Required: Read 2014-15 Staff Handbook and Sign Read Receipt

This message was emailed to staff on Aug. 19 and is being repeated here for your information. 

The Heartland AEA Staff Handbook has been updated as of July 1, 2014 and is available for all staff to read and become familiar with. All previous versions of the Staff Handbook should be discarded or archived. The handbook also contains a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Notice for staff to read. After you understand where to find the staff handbook and are able to review it along with the HIPAA notice, you are required to complete a web-based read receipt form that confirms you have reviewed both of these documents. Please DO NOT print and send this form to Human Resources. 

Once you click on the link to the web form, you will need to enter the username and password that you use to login to the Employee Dashboard. You will then be prompted to complete the read receipt form. If you do not fill out the form in a timely manner, you will receive a friendly e-mail reminder to do so. 

Note that the handbook is in PDF form as well as emagazine form and contains links directly in the document that allow you to navigate through the chapters and headings. By clicking on an entry title in the index, you'll be taken directly to that entry. The emagazine can be viewed in your web browser and the PDF can be viewed in Mac Preview or Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader will provide additional features such as the ability to highlight and keep comment notes in the document should you choose to save it locally to your computer. 

For future reference, the Staff Handbook is located on the Intranet > Human Resources > Staff Handbook.
