Student Supervisors:
There were some problems that cropped up during the March 15 payroll, so I thought I would send out this note with a few reminders. Please use this reminder checklist now as you prepare to send your March time sheets to HR:
To ensure that we get the time sheets on time, please hand-deliver them to HR. You can ask a student employee to deliver the time sheets to us as long as you first put them in a sealed envelope (keeps us in legal compliance). The only exception to this rule is the Portland Center – please scan or fax your time sheets first, then drop the originals in the mail.
Thank you for working with me to ensure a timely and accurate payroll for our students.
