NEOGOV Request to Attend a Conference Human Resources

2024 Annual Open Enrollment is Starting in August! E nroll, drop or change benefits August 19th – September 13th. Open enrollment is your once-a-year oppor - tunity to change your benefit elections for the coming year, unless you have a qualifying life event, such as getting married or having a child. As in previous years, when logging in to ADP on the first day of open enrollment, you will be greeted with a pop- up message asking you to start your Open Enrollment session. You will be able to review each of your elections and will be given options to keep, drop or add benefits. Join our live virtual Open Enrollment webinar on Monday, August 19th, at 9:00 a.m. Speakers will include repre - sentatives from our various benefit plans. Be on the lookout for an email from HR in August with more details about the plans and the calendar invite with the Zoom link for our Open Enrollment webinar.

The Request to Attend a Conference, Training, or Symposium form is being updated in NEOGOV! In addition to the supporting documentation for esti - mated expenses, you are now required to include justi - fication for attending the conference. This Justification is written with the aim of explaining the reasons why a request should be granted. Additionally, the new form requires approval by your Executive Director, therefore, we ask that you be con - siderate of this when submitting your request and al - low time for the approval process. How do you write Justification? Clearly state what the request is for and your inten - tions for requesting to attend the conference, training, or symposium. Explain the benefits to the parties in -

volved, includ - ing any relevant data that sup - ports your need to attend.

How long should this Justification be ? There is no length requirement for justification. How - ever, it is recommended that this should be, at least, a paragraph (3-5 sentences) that clearly state the need to attend the event. We appreciate your cooperation including this new re - quirement in NEOGOV. If you have questions or need further assistance, please reach out to Margaret Ross at ext. 110 or via email.
