2003 Telephone Directory forms going out with Sept. 27 paychecks

[Creation Date: 27-Sep-02]

Telephone Directory Update Forms (yellow forms) will be distributed to employees with paychecks on Sept. 27. The forms are collected and used by Telecommunication Services to publish the 2003 Faculty and Staff Telephone Directory. Anyone who does not receive a form should call 5-2171. All forms should be signed, updated if necessary, and returned to Jason Vosu, Telecommunication Services, 101 University Dr. Suite B1, by October 11.

The information shown on the Directory Forms comes from the Human Resources employee system. Employees are asked to verify the accuracy of this information and correct the following items directly on the card: work location, work phone number, home address and home phone number. Contact the Human Resources Information Center, 5-6110, for procedures on changing employee name or working title.

Email addresses ending with "umass.edu" are pre-printed on the forms. Employees who do not want their Email address published in the telephone directory may simply cross it out on the form. Keep in mind that these Email addresses are accessible through an Internet Directory Search on the University's homepage.

Directory forms also include a notation that alerts employees as to whether they have restricted their home address/phone number from being disclosed or published. Employees who have not restricted this information and wish to do so, must file a directive form with Human Resources. The form is available in PDF format online (www.umass.edu/humres/fipaform.pdf) and should be submitted by Oct. 4 to the Human Resources Information Center, 3rd floor, Whitmore Administration Building, in order to have the request reflected in the forthcoming directory.

Questions about the phone directory and directory cards should be directed to Jason Vosu, Telecommunication Services, 7-3188.
