Email from Office of Finance ( 11 Sept. 2018)

 

Dear AIT Community,

 

 

Currently, there are high volumes of cheques for the management to sign. In order to reduce this workload, payment/settlement from now on will go through salary as much as possible.
Only Requests for Travel Authorizations (RTAs) and Promissory Notes (PNs) will still be paid through cheques because these cannot wait until the payday. Settlements should be done no later than 1.5 month from the date the request was processed.

 

Presently, RRTEs and PN settlements are already reimbursed/refunded through Salary. This will extend to other Requests like Cash Purchase Summary (CPS) and other payment requests which will also be settled through salary.

 

The completed documents received at Finance Office before the 19th will be reimbursed/refunded in the current month Salary. The documents received after the 19th will be done in the next month salary.

 

This will take effect immediately.

 

Thank you for your kind consideration and understanding.

Email from Helpdesk (23 Aug. 2018)

 

 

Dear users,

 

 

Due to a new agreement between WhatsApp and Google, WhatsApp backups will no longer count against Google Drive storage quota. However, any WhatsApp backups that have not been updated in more than a year will automatically be removed from storage. This policy will go into effect for all users on November 12, 2018 though some users may see the quota benefits earlier.

 

To avoid the loss of any backups, we recommend that users manually back up WhatsApp before November 12, 2018.

 

Recommended Actions:

 

1. Confirm that your current Android WhatsApp client is backed up (https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/28000019/?category=5245251)

2. If you would like to refresh any existing backups, please manually back up your WhatsApp client before October 30, 2018
