes at Work program replaces the former Phase One and Phase Two New Employee Orientation sessions. Dukes at Work involves maximizing the time for collection of relevant new hire forms and dissemination of benefits information; building more personalized connections with the Human Resources team; providing guidance to departments to accelerate the time to full productivity; and creating enhanced, meaningful opportunities for new employees to connect to the JMU culture and community.

The first component of this strategy is now being implemented, and there are four significant changes that you should be aware of:

Each category outlines the specific steps that need to be taken for successful onboarding. We encourage you to view and familiarize yourself with them.

We have developed a list of FAQs for the Dukes at Work onboard program. One of your first questions may be “Why?” The answer is simple - Dukes at Work is a culmination of efforts to fulfill our mission: Human Resources is dedicated to customer service, a positive approach to change and the pursuit of excellence that promotes university and individual success.

Please consider attending one of the informational sessions that we mentioned earlier. We look forward to seeing you there!
