Hey guys. So I know we’ve been super occupied (haha, pun intended) with other things recently, but there’s going to be this workshop on how to successfully navigate NYSHIP (your health insurance if you’re a doctoral student at the GC) next Thursday 12/8 @ 2pm. I know this sounds boring, but we’re trying to make it useful and exciting–kind of like a “skill share”!

Good afternoon fellow adjuncts! With the spring 2011 semester upon us, it is sad but true that some of us might receive our first paycheck (Feb 10) late. As something that is the norm rather than the exception, many adjuncts and others do not receive their checks on time. Below is a short guideline that one should follow if they do not receive a check on time: 1.

If paperwork has been submitted to H.R. follow-up with them to make sure all of your paperwork has been processed and submitted on time. 3.
