As the new school year gets underway, the L’Ami staff would like to start work on the yearbook. The only problem is, there is no staff!
As the new editor, Hannah Wilcox would like to ask you as staff/faculty to help her find people who are capable and willing to work on the yearbook for this school year. If you know any students who love writing, conducting interviews, or who just want to get more involved, please encourage them to either contact Hannah at hmorse06@georgefox.edu or fill out a Yearbook Staff Application (located by the ASC offices).
Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Student supervisors, please submit your students’ September time sheets to HR right away — by this Friday, Oct. 2. If you have any “stragglers,” we will take those as late as Monday morning, Oct. 5, but there should be very few. Please deliver all other time sheets to HR by this Friday.
Please be sure the student’s name, ID number and cost center number is legible on each one. Also, don’t forget to sign them and be sure the students did as well. (If the student is not available to sign it this week, please send it without the signature, and HR will contact the student.) Please do not send students to HR to sign their time sheets.
Federal Work Study regulations require that students delivering their own time sheets must have them in a sealed envelope.
If you happen to still have any paperwork to submit on a newly hired student, please hand-deliver it right away — no later than Thursday, Oct. 1. We need to set up students in the system before the time sheets arrive.
This Oct. 15 payroll involves setting up a new pay record for every student employee, whether new or returning, so receiving time sheets and any outstanding paperwork earlier than usual will be a big help to us.
Thanks very much.
Peggy Kilburg, HR
