| THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO HOURLY STAFF |
In the past employees would contact our office should they need to make a change to their Flexible Benefits. A new web-based program has been implemented called GaBreeze that replaces the Flex system. This system will allow you at any time to go in and view your benefits, make changes to your benefits, update beneficiaries, etc. If you are one of those employees that does not like to go to the web and update, their is a GaBreeze Benefits Center that you can call at 1-877-3GBreez (1-877-342-7339). This center is open Monday - Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm ET.
No longer will T and myself be able to assist you with making changes to your Flexible Benefits but we will be here during this initial phase to help everyone get registered in the system as well as assisting new employees to pick their benefits. This system will also be the one used each year during Open Enrollment so if you do not register now you will have to do so by Open Enrollment time October 12- November 10, 2010. You can register at www.team.georgia.gov or www.GaBreeze.ga.gov.
You will then see a Flex-GaBreeze tab at the top to click on and then click on Employee Self Service and then Log On. You will need to go through the process of setting up a user ID and password. You will be asked three (3) security questions. Please select the questions that the answers will not change. During e-Performance enrollment I was able to view your security questions but in GaBreeze I will not be able to. You will need to reset the password if you do not remember. Some of you chose during e-Performance questions such as: what is your favorite book, favorite tv show, etc. and then you did not remember the answers. Using such things as city of birth, mothers maiden name, etc. those answers do not change. Each employee will also need to update your beneficiaries in this system.
The five (5) counties doing their payroll have received your brochures for employees. I sent one copy to the other seven (7) counties. For those in Richmond Co., as we do not have enough to give each employee a copy, you can print a copy from www.team.georgia.gov on the left you will see "Employee Quick Reference Guide." Anyone needing to make changes after marriage, divorce, having a baby, etc. can call our office and a Guide will be sent as well as one given to new employees. This guide has step-by-step instructions.
Coming next month SPA will also launch Your Total Rewards which will offer online access to Total Rewards statements that provide the full picture of your benefits and compensation. The GaBreeze website does not apply to SHBP (State Health Benefit Plan.) We will continue with the paper process for changing of your health benefits other than Open Enrollment. Anyone going on a leave of absence without pay (LWOP) will also work through the Benefits Center for paying missed premiums.

====================================================================== |
If you have previously logged into Team Georgia and your password has expired or you do not remember it, you will enter your Emp. ID and click Forgot Password. It will direct you to the security questions you previously selected. You must select the same 3 security questions that you previously selected. If you don't remember the questions you selected, send me an e-mail and I will let you know what they are. Once you have your new password, always keep this available as you will always need to access Team Georgia when PMF's as well as MRF's are done. You will also access Team Georgia this coming June when we begin to write Performance Plans for the July-June 2010 Plan Year.
======================================================================
In order to prepare for the e-Performance management system to be effective July 1, 2009, every employee (not hourly) must be registered and able to access Team Georgia. If you have not already registered please do so now. Managers please assure each of your employees have registered or the system will not allow them access once performance plans are implemented.
Go to: http://team.georgia.gov and click on the Employee Self Service Tab (Be sure to turn off pop-up blocker before clicking on the link.) At the State Employee Self Service log in, enter your Employee ID in the User ID field and social security number without dashes in the password field. Create a new password, which must include one capitalized character, one special character and/or one numeric character. Select and answer three security questions. Log out, close browser and log back in using new password. (If you do not know your Employee ID, it can be found on the first page of your PMF. If you do not have a copy of your PMF, send an e-mail to T or myself and we will send that to you.
If you have previously logged in and do not remember your password, you will need to reset the password.
WHEN ATTENDING THE e-PERFORMANCE TRAINING, MANAGERS WILL NEED TO KNOW THEIR EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER AND TEAM GEORGIA PASSWORD.
