Notify Your Team

We have created a sample template that you can modify and send from your email account.   Welcome Template:   <<Name & Salutation>>,   We are happy to announce that we will be moving to a new online time and expense system called SpringAhead! We’ll use this system to enter and approve time <and/or> expenses from any web browser.   Your username, password and link to the new site will be emailed to you in the coming days. The first time you log in you will be prompted to change your password.   Timesheets must be submitted by __ each _. We encourage you to submit time reports as soon as you finish work for the week.   Detailed instructions are available immediately on the home page when you log in.We appreciate your patience as we transition our time <and/or> expenses reporting to this new system.
