Karen - Jose promoted to SR CSC, starting at Stella 1/19.  Welcome Chris Benson, our new PT CSC, starting at Kendall 1/19!  I interviewed candidates for FT CSC opening on 1/19.

Shanti - updates from Youth Services meeting: SRP planning is underway.  Every branch is submitting their choice of paid programs by the end of the month, then we'll be able to decide on our own library specific programs to offer.  Sports-oriented theme (Olympics).

Karen - Saturday we took a section of adult non-fiction and shelved it correctly.  Common problems: shelving from left to right as opposed to right to left.  We should watch the transitions from top to bottom of the next shelf to make sure they are continually in order; constant flow.

Alice - IRS tax forms: the instructions for the 1040 will be coming in Friday.  They will be reference only use; people can make copies.  We do not know when we will be getting any forms.  We can direct people to www.irs.gov.  AARP tax help will be here starting February 3rd.

Lauren - Kronos review!  Use HPL Intranet to find links to both the Quick Timestamp and the full-service log in.

- With the full-service log in you should be able to monitor your punches on a daily basis or at least once a week.  Email any incorrect or missing punches to Karen or Lauren (depending on who approves your timecards).  Use the "request time off" button in this view to make any requests for vacation or sick days.

- When submitting a time off request, make sure you select the correct date, the correct pay code, and specify any hours if you aren't taking a full or half day.  Use the notes section to further clarify.

- Please consider the available tardy or absence comments when justifying a tardy or an absence.  Karen and Lauren can not manually go in and record the exact reason, so review the approved comments and email us with a justification for an absence or tardy.
