Join Dr. Thomason and other Mindful Sketching enthusiasts for a one-hour session of mindful sketching. We will gather in Bockman 116 from 12:45-1:45 p.m. on Thursday, March 9. Bring whatever drawing materials you enjoy using. No experience necessary. This is a judgment-free zone. It’s not about the art you produce, it’s about the experience of being present in the moment.

When? Monday, March 13, 2023 from 9:30–10:30 a.m. CT or 6:30–7:30 p.m. CT
Where? On Zoom – Register Here:

9:30–10:30 a.m. session

Base Salary? Housing allowance? Deductions? Defined Compensation? Reimbursement Plans? Qualifying Expenses? Taxable and Non-Taxable Income? Professional Expenses? WHAT IS ALL THIS??? Come for one hour, and we will define all these terms for you, answer questions, and point you to additional support as you need it.

Because this topic is so important, we are offering two sessions for you to choose from. One in the morning from 9:30–10:30 a.m. CT, and an identical session in the evening from 6:30–7:30 p.m. CT. Choose the time that works for you. Bring your questions!

Questions? Contact Arlene Flancher or Grace Pomroy from the Stewardship Leaders Program.

As a friendly reminder to all staff, faculty, and student workers, in April 2023, we will begin issuing one payroll per month. There will no longer be a payroll on the 5th of the month. So all housing allowances and student workers’ pay will be issued on the 20th of every month from this date and thereafter.

We also have the On Demand Payment option set up in Paylocity for all employees to use. This allows you to tell Paylocity you want an advance on your pay. This functionality is directly between Paylocity and the employee.

For your assistance, you may learn more from one or more helps:
1. HR will assign a training video to all student employees to go more in-depth on how to access this benefit.
2. There are also instructions on how to use this on the Paylocity mobile app under More options> Knowledge Base>(Type in:) “Use On-Demand Payment”
3. You can find printable instructions here. This will give you a step-by-step version of how to use this resource if you would like an advance. All supervisors will also have copies of these instructions to share with student employees.

If you need any further assistance, please contact your manager or the Payroll Manager, Carrie Johnson.
