Pay/debit card option introduced for employees without direct depositThe University of Florida’s direct deposit policy states, “All employees, including temporary hires and non-work study students, are required to participate in the Direct Deposit Program as a condition of employment, regardless of date of hire.” However, for a variety of reasons, a significant number of paper paychecks are still issued each pay cycle. Based on a recommendation from the University Cost Reduction and Efficiency Task Force, UF has established a new pay/debit card as an option for employees who currently receive a paper paycheck. Employees not enrolled in the Direct Deposit Program will have until May 1 to enroll. After May 1, any employees who have not enrolled in the Direct Deposit Program or established a pay/debit card will receive their paychecks at their home address. |
UF supervisors: It’s time to complete staff performance appraisalsOnce again, it is time to issue annual performance appraisals for USPS and TEAMS employees. The evaluation period for all USPS and TEAMS employees is from March 1, 2007, through February 29, 2008, with appraisals completed by March 31, 2008. Annual performance appraisals are designed to document and summarize feedback that employees have received throughout the year. Feedback through formal performance appraisals is important to employees and can affect various other personnel-related actions; thus, supervisors should give priority to completing performance appraisals. |
| Double-deductions begin for nine- and ten-month employees
To ensure coverage for health, state life, optional, and supplemental insurances continue during the summer, nine- and ten-month employees will have double-deductions taken from their paychecks beginning with the February 1 paycheck and continuing through May 9. Normal payroll deductions will resume in September. Nine- and ten-month employees whose pay will be interrupted during this period or who will terminate employment at the end of the spring semester should contact University Benefits and Retirement at (352) 392-2477 (SC 622-2477) or benefits@ufl.edu. |
