SAS Holiday Volunteer Event

SAS colleagues joined together again this year for a group volunteer effort on January 3rd at Philabundance, the region’s largest hunger relief organization, at their center in South Philadelphia. Over thirty volunteers representing many areas of the School packed boxes for residents in need in the Delaware Valley this year.  

Paid Time-Off System

SAS HR appreciates your continued usage of the PTO system. The program allows schools to easily track accruals and usage for paid time off (PTO) and sick time for all full-time monthly-paid (excluding limited service) staff. Penn policy requires that supervisors track sick and PTO time balances for monthly and weekly paid staff members. While weekly-paid staff time balances are tracked in the payroll system, formerly we did not have the capacity to track monthly paid staff accruals. This system allows us to comply with Penn's policy and have an accurate record keeping system. All SAS organizations are now participating. If you have any questions about the PTO process please contact Dyan Anderson,at dyan@sas.upenn.edu.
