News to know ...

Stay current in EzLabor … especially this week! The college will transmit the final 2007 payroll (for the entire campus) at noon Thursday, Dec. 27. Please ensure all EzLabor approvals are complete before leaving for the long Christmas holiday. Absolute deadline for approvals: 10 a.m. on Dec. 27. After 10 a.m., any times recorded without supervisor approval will be deleted.

 

To pay bills and receive reimbursement in 2007, submit check requests and reimbursement forms before noon next Thursday, Dec. 27. Next week’s check run is the last of calendar year 2007. So, either we submit the forms this week, or we have only a half-day to get the job done. Because the College is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!

"…  I’ve investigated the Sami Spartan case thoroughly and it involves far more than just a murder. The root of the story is covered up by more layers of lies and secrecy than dirty clothes on the floor of a dorm room.
