Beginning in January 2018, all State Personnel System (SPS) employees are required to complete the state’s enhanced workplace harassment prevention training.
The 30-minute on-line training course, Preventing Inappropriate Behavior and Workplace Harassment (LAW1006EMP), must be completed between January 2, and March 30, 2018. Completion of workplace harassment prevention training will be an annual requirement going forward.
It is important that employees understand how harassment negatively affects the work environment for everyone and interferes with our ability to get work done. This training will help you identify appropriate and inappropriate workplace conduct and provide guidance on steps to take if you are the target of or witness harassing behavior.
Annual harassment prevention training is MANDATORY for all SPS employees.
If you work for a non-SPS agency, different requirements may apply. Your agency’s Human Resources office will be able to clarify this information for you.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires certain employers, including the State of Arizona, to offer health insurance to full-time employees and their dependents, and to provide a Form 1095-C to applicable employees. 1095-C forms for the 2016 tax year have been mailed to employees’ home addresses, so you may have already received your form, or you should receive it within the next few days.
If you have questions about your Form 1095-C, or if you believe you should have received a 1095-C but did not, please contact the Benefits Services Division at 602-542-5008 or [email protected]. For more information about the ACA, visit the Benefits Services Division at www.benefitoptions.az.gov and then click the Affordable Care Act link. Any tax related questions should be directed to your personal tax advisor.

YES is the State’s Web Based Portal that allows you as an employee the ability to view and maintain your employee data. This system can be accessed anywhere an internet connection exists – from a home computer, laptop or public computers at the library. The State of Arizona takes many precautions to ensure the data stored in YES is guarded against attacks from hackers and cyber criminals. It is your responsibility outside of the workplace to ensure the computers you are using to access YES are protected from such attacks as well. Cyber criminals employ tools such as Keyloggers which monitor the keys typed in and can easily retrieve User IDs, passwords and other information a user may not wish others to know about.
