New Time & Attendance System

By /

FirstLight Health System will be moving to a new time and attendance system.  In our pursuit to collect as much data as possible to compare payrolls we are reaching out to ALL employees to ask if you are able to log into both systems for testing beginning Sunday, September 18th.   Below are the instructions for the new Time & Attendance System called CeleriClock.  You will continue to log into TimeTrak during this testing time.  We will still be utilizing ClockTrak for payroll until futher notice.

If you have any questions regarding the new Time & Attendance system CeleriClock, if you do not have the icon on a computer by Monday, September 19th, or if you would like someone to walk you through the process please contact Human Resources. 

 We look forward to this new system. One benefit of the system is you just select Punch for all log ins, outs and even if you leave the campus for lunch, remember to punch when you return from lunch too. 

 We will continue to keep you updated on the process and when our go live date with CeleriClock will be.

Thanks to these Goldie Classic volunteers!

By /

Thank you to Danna Woods, Julie Ray, Karen Renaud and Melanie Bergstadt for volunteering at the Goldie Classic Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 10th.  FirstLight hosted a game that raised money for the American Cancer Society.

The game consisted of trying to chip a ball into toilet seats or a commode for the chance to win a Yeti cooler.  Everyone who played received a ticket in the drawing.  Those who chipped a ball in a toilet received extra tickets in the drawing.  SO MUCH FUN and a great way to promote getting your colonoscopy!
