Employee Information
United Way Kick Off is Here!
Are you looking for ways to give back to the community this time of year? What if you could give back all year long? Well, you’re in luck! The Wellness Committee is partnering with the Albemarle Area United Way to provide staff an opportunity to give to vetted charities through payroll deductions. Staff have the choice to give through 24 automated payroll deductions during the 2026 tax-year, or a one-time donation via check.
Packets with more information on the charities available have been sent to each department. There are several local charities you may already be supporting, and this is a way to make for a more streamlined and convenient process.
This is completely voluntary and there is absolutely no obligation to participate.
If you would like to participate, please complete a donation form (supervisors have enrollment forms) and return it to Human Resources. The first deduction will be taken from the January 7, 2026, payroll. Any questions about The United Way or the process may be directed to email Taylor Pless or call 252-232-3228 and Human Resource will be happy to help.

December Feature: “Making Time for Yourself and Your Family “
Because of the stress of a typical work week, finding time for some fun and relaxation is usually difficult. Furthermore, it may seem like making time to enjoy your life takes a lot of effort. However, finding time for yourself and your family is well worth it: The hobbies and activities we take part in together or alone often bring us great happiness and help to enrich our lives.
Why Leisure Is Important
- Physical fun, like taking an aerobics class or going on a walk with a friend, helps soothe tension and clear the mind.
- Even an hour of leisure time a day is great for the body, mind, and spirit. It helps release stress and leads to a more balanced life.
- By taking time to do things that you like to do, you are better able to have healthier and more positive relationships with those around you.

SAFE TOYS & GIFTS MONTH
This December, we’re highlighting Safe Toys and Gifts Month to raise awareness about the importance of choosing safe and age-appropriate toys and gifts, especially during the holiday season when gift-giving is at its peak.
How to Observe Safe Toys and Gifts Month
- Check Age Recommendations: Always choose toys that are appropriate for the child’s age, skill level, and interests.
- Avoid Small Parts for Young Children: For children under 3 years old, avoid toys with small parts that could pose a choking hazard.
- Inspect for Sharp Edges or Points: Ensure toys are free from sharp edges or points that could cause injuries.
- Look for Non-Toxic Materials: Choose toys made from non-toxic materials.
- Buy from Reputable Brands: Purchase toys from trusted manufacturers that comply with safety standards.
- Avoid Toys with Long Strings or Cords: These can pose strangulation risks for young children.
- Supervise Playtime: Always monitor children while they play, especially with new toys.
This month serves as a reminder to prioritize safety when selecting gifts for children. By being mindful of toy safety guidelines, you can help prevent injuries and ensure that the holiday season remains joyful and accident-free for you and your family.
