Hello Student Employees!

With the Fall semester already in full swing,

I wanted to take a moment and let you know

of the great things Student Human Resources

(SHR) is planning. Last semester we con-

ducted student employee interviews. Based

on the results, we will be working to increase

communication to all student employees,

revisit the student evaluation process, and

place a fresh focus on training.

Members from Student HR will be visiting

student staffed units monthly to update you

on Union issues and policy changes, get to

know you and your unit, and distribute this

monthly Student Newsletter. I encourage

you to get to know your SHR representative,

and don’t be afraid to ask questions or give

feedback. Student HR loves hearing your

comments, suggestions, and

IN THIS ISSUE:

The University is implementing a new Hu-

man Resource System known as “UAccess

Employee,” which will be replacing Employ-

eeLink. You will be able to use this new web-

site to find employment information, view

tax forms, and set up direct deposit. The

UAccess Employee system is scheduled to go

live during the pay period of September 21

through October 4, 2009.

Important: If you also work for a department

other than the Student Union, Residence

GOODBYE EMPLOYEE LINK - HELLO, UACCESS!or the Library, and you have received infor-

mation to enter your time through UAccess,

remember that this is only for the time you

worked at your other department. While

working at the Student Union, Residence Life,

or Library, you will continue to enter your

time through the time clock. Please talk to

your supervisor if you have any questions.

This year there have been 19 cases of the flu

at the UofA, 13 of which were cases of H1N1

- the “swine flu” that has been sweeping

national media and publicity for months. It

is expected that the flu will get worse in the

UofA community, but there are many ways

that you can help prevent it. The most im-

portant action you can take is to WASH YOUR

HANDS. Washing your hands frequently with

either soap and water or a hand sanitizer

will help prevent the spread of germs.

If you do come down with the flu, STAY

AWAY! Both professors and employers

encourage sick students to take time off in

order to rest up and feel better as quickly as

possible. Campus Health advises those who

contract the flu to stay away from campus

until at least 24 hours after the fever is gone.

Should you get the flu, e-mail your profes-

sors to let them know rather than going to

class. Your professor will let you know what

to do to keep up with your coursework. If

you live on campus, inform your RA. It is also

really important that you call out from work

should you come down with the flu.

Taking these simple actions is an enormous

step in preventing serious spread of the virus

around campus. Cheers to your good health!

Jennifer Martin is a hardworking Unions em-

ployee. She started of working at Cactus Grill,

first in the new “Whipped Cupcakes” part

of Cactus Grill, which was then transformed

into “Fro-Yo,” where she acquired her nick-

name of “Fro-Yo Queen.” She worked there

for two exciting years before transferring to

the Administration Office where she now

works as the customer service assessment

PIP. She has fun training new nion faces and

finds ways to deliver top quality customer

service. She says the union is “a great place

to make friends and meet new people—I

made some of my best friends from work.”

Jennifer was born in Phoenix and went to

Corona High School in Tempe where she

studied French and traveled there a couple

times. She is a junior Physiology major with a

minor in Chemistry. Jennifer is also a member

of the chemistry club and physiology club.

She loves organic chemistry and tutors most

of her friends. That’s not all though . . . she

wants to be a dentist when she grows up.

If there is one thing she enjoys doing most in

her spare time it’s HIKING! Jennifer also loves

cake decorating and if you ever want to give

her a sweet surprise, treat her to some carrot

cake, her very favorite. If you can’t get your

hands on any, she’ll enjoy cheesecake almost

as much. Her favorite TV shows are: Heroes,

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and So You

Think You Can Dance. Jennifer loves to travel

and her goal in life is to visit every continent

at least once, even Antarctica. So far she has

been to Europe and North America . . . two

down, five to go! ~ Piya Debnath
