It’s the end of the year and Michigan State University Human Resources has accomplished so much, but we still have so much farther to go. As a new year approaches and another one ends, MSU HR would like to say “Season’s Greetings” to all MSU faculty and staff. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a great start to the New Year! Check out this video of pictures of MSU in the winter.

Congratulations to the Walking Route Photo Contest Winners!
Walking can provide the opportunity to take great pictures of wonderful scenery. The winners of our walking contest did just that. Three MSU staff members received pedometers for pictures they submitted that were taken while traveling along some of their favorite walking routes on MSU’s campus.
MSU’s campus has many walking routes to enjoy and walking has many benefits. Find out the benefits of walking and how to locate walking routes on campus with our past article.

Take Advantage of Sick Child Care and Emergency Child Care
Family Resource Center’s (FRC) Sick Child Care brings quality care and peace of mind to MSU parents when their children are mildly ill. This service brings qualified home-care aids into your home to look after your ill child when you are unable to take time off work or school.
Each MSU family is eligible for 16 hours of subsidized sick child care per child, per fiscal year, to be used in blocks of three hours or more. If a family requres more than 16 hours of care they may call FRC for authorization to extend the hours of care provided, depending on the nature of the illness and recovery time. MSU subsidizes 70 percent of the cost, meaning Employees only need to pay $5.80 per hour for a home aide.Continue Reading… Take Advantage of Sick Child Care and Emergency Child Care
