ATTENTION: HURRICANE HELENE

Our thoughts are with those dealing with the unprecedented tragedy following Hurricane Helene and we are grateful for all that state employees are doing to help.

Those interested in contributing to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to help communities recover from Helene can donate here. To stay up to date on information published by the Governor's office and state agencies, find press releases here.

For those concerned about tracking steps during power outages, estimated step counts are always accepted using the conversion tool in the participant's spreadsheet. If you are unable to report your steps for this check-in deadline, you may retroactively report your steps at a later deadline.

REPORTING ACCURATE STEPS

Please be sure your team members are accurately reporting their steps. If you are using a smartwatch, pedometer or step-counting app while taking part in physical activities you should not use the conversion function in the participant's spreadsheet to report those steps; they're already accounted for in the number of steps your watch or pedometer reports. For more help on filling out the participant's spreadsheet, find directions here.

COMPLETING THE CHECK-IN FORM

Below are some helpful tips for completing the bi-weekly submission form:

If you cannot find your team name listed on the form, you can type it in.
The step total you need to report can be found on your captain's spreadsheet in the blue box in the top right corner.
Do not use commas or decimals in your step count.
Do not upload your participant sheets; you should transfer all information to your captain's sheet and upload it only.
