* After a two month hiatus, the Office of Human Resources will present this summer's Wage & Hour Training class from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Thursday, July 16, in 266 RSC. This class is designed for supervisors and is highly beneficial for timekeepers, but anyone is encouraged to attend. If you approve or input timesheets, knowing the laws and policies is imperative. Learn about the law, WSU policies and some best practices.
* Because of the recent Supreme Court ruling, the Kansas State Employee Health Plan (SEHP) is now allowing same-sex marriage partners and eligible children to be added to employee's health insurance. All requests, due to this change, will be effective Saturday, Aug. 1. Contact either Kim Cinelli at kim.cinelli@wichita.edu or 978-6121, or Micah Thompson at micah.thompson@wichita.edu or 978-3079, for information on how to apply. For marriages that occur in the future, coverage for dependents will continue to be effective the first of the following month.
