Plan Now for a More Comfortable Retirement: Virtual Consultations Available March 4-8
The sooner you start planning for retirement, the easier it can be. If you wait, it could take much more per pay period to achieve the same goal. Let’s get started! Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation with one of our Nationwide consultants to learn more about Albemarle County’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan. Through a 457(b) plan, you can contribute to your account each pay period; invest that money so it can potentially grow into a lot more; and use tools to monitor your account and make adjustments as needed.
Appointments are set aside for ACPS employees next week, March 4-8! To schedule, scan the QR code in the flyer below or visit https://bit.ly/ACVA457. Continue reading

Default Hours for Leave Requests in Kronos
Human Resources has been working to correct an issue in Kronos that allowed employees to request leave but did not require input of hours that would subtract time from the employee’s accrued leave balance. To prevent this from happening in the future, we recently applied a fix in Kronos. Beginning Monday, January 29, 2024 (the first day of the second semester), employees who are classified as exempt will see a default number of hours populate in the “Daily Amount” column or “Length” section of the leave request for each day of leave requested: Continue reading

1095-C Forms Now Available in ADP
The 1095-C is a tax form that we are required to issue to certain employees due to Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements. Think of the 1095-C as a kind of W-2, but for benefits. It details your medical insurance coverage, including coverage for dependents who are covered under our medical plan, and documents the offer of coverage to certain eligible employees who did not elect coverage on the plan.
If you have not elected to receive paperless tax forms in ADP, your 1095-C form will be mailed to you in the next few days. If you have elected paperless forms, you will receive an automated email from ADP when your form is posted. Please follow these Instructions to view your 1095-C form: Continue reading

Human Resources has received several questions recently regarding time recording protocol for non-exempt staff. Please see the following reminders:

- If an employee is working at more than one location during their shift, the employee is expected to clock in and out from their designated work locations as appropriate.
- If an employee is working from home, the employee is expected to clock in and out from home at the start and end of their shift. (Prior supervisor approval is required for remote work.) Continue reading
benefitsFOCUS: Your pay statements may look a little different in 2024!
In an effort toward business efficiency, we’ve streamlined some behind the scenes benefits coding that will simplify the description of employee premium deductions and employer contributions that you see on your pay statements. These changes apply to medical, dental, and voluntary vision coverage. Starting this week, you will no longer see coding that refers to the name of your plan and tier of coverage. Instead, you will see a simple acknowledgement of the type of coverage you have. Continue reading
