New Way to Stay Connected – DEM Administration Updates

Human Resources, Payroll, Purchasing/Expenses, Desktop Support and Facilities are all vital to DEM staff members – and changes likely will have an impact on you. The DEM Administration Team, part of the Office of the Vice Provost, will now publish a monthly newsletter to proactively share relevant information. Who is the DEM Administration Team?  • Ann Bradshaw – DEM HR Manager • Paula Gates – DEM HR and Payroll Coordinator • Kelly Layton – DEM Financial Specialist • Jeremy Traska – Director for Administration and Chief Financial Officer What is considered ‘Administration’?  ‘Administration’ includes a wide variety of tasks and responsibilities that support DEM staff. Items include: • Recruitment • Workforce Relations • Compensation Programs • FMLA/ADA • Payroll • Benefits • Parking • Purchasing • Expense Reports Will this newsletter provide other updates for DEM? No. We purposely designed this to focus on only those items related to ‘administration’. This is not a substitute for other division-wide announcements. Is DEM Administration managing the DEM Insider?  No. We are leveraging the DEM Insider to provide content, but the DEM Insider is still managed by a cross-unit team comprised of OVPEM, OAR, RO and OSFA staff.
