CDL graduate recognized by TMC Transportation
Jordan Nelson joined TMC Transportation in May 2016 and took top honors in his class after completing the CDL program at New River Community and Technical College.
Nelson had been interested in obtaining a CDL license for some time, but could not pursue the training until he was laid off from the Volvo plant in Dublin, Va. A program through Work Force West Virginia paid for the six-week training program at New River CTC.
"It's a tough lifestyle," Nelson explained. "There's a lot of travel and each day is different. You must want to do it for more than the paycheck to stick with it."
TMC Transportation is an employee-owned flatbed carrier company headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa.

Mercer County students complete phlebotomy requirements
New River Community and Technical College offered the phlebotomy technician program for the first time on the Mercer County Campus during the fall semester.
Students welcomed their friends and family to campus on Dec. 2 as they demonstrated their new knowledge and skills.
Most of the 15 students enrolled in the program are also either pursuing New River CTC's Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assisting or have completed the associate degree program as the phlebotomy certification compliments the medical assisting training.
The 14 credit-hour phlebotomy program can be completed in a semester if a student has met the prerequisite requirements. Students must successfully complete the national phlebotomy exam to receive the technical certificate.

From Human Resources
1. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Kronos Timecard Rounding Rule
- Kronos time rounds to the nearest 15 minutes.
- 7 minutes and below rounds down, 8 minutes and above rounds up.
- i.e. 7:51am rounds down to 7:45am, 7:54am rounds up to 8:00am.
- Be mindful of your punches "in" and "out" and remember these rounding rules.
2. Kronos has been updated with the annual and sick leave totals from the New River CTC Leave Management system. The New River CTC Leave Management system has been de-activated.
- The Accruals Reporting Period tab on your timecard contains your leave balances. You may also view you leave balances when creating a leave request.
3. All leave requests are to be entered through Kronos' "Time Off Request".
4. As a reminder, when entering time off requests...
- The only pay codes that are to be used for time off requests are: ANNLV-ANNUAL LEAVE, SCKLV-SICK LEAVE or COMPT-COMP TIME for compensatory time if applicable.
- Enter Length in hours. Leave must be entered in increments of no less than 15 minutes (.25 hours). Leave less than an hour must be entered in decimals: 0.25 = 15 munities; 0.5 = 30 minutes; and 0.75 = 45 minutes.
- Be mindful of your maximum accruals for annual leave. A leave accrual chart can be found by clicking on the Kronos/Oasis Q & A link on the Human Resource page on the Intranet.
5. With the upcoming Winter Holiday...
- Employees, please verify that leave requests for the month of December have been entered into Kronos, review your timecard for accuracy, and approve your timecard by 12/22/2016 at 4:00 pm.
- Supervisors, please review and approve your employees' leave requests for that pay period. If you are not going to be available to approve your employees' timecards on 12/22/2016, delegate the authority to a fellow supervisor. Contact the Payroll Office for assistance with delegating authority if needed.
6. If you have any questions about the Timecard Rounding Rule, entering leave in Kronos or your leave balances in Kronos please contact the Payroll Office (6733) or Office of Human Resources (6718).
