"Extra Service Stipends" Now Called "Period Activity Pay"; SEA Adobe Sign System Retired

On Thursday, Senior Vice Provost of Academic Services Greg Morris sent an email with some updates regarding how Workday will impact the processes we use for extra service compensation. In his email was a link to a Sharepoint page with details on this transition. 

We want to call your attention to two major items in the Sharepoint page:

1. The College's terminology has been changed: instead of "extra service stipend," the College will use the language "period activity pay." 
2. You may receive an email suggesting that your contract has been cancelled, but it is actually referring to the cancellation of the former SEA Adobe Sign system -- not your contract itself. From the Sharepoint page: "During this transition, please do not be alarmed when you receive notification that your SEA form has been 'cancelled.' This is simply a result of us transitioning from the old contract forms/processes in favor of new Workday uploads of your Spring 2023 extra service contract information."

Please let your FA president know if you have any questions or concerns about the content of this update.

Workday Disbursement Plan Period Clarification

Hello All, 

While reviewing your information in Workday, you may have noticed the disbursement plan period is listed as a 9-month disbursement. Some have elected for a 9-month disbursement period while others have elected for a 12-month disbursement period. HR informed the council that faculty will still receive pay over a period of 12-months if that is what they initially requested despite Workday listing a 9-month disbursement period. 

If you still continue to have concerns regarding your disbursement period plan, please reach out to AskHR@DallasCollege.edu. 

DCFA Updates

Hello All,  

The faculty council wanted to share some updates regarding the SharePoint site, the DCFA Advance Newsletter Blogspot, the DCFA site.   

 

Everything from the SharePoint site has officially been migrated to the DCFA Google Drive. The links to the meeting minutes, public calendar, and Constitution & Bylaws documents can be found in the DCFA Advance Newsletter Blogspot. Considering we have successfully migrated, the SharePoint link on the DCFA website will be deleted. The SharePoint link on the DCFA website will also be removed. If you are unable to locate a document that you used t access through the SharePoint site, please contact your campus FA President. 

 

Stacy Vasquez, the DCFA communications chair, is currently in contact with the B12 website builder. We have requested the following:  

• A blog page embedded within the website instead of using the Blogger website. 

• A page embedded within the website where we can upload meeting minutes and the Constitution & Bylaws instead of using Google Drive.  
  
  
• A calendar page embedded within the website instead of using Google Calendar.   

Our goal is to provide you with a “one stop shop” so you are not having to navigate between multiple websites.
