Hello All,

We are pleased to inform you that we are in the process of implementing a new system for payroll, human resource management, and employee self-service.   Please take a few moments to read the attached announcement.

 

The new system will provide a more user-friendly interface that will benefit employees, managers, and those that manage employee data and process payroll.  We will be moving away from Sage Self Service and TimeStar timekeeping.  All systems will be integrated into one PayCom system.

 

ALL employees will be trained on the new system.  More information and training dates will be coming in the next few weeks.  Our expected “go-live” date for the new system is the first payroll in October.  All training will be completed prior to the go-live date for all employees.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the HR Hotline at 850-914-8456
