Beginning this month (October), the new deadline for submitting additional pay is the 13th of each month. The 13th of each month is also the new monthly deadline for all employee time approvals by managers. If the 13th falls on a weekend, the deadline is the following Monday. Anything submitted after this deadline will be paid the following month. This change is to help with ongoing complexities in our systems and to ensure our processes are as efficient and equitable as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Carrie Johnson, payroll manager and human resources coordinator (cjohnson007@luthersem.edu).

Invitation to Join in the ICOM Vigil
The Interfaith Coalition on Immigration is a local group that engages in courageous spiritual, multicultural action in solidarity with immigrants and refugees to achieve justice and stand up to systems of oppression. We hold a brief morning prayer vigil every second Tuesday of the month in front of the Whipple Federal Building (Bishop Henry Whipple Building, Federal Dr, Minneapolis), located near to the Mpls/StPaul airport. The next vigil will be October 8, starting at 7:30 a.m. I invite any and all of you to join in this vigil. I think it’s more powerful in person—and I’ll be there—but you can also attend via Zoom (a link is posted the night before). Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions!
