Update your remote work location during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 1.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, University staff members may be temporarily working remotely in locations outside of Florida. Consistent with the University’s telecommuting policy, it is important that Workday accurately reflects any changes in temporary residence as there may be local and/or state tax and other regulatory requirement implications for those working outside of Florida. The University must also be registered in states outside of Florida where employees are working, even if temporarily. Staff members who have been working in a location outside of Florida during the 2020 calendar year must provide information about their remote work arrangements. If this describes your telecommute situation, complete the Out-of-State Temporary Remote Work Form. Learn more.
Learn about Social Security benefits.
Tuesday, Dec. 8, at noon and 6 p.m.
University employees can attend a presentation by Maria Ortega, public affairs specialist with the Miami-Dade Social Security Administration Office, to learn about updates regarding Social Security, including eligibility and the steps eligible participants need to take to apply for benefits. Employees enrolled in UM’s Well ’Canes Incentives program can earn points by attending the session at noon or 6 p.m. Find more opportunities, including a session on managing holiday stress on Tuesday, Dec. 15, offered by the University’s Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
