| Sick of wasting paper? Now you can opt out on payday | ||
| ||
|
For cash-strapped employees, good news comes weekly or monthly on purple sheets of paper. But that may soon change. Payroll is giving employees the option to stop getting the pay advice stubs that serve as direct-deposit notices. "A lot of people don't even look at it, they just shred it when they get it," said Payroll's Ronald Pahl. "We wanted to give them the option to opt out."
Opting out is good for two reasons: it will help keep personal information secure, and it will cut down on waste. "Once in awhile someone will say they never got their paper advice and that's obviously a security issue," said Pahl. In July alone, over 4,700 advices were hand-delivered to employees in the Fermilab mail system--that amount of paper makes up half of an average-sized tree. Employees who choose not to receive advice notices will be able to monitor pay information online. A secure personal information bank, called "Self Service," lets users view their pay data, as well as benefits and other personal information, from the computer. "You can even print your old advice stubs if you decide you need them," said Pahl.
If you would like to stop receiving hard copy advices, please advise the Payroll Department by interoffice mail or e-mail. The mail stop is 110 and the e-mail address is askpayroll@fnal.gov. Be sure to provide your ID number and mail station in your correspondence.

Nature, September 14, 2006: Neutrinos make a splash in Italy A long-awaited beam of neutrinos has finally made it from Switzerland to a laboratory 730 kilometers away in central Italy. The scientists involved hope the project, first sketched out 25 years ago, will address one of the big unsolved problems in particle physics. But it may yet be upstaged by the next generation of neutrino experiments. Read More |
| Texas A&M University sponsors next USPAS | ||
In an effort to give students the opportunity to learn more about the ILC, USPAS has started to integrate multiple courses about linear colliders into their curriculum, including the upcoming school in January. "A general theme that underlies the Winter 2007 school session constitutes the physics and technology for linear colliders," said USPAS Director Bill Barletta. "We try to make sure that we have courses relevant to the linear collider at every session so that someone who is interested in participating in the ILC can get the information they need."
