This new version features an updated, user-friendly interface and can be used to create "what if" scenarios with your paycheck. For example, you could simulate different withholding amounts, adjust retirement contributions and more. The new Paycheck Simulator is available as a tile on the Employee and Faculty pages of Hornet 365. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Help Desk.

Beginning Tuesday, April 25, the fleet vehicle reservation system, CARS, will be updated to a new version. This refreshed release will include a new look and a modern interface with intuitive and easy-to-use screens. To access CARS, visit Hornet 365, select Employees and then select the CARS tile. This link will provide a new landing page with how-to guides and documentation. The CARS application will continue to require roles as outlined in the user guides to check out a vehicle. If you had that role in the previous system, you will continue to have the same role in the new system. After a car is assigned to an individual, that individual can visit the portal to see key information about the car (ex. description of car, license plate, check out dates, etc.) If you have questions about the reservation service itself, please contact Stormont Maintenance (620-341-5331). If you have questions about the CARS web application, please contact the IT Help Desk. IT is excited to partner with the Stormont Maintenance Center to bring this new, modern experience to our users and look forward to your feedback.

SkyPrint services are back online! Thank you for your patience as our technicians completed the emergency maintenance.
