2012 Retirement & Recognition Reception
April 25 ~ 4:30 to 7:00 pm ~ Hagerty Center
Join us as we honor our retirees, co-workers who have reached milestone employment anniversaries, and winners of the 2012 Foundation Excellence Awards! The deadline to RSVP for this event is MONDAY, APRIL 16. Please e-mail cpaul@nmc.edu or call 995-1026.
New this year: Because NMC is committed to valuing all people, the Employee Recognition Committee has recommended that beginning April 2012, all regular faculty and staff service time will include any adjunct and supplemental time that was worked prior to becoming a regular employee.
If you worked as adjunct faculty or supplemental staff before being hired into a regular position, that time will be added to your anniversary date. Service time will now include original hire date to present, minus any breaks in employment of one month or more.
For 2012, you will receive a transition gift if you have received or will receive another service award within five years. This is to avoid taxation for receiving multiple service awards within a five year period. Your next service award gift will include your added service time, and will put you back on schedule for an award every five years.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, feel free to contact Lori at 5-1143. For questions about your years of service, please contact Cheri at 5-1026.
We appreciate you and are pleased to honor all of your service to the College.
