Just Around the Corner - FY09 Mandatory Training


It’s almost that time of year again…Annual Mandatory Training is fast approaching, and this year we can’t wait to show off some of the changes we’ve implemented based the feedback we received from you last year. The first noticeable change is that mandatory training is beginning in October (as opposed to last year’s September go live date) to avoid the new year rush.

The next thing you’ll notice is that all employees will receive one initial notification email
October 1st from the Faculty and Staff listservs to indicate that the four mandatory-for-all
trainings listed below are available online (as opposed to multiple emails from PeopleSoft).

This year the following trainings must be completed by all university employees (this includes faculty, staff, student workers, and temporary employees paid through the payroll system):
 
COURSE CODE NAME
H09001 Secure Our Systems
F09002 FERPA Training
F09037 Code of Ethics
F09024 Fraud Awareness

All full-time faculty, all exempt staff, and non-exempt staff with purchasing responsibilities will be required to complete the F09028 – External Consulting & Related Party Disclosure form as well.

If you are required to complete any Finance Role-Based training you will receive another email from our UHS Training listserv indicating the additional trainings you are required to complete depending on your access and/or job duties. The following Annual Mandatory Finance Role-Based trainings will be available October 1st:

COURSE CODE NAME
F09015 Petty Cash & Change Fund Custodians
F09016 Procurement Card Cardholder
F09017 Procurement Card Business Office
F09018 Travel Card Cardholder
F09019 Travel Card Business Office
F09033 Credit Card Processing
F09034 Credit Card Accounting
F09035 Credit Card Data Security
F09038 Cash Security Procedures
F09039 Cash Deposit & Security Procedures

If a new employee needs to complete any of the Finance Role-Based trainings listed above prior to October 1st, so that they may gain necessary access or perform necessary job duties, please contact the Customer Service Center at 713-743-3988 to make arrangements.

All mandatory trainings must be completed by December 31, 2008. Future merit eligibility and other related privileges or access may be withheld unless training is completed. Information on training completion will be provided on a weekly basis to the college/division administrators and monthly to the division vice president. If you have questions about mandatory training, please contact the Customer Service Center at 713.743.3988.
