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 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 an additional email from our UHS Training listserv indicating the additional trainings you are required to complete depending on your access and/or job duties.

Please note that due to the volume of enrollments, the Customer Service Center has already begun to enroll employees into the trainings in PeopleSoft.  This means that you may be able to view the trainings in your PASS Training Summary; however, these trainings will not be available through your UHS Online Training account until October 1, 2008.

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.
