NuAxis Happiness Pulse Check Survey

As part of our Employee Experience (EX) efforts, feedback from you is a very important indicator for assessing team member happiness.

Our quarterly NuAxis Happiness Pulse Check Survey uses this Net Promoter Score concept. It allows us to measure and get a snapshot of NuAxis team members’ willingness to be ambassadors for the company by advocating employment here. By asking a variation of the question “On a scale of zero to ten, how likely is it that you would recommend this company as a place to work?”; we can get a good sense of team member happiness and engagement on a quarterly basis.

Please use this link to complete the one-question survey for the time period of Q1 – January through March 2024 and request your feedback by Friday, May 3rd.

To thank you all for your feedback, we will select one survey participant to receive a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

ADP Self-Service Reminder!

The self-service direct deposit feature in ADP represents a significant advancement in empowering employees to take control of their financial transactions. With this user-friendly and secure tool, employees now have the autonomy to update their direct deposit information directly within the ADP platform. Gone are the days of relying on HR or payroll administrators to make these changes manually, streamlining the process and reducing potential errors. By offering employees the ability to manage their direct deposit preferences independently, ADP not only enhances efficiency but also fosters a sense of financial ownership and responsibility among its users. This feature ensures a seamless and flexible payroll experience, granting employees the flexibility to tailor their banking arrangements to suit their individual needs while adhering to the highest standards of data protection and privacy.

Time Card Regulations

Revised Policy

NuAxis Innovations requires that each employee maintains a time record (electronic) for each pay period. This will keep a record of hours worked and ensure that paychecks are correct. All employees are required to accurately record their hours worked each day.

The hours you work in excess of 40 in one work week will be considered "extra" hours. If you hold a nonexempt position, and work extra hours, you must record all time worked in your electronic timesheet.

All overtime for non-exempt employees must be approved by NuAxis Innovations management in advance or corrective action may result. If you hold an exempt position, you are ineligible to receive compensation for extra hours worked, unless your Program/Project Manager or their corporate counterpart and the client have authorized in advance that you be paid for your extra hours on a straight-time basis. See also the Overtime Policy.
