Logging Hours Worked by On-Campus Staff

Any employees who use Time Tracker to log hours and who are reporting to work on campus should continue to use the system. Only employees working remotely should not use the system. Supervisors will need to continue to approve weekly logs of those using the system.

Also any hourly, non-full time employees will have to clock in order to receive payment.

Effective today:

Extending the previously annouced policy, Arkansas State will cancel all nonessential events and gatherings of more than 10 people until Thursday, April 30. The previous guidance was 50 people and until April 13.
To allign with the Governor's request, all dining areas associated with food operations are closed.
