Project Files in G Drive
It is a requirement to store KHI project files to the G drive. (Only under special circumstances are there data files requiring limited access; those decisions are determined by Administration with appropriate files saved to other drives.)
If you are currently working on project files in Teams, OneDrive/SharePoint or other locations, the Project Director should be working to ensure those files are transferred to the G drive in the appropriate project folder - G:\Projects
2021 W2s
The Paychex software has your W2 for 2021, if applicable. Go to the Paychex Flex sign-in page. The Tax Documents section of the Paycheck dashboard offers a download of a PDF document that can be saved and printed.
Tasks in Replicon
When reporting your time in Replicon, please note that most projects now have the Task-level detail that should be used. If you regularly override your timesheet each pay period, please pay attention to each project to make sure you aren’t needing to reselect the project in order to see the tasks in the drop-down feature. Otherwise, you may be entering time incorrectly.

Podcasts - Staff Favorites
During the February all-staff meeting, we presented a jamboard and asked you to use the post-it notes feature to share the titles of your favorite podcast shows. Thank you for participating in the fun! Disclaimer: This list is meant to be entertaining and not fully representative of our podcast libraries.
You’ll find the list of all entries in alphabetical order (not by category, though it’s worth mentioning that our True Crime fans were quick with the post-its!). Enjoy searching for new shows to explore.

Volunteers Needed for Meals on Wheels
KHI volunteers are still needed to deliver Meals on Wheels on the third and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The number of recipients varies but the bulk of deliveries are made in under an hour.
Did You Know: For each hour of personal time that an employee spends on performing community volunteer service, KHI will allocate, on an hour-for-hour basis, up to a maximum of eight hours of time per six-month period to community volunteer service. Use of volunteer time must be approved by the employee’s supervisor in advance in the same way that other leave requests are processed.
When Making Local Phone Calls, Dial 785
Locals in the 620 and 785 area codes must now use 10 digits when dialing out. The rationale for the move is to minimize conflicts when the Federal Communications Commission installs 988 as the three-digit speed dial code for contacting a suicide prevention hotline. The 988-area code is used as a prefix for some numbers in the 620 and 785 zones, according to the Kansas Corporation Commission. When you dial the number without the 620 or 785 area code, you will hear a message stating that the call could not be completed.
