YOUR WEEKLY EMPLOYEE NEWS UPDATE

AUGUST 2, 2023

WHAT TO KNOW

ACKNOWLEDGING REVIEWS AND BONUS

Please acknowledge your Performance Review in ADP if you have not already. This is the final step in the performance review process! Click here for instructions on how to complete it. Your supervisor can also provide additional support. The deadline to acknowledge your review is August 11, 2023.

As previously reported, there will be a monetary merit bonus this year. The amounts have not been finalized but should be determined by August 15th. What is holding this up? People need to complete the performance reviews and employees need to acknowledge them. If you do not acknowledge your review, you will not be eligible for a merit bonus. The bonus amounts are based on the number of people that fall within each category range, and until the evaluations are acknowledged we do not have accurate data.

The bonus amount will be determined based on where your performance score falls. The performance review scoring ranges have been determined and are as follows:

3.7 – 4.0

3.0 – 3.6

2.6 – 2.9

0 – 2.5 = no bonus

IMPORTANT REMINDER: DON'T BE A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT

Scammers continue to look for opportunities to steal your personal information. Recently scammers tried to redirect an employee’s direct deposit to another account.

Effective immediately, staff making changes to their direct deposit or changing their personal email address will be contacted by HR to confirm the change made in ADP. Your request/change will not be approved until the confirmation takes place with HR. This may also include requests to change your tax withholdings (a signed form may be required based on the request).

In addition, follow these guidelines from ADP to reduce the risk of your ADP or other accounts being targeted.

1. Check your devices for malware or anything that should not be there including favorites/shortcuts to access ADP.

2. Confirm your contact information in ADP is 100% accurate (Email address and cell #s). Confirmation/notification of changes in ADP will be sent to this email address or cell number.

3. Consider changing your personal email passwords as this is most likely the compromise point for scammers.

4. Check your mobile device(s) for cash apps that may have authenticated the activity or potentially be corrupt / compromised.

5. Change your user ADP password.

We hope these measures will prevent these scammers from stealing your personal information.

CONWAY WEST DOOR ACCESS WILL BE LIMITED

In our continued efforts to ensure the safety of residents and employees, we will be limiting the use of the Conway West door effective August 1, 2023. All employees using the Devon Lot will be asked to enter and exit the Conway Building through the Human Resource Entrance. Residents and employees who use the Conway West door for activities in the outdoor space will continue to be able to utilize this space. Guidance related to this change will be provided to the DT staff.

If you have questions, please direct them to your Supervisor, Director, or HR.

WHAT TO DO

NEW DESK PHONES

As we near the completion of the new phone system, we ask you to use the new desk phones in your areas and to only use the old phones when contacting the few areas (e.g., the Village) that have not yet converted to the updated system. Almost all hallway, kitchen, and common area phones have already been converted. All other areas are expected to be converted in early August. Additionally, please dial 2038 to reach Thome, as dialing 0 is no longer supported.
