Due to improved road conditions and the hard work of the ground crews in the Capitol Complex, State Offices in Shawnee County will be open as normal on Thursday, February13th. The current Declaration of Inclement Weather for Shawnee County will end at 11:59 pm tonight.

This return to normal operations applies to all State employees in Executive Branch agencies under the Governor’s jurisdiction in Shawnee County. Appointing authorities in offices located outside Shawnee County continue to have the discretion to declare Inclement Weather for those counties.

And while all offices are expected to be open tomorrow, agencies may allow employees to work remotely in instances that might necessitate it, such as continued poor road conditions, provided that staffing is sufficient for the office to be open for business, but this should be the exception rather than the rule. Likewise, agencies should be flexible with respect to slightly delayed arrival times tomorrow morning, as commute times may be impacted by conditions and increased traffic.

Please pass this information along to all employees in the agencies that you serve. Thank you.

NOTE – This decision does not include employees in the Board of Regents, Regents Institutions, the Judicial Branch, nor the Legislative Branch of Government. Their designated representatives will make a separate determination for those employees, if appropriate.

UPDATED Message to Employees Regarding Payroll Tax Deferral

Security Best Practice Reminder: Don’t fall for phishing or spoofing scams!

The Enterprise Security Office has requested that employees be reminded to be vigilant in protecting their personal information and usernames/passwords from criminals seeking to acquire sensitive information.  Criminals can and will generate e-mail messages, a practice referred to as “phishing”, that appear to be from a legitimate source and may direct employees to ‘validate’ your userid/password or direct an employee to a website that requires a username/password and looks nearly identical to actual websites the employee may use.  These criminal enterprises attempt to gain access to personal information by pretending to be employers, social web sites, government entities, financial institutions, credit card companies, etc. and tricking individuals into providing their personal username/password which then allows the criminals to access personal information.
