July 2020 Announcements

Office Skills Assessment

Office skills assessments are transitioning to remote testing. Candidates will no longer be required to physically be onsite for tests. Test requests will be sent to candidates by email.

FY 21 Holiday Calendar

The rules were changed to send requests to the Chancellor instead of the Board of Regents. Our proposed calendar has been sent by Dr. Trauth to the Chancellor and we will publish it after approval.

Performance Planning

In June 2020, Staff Performance Plans became available to campus. Please use this time to start planning the next performance period with your teams. This is a great opportunity to set new goals or job duties to enhance career development. Please access the step-by-step user guides if you need any help completing the performance plans. Deadline to complete is July 31.

DOL Compliance Investigation

Texas State has recently been informed by the Department of Labor (DoL) that we are subject to a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) compliance investigation.  As a part of the investigation, any employee could potentially be invited to an interview with the DOL representative.  Please be aware that the University is prohibited from any retaliation as a result of these interviews.

PCR Reminder | How to avoid delays?

To make sure all PCRs are processed  quickly and accurately, please remember to submit the new 2020 W4 with all quick-hire, quick-rehire and additional appointment (hourly) PCRs. This requirement is due to the new 2020 W4 that came out in January. Employees who attend N.E.W. I will complete the new 2020 W4 during onboarding, and it is not needed on the PCR. If you have questions, please email, hr_mdc@txstate.edu.

Summer Insurance Enrollment Ending July 24

Just a reminder that our annual insurance and TexFlex enrollment period ends Friday, July 24. Employees can make changes through ERS Online until 7 pm. For employees that need computer assistance, the Benefits office is open Monday – Friday 8 – 5 p.m. with paper forms available. However, these forms need to be completed and turned in to JCK 360 by July 22 to give us time to enter the change for you.
