KEY CHANGES:

• New process for all employees for reporting hours worked and time away starting with the December 23 pay period

We are pleased to announce that the College will begin using a new time card, paid time away, and payroll process through IC HR Cloud, beginning with the December 23, 2019 pay period, replacing the current process through Parnassus.

The change is intended to streamline the timekeeping process for all employees, including supervisors. IC HR Cloud will improve payroll processing efficiency and provide employees and supervisors with up-to-date information about hours worked and available absence (PTA) balances.
