Visit the HROE website to download, complete and print your signs then share your photos on social media and tag them with #TAMUfall2023 for a chance to see your length of service highlighted on our social media channels.

Distribute Your Paycheck to Multiple Accounts |
Workday functionality allows employees to distribute their paycheck across multiple bank accounts (up to five!). Review this Workday job aid for detailed instructions to set up this option.
Reminder: Employees who receive paper checks must ensure they have entered a valid mailing address in Workday (including the apartment or unit number) to avoid delays in receiving their paychecks in the mail. For detailed instructions on how to change your personal and work contact information, review this Workday job aid.

Adobe Sign: New Service for Electronic Signatures |
Texas A&M is transitioning to Adobe Sign this fall as the enterprise solution to reduce cost and simplify the digital signing process for our faculty, staff and students universitywide. Effective Nov. 1, DocuSign will no longer be available or accessible. The Technology Services project team is actively supporting existing DocuSign account holders with migrating and backing up their existing files and workflows to the new Adobe Sign platform. Instructions for completing the steps to download your DocuSign files are available online. However, if you need assistance, please contact the project team at adobe@tamu.edu.

Other private insurance holders are eligible to receive their vaccine during these clinics as well. For those without health care benefits, the flu vaccine is available at a discounted rate. The schedule and locations are now available online, and appointments are encouraged but not required.
