Additional Sessions for New Web Time Entry System

Everyone is invited to several hands-on open labs about our upcoming move to a new web time entry system. Now that we have made the transition it is a great time to sharpen your skills in the system.

The key benefits of the new web time entry system are:

- no Java except for what is in your coffee mug
- easy time entry for students with multiple jobs
- supervisors able to view time worked by student workers in all jobs
- up to the minute benefit accrual time information on the main screen showing time taken, available and requested
- easier reporting options for supervisors

The new time entry system is the place where the benefit accrual time is calculated each pay period for the benefit-eligible employees. It is the main keeper of the benefit accruals. Hands-on training sessions are listed below. These will be open labs. Come when you want and leave when you want.

Employee-focused sessions:
Friday June 6, 12 noon-3pm, Sverdrup 201 Computer Lab (NEW!)

Supervisor-focused sessions (NEW!):
Thursday May 29, 1-2pm, Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab
Thursday June 5, 12 noon-2pm, Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab

If you have any questions please let myself or Theresa Gade (gade@augsburg.edu) know.

Coffee Table and End Tables

My husband and I recently moved into a new home and have some items that don't fit with new room sizes. We are selling two end tables and a matching coffee table for $250 (set). Write to me at waggoner@augsburg.edu or call me at 763-227-4949 if interested and I'll send photos. All are in good shape, though not new. Cherry finish.

Thank you.
