This study was conducted by: N.M. Voices for Children, N.M. Commission on Status of Women, Human Coordinating Council, and the Lutheran Office of Governmental Ministry. Hoffman welcomes anyone who is concerned about the level of poverty in New Mexico to attend.

Medical Leave Bank Policies Explained

What is the Medical Leave Bank?

The medical leave bank is a pool of hours to which any regular employee who earns medical and/or annual leave may donate some of their accumulated leave hours. The purpose of the medical leave bank is to provide medical leave to contributors who have suffered an unplanned personal illness, injury, disability or quarantine and who have exhausted their compensatory time and medical and annual leave balances.

Who is eligible to join?

Any regular ENMU employee who earns medical and annual leave and has a current medical leave balance of at least six days (hours are prorated for part-time employees) as of July 31, 2004, is eligible to participate in the Bank.

How much do I have to contribute?

Initial contribution is three days if you work full-time; hours are prorated if you work part-time. With prior written notice, the medical leave bank committee may request additional hours from the membership if the hours in the bank fall below one day per member.

Who makes decisions on request for time from the bank?

The medical leave bank is administered by a five-member committee appointed by the President to review requests for withdrawal of medical leave from the bank.

How do I enroll?

The medical leave bank policy, enrollment and request forms are available from the office of Personnel Services, Administration Building, Room 207, or by calling the office at 562.2115. Return completed form to Personnel Services, Station 21, by Nov. 30. Members who have been in the Medical Leave Bank for 30 calendar days are eligible to apply for days from the Bank.

Note: If you are already in the Bank, additional contributions are not needed unless notified by the committee.

Clarification About Taxes on Tuition Waivers – Several employees who have a bachelor's degree have expressed a desire to sign up for a Wellness course under the tuition waiver but are turned off by the misunderstanding they have to pay taxes on the tuition waiver. Please be advised that this is no longer true due to a new admission category established over a year ago – post-baccalaureate admission. Anyone with a bachelor's degree who wants to enroll only in undergraduate courses will be admitted under post-baccalaureate admission. You will not be taxed for any tuition waiver for an undergraduate class. Also, if you are paying for an undergraduate course, you will be charged at the undergraduate, not the graduate, rate.

But please note that no one in this category can take a graduate course. If you want to take a graduate course, you have to receive graduate admission. You will be charged graduate rates for all of your courses, including undergraduate courses, and any tuition waiver will be taxable.

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)

Computing
Managing Your Recycle Bin – Last week, we introduced the Recycle Bin and its purpose and how to display how much free space you have on your hard drive. If you see that the hard drive is getting full then you will need to regularly clear files from the Recycle Bin. To do this effectively it is recommended:
1. Displaying the contents of the Recycle Bin by clicking on the View, then Details option set.
2. Sorting the contents into Date order by clicking on the Date Deleted heading.
3. To permanently delete items from the Recycle Bin, select the items older than a given date, right-click the selection, and click Delete. NOTE: The items will be permanently deleted; no recovery of the items can be done.

Outlook series – Outlook can be very handy in organizing tasks. But do you have a task that reoccurs often such as lunchtime or regular meetings? Rather than making a task everyday, you can create a reoccurring task.
1. Click on the Task icon under Outlook shortcuts.
2. To create a new task hit CTRL+N or double click on an already existing task
3. Click the Recurrence button on the toolbar.
4. A dialogue box will pop up.
5. From there you can choose how often the task occurs; daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.
6. Click OK to exit the dialogue box.
7. Click Save and Close to save the task.

DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. There are two things to look for; one is the “Virus Definitions” which should be at 4392 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.3.20. If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.
