New Benefit Announcement (11/06/07)

During the last legislative session, a law was passed to to provide non health insurance participants with basic term life and basic special accident life benefits effective January 1st, 2008 at no cost.  To participate, you must meet the eligibility criteria for the University of Tennessee Employee Insurance Program and you should complete a Basic Life Insurance Beneficiary Designation Form.  For information on the plan, refer to the UT Benefit Announcement Letter mailed to eligible recipients on 11/08/2007 and the Fort Dearborn Handbook.

 

Enhancement to HR Termination E-Form (11/30/06)

A change has been made to the Termination E-form. The "Annual Leave Hours to be Paid" and the "Comp Time Hours To Be Paid" fields have been expanded to show five decimal places instead of two decimal places. This change solves a rounding problem that was occurring occasionally in an internal process. Even though the fields will now allow five decimal places, no changes are needed in the way that you enter hours to be paid. You may still enter the hours with two decimal places.

In addition to noting the pay period ending dates and payroll dates, this calendar gives the departmental deadlines for biweekly and monthly time entry and approval, Personnel Information Form processing deadlines as well as Effort Certification Reporting entry and approval deadlines.
