Click on wlwt.com today for our home page takeover
We have been working with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Cincinnati Public Schools for several months on some joint messaging to help families that are struggling with covid stress.

Today you can see two of the campaign ads for Safe and Sound @ Home Cincinnati on the front page of Channel 5/WLWT's home page - it's called a homepage takeover.

Read more about the campaign here and please share the messaging on your social media.

Use any personal days before they're gone
A reminder: Use your personal days so you don't lose them.

Exempt/non bargaining staff have the opportunity to earn and use personal days as follows:

Earn May 1 (for not using sick time Jan. 1 – Apr. 30) use or forfeit by Aug 31
Earn Sept. 1 (for not using sick time May 1 – Aug. 31) use or forfeit by Dec 31
Earn Jan. 1 (for not using sick time Sept. 1 – Dec. 31) use or forfeit by Apr 30

Check your balances in Paycor to make sure you know what you have and when you have to use them.
