If you have any questions or comments, contact David Sheppard, x5814. Once upgraded, the Time Collection/Employee Self Service system will feature a new look. The sign-on procedure is the same as before, and there have been no significant changes to the timesheet and ESS functions. Maintaining employee work schedules has changed, so an email explaining the differences between the old system and the new system will be sent out to those affected by this change. If you have any questions about the upgraded system, use the Contact Us link in the TC/ESS system, and someone will assist in resolving your issue.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Volunteers Needed for May 19 JLab Open House</font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">JLab's Open House is just around the corner, and this year's event, themed "Passport to Science," will be bigger than ever.
