Verify hours submitted and wait for manager’s approval.
Failure to submit a request in UKG will result in un-paid participation hours.

You signed up for an event – now what?

Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email. Make note of the email you registered with. All communications will be sent to that email only!

Prior to the event, you will receive a reminder notification.
If you are no longer able to attend the event, please cancel your sign up or contact the event captain.
At the event location, find the #SMSCgives check-in table and be sure to check in with the event captains. You’ll receive instructions from them once the event begins.
