Team,
I am sure you put in a full week of work despite the holiday on Monday. Looking ahead to our time together on March 9, our next MS work session, what scenario for our problem of practice, do we want to unpack? I will have Eric bring the scenario. Or Eric can continue with the one from last time. You can let us know by sending an email. Here is the doc from last time.
Have a great weekend, and I appreciate all that you do for our MS students! ~Juan
To Do

UKG Update
- Our Time and Leave Team continues to work on backend issues that are causing some leave accruals to be inaccurate. This issue is actively being addressed and won’t cease until the data displayed within UKG matches our paper payroll records.
- Employees are instructed to only access UKG by signing into our internal UKG link with their BLS username and password. Staff who attempt to login via the external BLS jobs link will be locked out of UKG. To be unlocked, staff will need to submit a request through the IT Web Help Desk external. BLS employees are to follow these instructions when applying for other BLS openings.
- We are in the process of updating the time-off choices with Frontline Absence Management/Aesop to match the choices within UKG. Next week, we will provide a cheat sheet to assist staff in selecting the correct drop-down option.
