Employee Information
Give with the United Way
The Wellness Committee is excited to partner with the Albemarle Area United Way to offer staff an opportunity to give back to the community. After the month of gratitude we celebrated in November, December is the perfect time to “give back” and make a difference!
According to TalkSpace.com, giving has positive physical and mental benefits, and we encourage you to take part in this wonderful opportunity.
Why the United Way?
The United Way is a trusted partner, providing a streamlined way to donate to vetted local charities. Through payroll deductions, staff can choose to contribute via 24 automated deductions for the 2025 tax year, or make a one-time donation by check.
Packets with more information about the available charities will be distributed to each department. Many of these are local organizations you may already support, and this process makes giving even easier and more convenient.
Participation is completely voluntary—there is absolutely no obligation to participate.
If you would like to donate, please complete a donation form and return it to HR by noon on Tuesday, December 31, 2024. The first deduction will appear in the January 8, 2025 payroll.
If you have any questions about the United Way or the process, HR is here to help.

January Feature: “Want to Fight I.D. Theft? Be Careful How You Treat Your Information in the
Real and Virtual Worlds”
Real and Virtual Worlds”
Foiling I.D. theft is no longer just a matter of buying a document shredder and keeping track of your receipts – though it helps.
I.D. theft evolves every day and according to security experts, net-savvy thieves are getting more efficient about blending their illegal activity on the ground and online. Here are some examples from Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), a non-profit group focusing on the latest I.D. theft trends and assistance for victims:
I.D. thieves are stealing more paper checks being delivered to homes. Why? Because with the credit squeeze, there are fewer people being approved for checking accounts, so physical checks left in mailboxes are being swiped more frequently so the account numbers can be used to open fraudulent accounts under different names.
