We are pleased to announce the grand opening of our company's new day-care center, located on the third floor next to the lunch room. The center is open to employees' children between the ages of 2 and 5. Starting next Monday, eligible employees can drop off their youngsters at the day-care center beginning at 7 a.m., and pick them up no later than 6 p.m. The cost is $20 an hour per child, and includes lunch and snacks. For those who work part-time, half-day and drop-in options are available. Our center features six experienced teachers, and includes modern play equipment and learning materials. It has 3,000 square feet, including a main play area, a lunch room, and three separate class rooms: one for two- and three-year-olds, one for four-year-olds, and one for five-year-olds. Don't worry, moms and dads. Your children will be safe, warm, and, best of all, nearby! You are welcome to visit them on the third floor during lunch hour and work breaks.

OK, let's go over a few important details. First, do you all have your employee handbook? If you need one, go see Ms. Chambers in HR right away. Please read your handbooks, sign the form on the back page, and return those to the HR department by the end of the day Friday. Next, timesheets are to be turned in to your department manager by 5 p.m. each Friday. It's your responsibility to make sure they are filled out properly. If they aren't, your paycheck will be delayed. If you have any expense vouchers or overtime documentation sheets, paper clip - do not staple - them, to the back of your timesheet. Overtime must be pre-approved by your direct supervisor, and you have to get a documentation sheet from the supervisor before working the overtime hours. Pay days are the 15th and 30th of each month, or the closest Friday if one of those dates falls on a weekend. Finally, please note carefully company policy in regard to keeping your work stations clean and projecting a professional appearance in your personal dress.

Can I have your attention please? This is a special announcement from the front desk at Saint Marion's Hospital. We want to remind all visitors to use the east entrance door this week while the main lobby inside the west entrance door on Main Street is being repainted. The east hospital entrance is located on Border Street, and it is open each day during regular visiting hours, which are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. If you need to enter the hospital during non-visiting hours, please use the north entrance, located on First Street. The west entrance door will re-open one week from today. Thank you for your patience during this phase of our lobby improvement project.
