Welcome!

Please welcome Rod Reyna-Elizondo, who joined the MSFW Outreach Program on August 18 as our newest Outreach Representative. Rod is housed at the Americus Career Center and brings over 15 years of clerical and administrative experience to the team.

Having once been a farmworker himself, Rod has a deep personal understanding of the challenges faced by the migrant and seasonal farmworker community. This background and unique understanding will help Rod connect the workers with the resources, training, and support they need.

Time & Effort Update

Submitted by Darrien Moore, Director of Grants & Finance DMoore@tcsg.edu & Annie Harp, Administrative Assistant II AHarp@tcsg.edu

Time & Effort forms are a necessary part of the WorkSource Georgia world; consider them our versions of timesheets. Several staff submit these on a bi-annual basis while others are required to submit monthly. OWD Administrative Assistant Annie Harp is collecting these for submission and several folks who fall under the "semi-annual" process have yet to submit their past due T&E forms to her. Please continue to be on the lookout for an email from Annie (AHarp@tcsg.edu) with a Time & Effort subject line; this is NOT spam!

Additionally, those on the monthly schedule should submit their July and August forms if they haven't already done so. If you are unsure which T&E applies to you and/or how to properly fill out the form(s), please contact your supervisor, Darrien or Annie. There are also simple instructional videos below. Thanks for your cooperation!
