HR Newsletter – February 2020

UltiPro Newsletter

UltiPro Updates

Dear Colleagues,

As we approach the official launch date of UltiPro, Human Resources would like you to know about some of the training tools available on our HR webpage.

At the top of the page, you can access a short video. Here, you will learn how to log in, find your personal Smart and Classic Dashboard, and navigate through a few of the features.

Next, you are encouraged to take a look at the slide show, Entering Time and Time Off in UltiPro. With this multimedia tool, you can review how to log in to the UltiPro portal. You will learn, step-by-step how to enter time, schedule time off, access and update personal information, locate emergency contacts and beneficiary information, and even view the new digital employee directory--all in one place.

Feel free to explore UltiPro! However, don't be alarmed if your vacation, sick time, and personal time off balances are incorrect. This will change when we officially launch. In the meantime, take a few minutes to explore the training tools and the UltiPro self-service features. If you have not already, download the UltiPro Mobile App! Instructions are on the HR webpage and on your personal Smart Dashboard.

In closing we want to thank the employees in the departments that have already signed in and trained on UltiPro: Marketing & Public Relations, Student Support Services, Dining Services, Library staff, and the Wellness Center. We are excited about UltiPro and here to assist in any way we can.

If you would like to schedule training for your department, contact Ginger Decoteau at ext. 7827 or ginger.decoteau@occc.edu.

New 2020 W-4 Form: Employee’s Withholding Certificate

On December 5, the IRS issued the redesigned 2020 Form W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Certificate). The new form no longer uses withholding allowances. Instead, there is a five-step process and new Publication 15-T (Federal Income Tax Withholding Methods) for determining employee withholding. For additional information regarding this process, review the publication at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15t.pdf.
