  2. Asset Management (Inventory): Tracking and Disposal of Assets

    Mar 27, 2024

    Each year, our organization is asked to take stock (INVENTORY) of what we are managing in our offices. As a public institution responsible to our constituents, items located either in our offices or managed by them, need to be accounted for within our Workday system.

    Each office with registered assets will be receiving an email both to the previous Asset Managers within local offices, Office Coordinators and Area Leaders to complete this task.

  3. Extension Name Badge Order Process and Format Update

    Jan 29, 2024

    New Employees

    The Extension Operations team is now ordering name badges for new employees – which will be delivered to each employee’s office location by or shortly after their start date.

    Format Update

    Both new and replacement name badges will now be ordered via UniPrint, using the Extension mark. All name badges ordered after this point will use the updated format.

  4. UniPrint Ordering

    Jan 10, 2024

    The Uniprint ordering system does not communicate with Workday. You will need to simultaneously place the order through UniPrint and create the Requisition. It is helpful to have both UniPrint and Workday in two separate windows to complete this process.

    UniPrint - Go to the UniPrint website and begin your order through their online ordering form but do not ‘SUBMIT” your order in UniPrint yet:

  8. Holiday Staff Appreciation Event Guidance

    Nov 15, 2023

    OSU Extension:

    We have a max budget of $60/employee, and that maximum should take into consideration other staff appreciation events individual units may have had this year. This amount is not provided by the college, but rather the max allowable to spend from local sources. It is the recommendation of Extension Operations that we limit this to event/meal costs only and do not provide gifts to employees due to the taxable reporting requirements of doing so.
