Shout out to Kristine Stapley (BGF)!
Kristy is new to our team but has hit the ground running. She has taken on projects like Civilian Fleet Chargebacks and VIT Reconciliation. She has taken over formatting and updating the VIT file to save time. She is a good addition to our team. Thank you Kristy for all you do.

Shout out to Russell Goodacre (CSDE1)!
Russell recently took on a ad-hoc project of developing an org chart for the entire OCFO. He worked diligently and intuitively to deep dive into the project and create a comprehensive product with little oversight. The OCFO has enjoyed having Russell rotate through and wish him best of luck at his next rotation.

Upcoming OHRM Employee Break Room
Work Schedules at GSA: Balancing Work and Family (Dec. 20 at 2 p.m. Eastern)
GSA has numerous work schedule options available to help balance work and family needs.
During this session, the hosts will discuss the basic principles of work schedules available at GSA. While many of us still work a "standard" schedule (i.e., 5 days, each of 8 hours), there are five different variations of "flexible" schedules and three different options of "compressed" schedules that can be chosen instead, with supervisory approval. This brief session will provide an overview of the important aspects of these three general categories of work schedules and will also include a demonstration of how to use the HR Links system (i.e., PeopleSoft ERP) to enter time, create a base schedule, and request leave or premium pay (such as overtime).
Employee Break Room session recordings, slides decks, and Q&As will be available on GSA Central for later viewing. If you need reasonable accommodation to participate in these sessions, please reach out to your servicing reasonable accommodations coordinator.
