13. Direct Deposits
14. Direct Deposit The University of Florida currently has a direct deposit policy that requires all employees (excluding FWS students) to participate in the Direct Deposit Program as a condition of employment.
For a variety of reasons, a significant number of paper paychecks are still issued each pay cycle (approximately 1,300.)
15. Direct Deposit (continued) One of the recommendations of the UF Cost Reduction and Efficiency Task Force is that we eliminate paper payroll checks and implement pay/debit cards for those employees not enrolled in the Direct Deposit Program.
The University plans to implement this recommendation over the next 3-4 months.
16. Direct Deposit(continued) Beginning later this spring, the Direct Deposit Application Form will need to be completed and submitted as part of the hire paperwork for new employees.
A pay/debit account will be available through Wachovia Bank for those employees unable to obtain an account with a financial institution.
Current employees that are do not have a direct deposit account will be sent a letter and asked to enroll in either the direct deposit program or to obtain a pay/debit account.
17. Emergency Notification
18. Emergency Notification UF is currently working to improve our emergency response system including the collection of emergency contact data from faculty, staff, and students.
Emergency contact data collection page has been centralized and added to my.ufl.edu under My Account > Update Emergency Contact.
Directory Coordinators may add emergency contact information for employees within their department using Manage Directory Information in my.ufl.edu.
Certain information including cell phone, personal e-mail, and emergency contact person and their information is exempt from the Sunshine Law.
19. Logon to my.ufl.edu
Navigate to My Account > Update Emergency Contact
20. Emergency Notification Text messaging to business and personal cell phones has been added to our current emergency notification of e-mails, news releases, and postings to the UF webpage.
Text messaging system was tested Tuesday, January 15, 2008. A survey web site has been created for employees that are appropriately registered and did not receive the test message. http://survey.webadmin.ufl.edu/vtsurvey/entry.jsp?id=1199890842974
