  • HR and Payroll Office Changes

    Due to the renovation of Derryberry Auditorium, there will be some temporary office changes and limited access to HR and Payroll. Starting Monday, October 21, HR offices will be relocated to Derryberry Hall, Room 121, in the first-floor hallway. 

    Employees needing to get to the Payroll office can go to room 121 and receive assistance in gaining access.  While full HR services (e.g., benefits, I9s, Direct Deposits, W4s, etc.) will be available during this temporary relocation, space will be limited, so employees are encouraged to maximize online/digital resources. The temporary office relocation is estimated to be in place through the end of November, and communications will be sent out when the HR and Payroll offices return to their regular locations.
