treehouse.drew.edu launched its pilot on August 15th, in the form of the new employee tab on what you're used to as drew.edu/home. It combines content from CampusWeb and the former employees tab with new functionality brought to us by the Drew 360 project. Student & Faculty specific tabs are in development, so if you'd like to be involved in the focus group, please let us know. This is just a first step; much more personalized content is on the way as the project progresses, so stay tuned!
Banner Changes for HR
by Deborah Raikes-Colbert, taken from HR News 9 August 2011 and 2 September 2011
Since last fall, HR has been involved in training and preparation for the implementation of Banner, the new administrative system that is replacing Aims. Banner will maintain employment, salary and benefit information for all current faculty, staff and students, and will be used to issue all paychecks. The new system is scheduled to “go live” on January 1, 2012.
As part of the implementation process, we are in the process of auditing EVERY aspect of pay and benefits for all full and part-time faculty and staff. As a result, we are discovering discrepancies in vacation accruals and/or benefits enrollment for some individuals. We will contact affected individuals to advise of the error(s) and the correction as soon as possible.
As with all new systems, there will be changes to how we manage information and data. Banner has a number of new features that we will utilize—as well as some limitations—and starting today we will share with you the changes that may affect your paycheck, benefits, and/or related information. We want to alert you to these changes now so that you can begin to plan for any changes that may impact how you manage your personal finances.

Effective with the first paychecks issued in January, 2012, a number of changes are being made. \[Please refer to your August issue of HR News for these details.] |

+Monthly Time Reporting.+ Monthly paid staff will be required to report time used in one month no later than the end of the following month (e.g., time taken in September must be reported before October 31). You will no longer be able to report time used later in the year. Now would be a good time to review your monthly time reports to ensure that you are up to date. Once we move to Banner \[on January 1, 2012], you will not be able to go back to correct and/or update time taken before December 31, 2011. |
