Happy New Year! Welcome Bobby Baker to HR

The Human Resources Department welcomes Bobby Baker to our team. Bobby comes to us from the Walmart Corporate Offices in Bentonville, Arkansas, where he was a Global Organizational Effectiveness Consultant. Prior to that, he worked for United States Postal Service, Corvirtus LCC and Ernst & Young. Bobby has an undergraduate degree from Centenary College, Shreveport, Louisiana, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bobby was referred to the position at LCCC through the Wyoming Grown Program, a State of Wyoming Division of Workforce Service program that links Wyoming natives with job opportunities when they want to return to the state. Bobby returned to Wyoming to be closer to family. Please stop by HR and introduce yourself.

Congratulations to Dorothy Moen

Congratulations to Dorothy Moen, HR Benefits Specialist, for successfully passing her Society of Human Resources Managers – Certified Professional exam. Way to go Dorothy! 


Remember the Affordable Care Act?   It’s coming to you….

Organizations that employ more than 40 people (LCCC is one of these) are required to report to the IRS on the health insurance, if any offered to their full-time employees. The Form 1095-C includes information about the health insurance coverage offered to you and, if applicable, your dependents.

The law stated that employees who are covered by an employer-sponsored health plan must receive their Form 1095-C by February 1, 2016.  However, on December 28, 2016, that deadline was extended to March 31, 2016.  Because the information contained in the 1095-C is necessary for employees to file their 2015 tax return, LCCC plans on distributing the 1095-C as soon as is possible, presumably in conjunction with W-2s at the end of January.  (Form 1095-C contains information about dependent health coverage as well as employee, and we are waiting on the information we need to complete the processing from CIGNA.)

People matter...

This month we would like to highlight Carol Miyake from the Albany County Campus. Carol has worked at ACC for 24 years. Carol is the coordinator of the Student Success Center, which provides one-on-one and small group tutoring for LCCC students. Another important aspect of her job is running the Teaching and Learning Center, which prepares students for their high school equivalency exam and entrance into LCCC credit classes. Carol is very proud of her instructors and the job they do to help adult literacy. She said, “Our instructors have been very successful again this semester and it looks like we will have several ‘new’ students at LCCC in the spring and fall semesters.” Thanks Carol for what you do for our students and our Albany County Campus!
