New time sheet policy Salaried staff members are no longer required to complete semimonthly time sheets. All time off, excluding standard SCAD holidays, should be reported to supervisors using the new semimonthly leave request forms, located on the SCAD Web site at www.scad.edu/forms. Supervisors will forward the approved forms to the assistant to the vice president of their areas. For more information about this new process, contact the office of human resources at 525-5540, e-mail lpetain@scad.edu, or payroll at 525-6160, e-mail sgarris@scad.edu. Please note: Hourly employees should continue to complete biweekly timesheets as usual. Computer training courses to be offered Updated schedules for the June computer training sessions are now available.

Staff and faculty who have not attended a new employee orientation or would like a refresher can sign up now. Sessions are offered June 14 and June 28. To register, contact training@scad.edu. Due to a limited number of seats, prior registration is required for all training sessions. Check requests need Banner ID When requesting a check from purchasing for a faculty or staff member, or for a student, write the individual’s full name and Banner ID number on the purchase requisition form. This practice helps alleviate an increasing problem of checks being cut to the wrong individuals, due to duplicate and similar names. Purchase requisitions received without this information will be returned to the original requestors for completion.
