Reminders, deadlines, events and Shocker Blast Reminders, deadlines, events and Shocker Blast

* The Office of Human Resources continues to streamline its processes. As a part of this effort, a change has been made to the PeopleAdmin (PA) approval workflows. This recent enhancement to PA workflows transfers the FLSA approver (Sarah Hunter) and HRIS Reviewer approver (Dana Hess) ahead of the Budget Officer/Principal Investigator. This will enable all editing to be done up front and will speed up the approval process to better serve the university on Requests to Fill and Hiring Proposals. All other approvals remain as they were. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?5234 for more information.

* The WSU Red Cross Club will host a blood drive from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. today (Monday, Nov. 28) and Tuesday, Nov. 29, in Shirley Beggs Ballroom, third floor, RSC.
