401K It’s open enrollment time! The Red Roof 401(k) plan allows participants to change their contributions twice a year (for a January and July effective date). Contributions can be set up as a flat dollar amount or a percentage of your pay. And while you can only make contribution changes twice a year, you can make changes to your investments at any time. This is the perfect opportunity to review your current investment allocation determine if any changes are needed.
One of the last pieces to the RRI West Transition is converting the UltiPro system so that Red Roof Franchising and Reservations will be in a separate system and RRI West and Inns will become one in their own system. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that is already happening and we are grateful to Ross Ashley for leading the charge on the RRI West side to help with this process. While there will not be much, you as GMs, need to do…
"we unfortunately will need to implement a hiring freeze, starting Thursday, December 10th thru Saturday, December 26th."
This is necessary in order to get all recruiting, benefits, and payroll pieces successfully transitioned to the new RRI West platform. A couple of notes:
We will remain with UltiPro, but the link to get there may change. We will update you accordingly as we get closer to completion date.
If you have a hiring need now… please make sure you have a position posted in UltiPro now to wrap up any hiring needs by December 10th.
Any hiring needs following the December 10th cutoff date must be discussed with HR for alternative solutions.
Thank you so much for your cooperation!
PEOPLE FIRST. We are committed to the health and wellness of every employee at all levels of the organization. While many of us may have hoped that by December we would be in a better place with regards to covid-19, we certainly have come to realize we have a long way to go. Throughout 2020 we have put many protocols and procedures in place to help minimize the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), especially at the inn level. These protocols have been built based on a variety of information and direction from the CDC (Steps To Prevent Illness), the AHLA, OSHA and our legal partners.
"Please take time to read the entire attached memo" to ensure you are up to date on what you and your teams should be doing when it comes to: PPE, Daily Health Assessments, and proper procedures when an employee does become sick. With everyone's help and personal accountability, we can successfully navigate through these unprecedented times together!
Following this week’s newsletter, we will be launching an employee acknowledgement document through UltiPro that all employees will be required to electronically sign to indicate their understanding of their responsibility in these protocols.
