ATTENTION: HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLEES
As explained by The Department of Civil Service earlier this year, a surcharge was added to health insurance premiums effective January 01, 2006 - March 31, 2007. Based on a number of variables - the plan you enrolled in, type of coverage (individual/family), participation in program allowing you to trade leave accruals for a reduced premium, etc - you may have realized an overpayment or an underpayment of insurance premiums. If this caused an overpayment for you, you will have a refund included in your paycheck dated July 25, 2007. If this caused an underpayment, you will NOT be billed for any additional premium. Memos further describing this situation will be distributed with employees’ paychecks on July 25. If you have questions, contact Human Resources at x2507.
PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP

All workshops run from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. These workshops provide participants with a knowledge base to prevent situations and behaviors that can be perceived as harassment. It is our responsibility and expectation to have a working environment that is free from harassment, including sexual harassment. Participants will learn what constitutes harassment and how to handle it if one is either charged with harassment or is a target of harassment.
