Stay Informed!

Human Resources (HR) strives to keep the campus community informed about benefits, employee development opportunities, classification and compensation news, payroll deadlines and updates, and any other information we think may be of interest to our faculty and staff. However, with thousands of employees to serve, we are concerned that some people may not be receiving the information. We'd like to share with you how we communicate and ask for your help in making sure you are 'in the loop'.

Communications to All Employees:

When we need to communicate to all employees, we send electronic communication to your official uark email address. Most printed materials, such as your annual Benefits Summary Statements, will be sent to your campus address. In certain situations, such as during the annual benefits enrollment period in the fall, we may also send printed materials to your home address. Your W2 is mailed to your home address. We also submit announcements to be posted in Daily Headlines.

Here's how you can make sure you stay 'in the loop' of HR-related communications:

• If you are using another email account, such as Yahoo or AOL, or your department maintains its own mail server, make sure you forward your uark email to the email address you will check frequently.
• Confirm that your home and campus addresses are correct in BASIS. You can review and make changes to your address record through the My Personal Data section in webBASIS . You will need your UARK ID and password to access webBASIS.
• Subscribe to Daily Headlines and the HR-sponsored list serv(s) that meet your informational needs.
