The State Health Plan (SHP) 2009 Annual Enrollment will be May 11th – May 29th 2009. The State Health Plan will mail to current members’ home address an enrollment kit starting on May 6th. The enrollment kit will contain benefit change information, a monthly contribution rate chart, and a BEACON Employee Self-Service (ESS) guide. http://www.osc.nc.gov/BEST/support/Benefits_SHP_Annual_Enrollment_Guide.pdf
BEACON will create the State Health Plan Annual Enrollment adjustment reason and employees can start enrollment changes in ESS on May 11th. Please visit the State Health Plan website to review changes http://statehealthplan.state.nc.us
All Timesheets must be completed weekly. Employees much complete and release (submit) timesheets by COB each Friday. Managers must approve timesheets by COB each Monday.
Commerce is considered “Positive Time” in BEACON, which means that employees need to enter all time worked and note all leave as well (just like ATLAS).
Comp time policy is being revised. There is no longer a 48-hour carry-forward cap on comp. time for non-subject FLSA employees.
Any requests for Leave Without Pay (LWOP) must have prior approval from the Division/Commission Head and the Commerce Human Resources Office.
Any changes to employee work schedules must have prior approval from the supervisor and will need to be modified in BEACON by Commerce-HR.
Monthly leave accruals will not kick-in in BEACON until the employee works half the month. This means that leave balances will change on the 16th of every month.
For any questions with BEACON, please contact BEST Shared Services
