There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Georgia Tech is getting ready to launch TimeOut, a new leave management system for monthly employees. With TimeOut, employees can easily request and report time off for vacation, sick and other types of leave. Supervisory review and approval is facilitated by 24x7 web-based access, system-generated email notifications and reminders, and an intuitive, user-friendly interface.
A phased implementation approach is being used to introduce the system to the Georgia Tech community. OHR began piloting the use of this system in July, and all Campus Services departments will begin using the system in August. Effective September 1, all departments within the Administration and Finance unit (A&F) will use this new system to manage leave for monthly employees. Non-A&F departments are welcome and encouraged to "opt in" to using TimeOut beginning this fall.
You are invited to come and take a sneak peek at this new system. During this session, you will have a chance to view demonstrations of TimeOut and learn about key system functions and features. Of particular note, you will be able to examine the potential impact on your department's leave management process and learn about the ways you can begin preparing for the transition to the new system.
We hope you can join us! Two additional sessions are planned:
