Symantec Security Suite
The new Symantec Security Suite was rolled out to bring standardization in the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware application environment for the State of Utah. The project was led by Devin Calcut. Devin did an outstanding job in bringing together an implementation team that was faced with many challenges. Previous instances of security applications had to be removed and the new Symantec application rolled out across the Enterprise. The implementation team worked diligently to carry out this difficult task. We would like to acknowledge and thank Devin and the project team listed below for the great job they did in rolling out Symantec, and in meeting the project deadline.

2009 Year End Payroll Information
Converted Sick: If you would like to "OPT OUT" of the sick leave conversion process this year, let Nancy Nelson know in writing no later than, Friday, January 8, 2010. DHRM R477-7-5 Converted Sick Leave may be accessed from the DHRM Web site.

Pre-2006 Hours Moved and Not Used: Hours previously requested to be moved from the Pre-2006 Sick/Converted Sick balance into the Post Sick/Converted Sick balance and NOT used by the end of the year, will be moved back into the Pre-2006 balances as required by FIACCT Policy 11-21.00.

Holiday Schedule
The Christmas and New Year's holidays will be handled the same as how the 24th of July holiday was handled. Click here to view the chart that explains how Friday and Saturday holidays are handled for either the 4/10 work schedule or the 5/8 schedule.
FLSA non-exempt employees who work the 4/10 schedule Monday - Thursday will need to take another day off during that same week in order to avoid accruing excess time. FLSA exempt employees need to take a day off any time during the 2-week pay period in which the holiday falls to avoid the excess time.
Employees still on the 5-eight schedule who work on Friday will get that day off, unless requested to work to cover a critical area. These employees will receive 10 hours of holiday pay for that day even though their normal schedule is an eight-hour day. This means that they will need to adjust their time by taking 2 hours off another day during the week or pay period so they record only 30 hours non-holiday for the week (FLSA non-exempt) or 70 hours non-holiday in the pay period (FLSA exempt).
You can determine if you are FLSA exempt or non-exempt by logging into the Employee Gateway. Click on My Employee Profile on the left side of the screen, then click on Assignment and look under Job & Position.
Please note that employees are not to accrue excess leave without the approval of their IT Director or Manager, not just their supervisor.
For those employees entering time into ChangePoint, please remember to enter 10 hours in the Leave-Holiday category (under Non-Project Time) on the day when holiday leave is taken.
Please contact Larene Wyss if you have any questions.
