Supervisors, please work with your team members to complete timesheets this week.  Employees who were unable to make it to work during their scheduled shifts or who were asked to stay home will not be docked pay for those shifts.  You should record that time as time worked under the timesheet code “ADJ80.”  

For many of you, life is starting to return to normal.  For some, the impact of Hurricane Helene will be long felt.  Employees are welcome to use showers at DPS, Maintenance, or the Custodial Hallway.  If you need to do laundry, please check with your supervisor about laundry services at the Airport.  Bring containers to fill at the airport, if you need non-potable water for home.  

We still have miscellaneous supplies donated by the aviation industry to GARAA Employees. 

•     Call the Comm Center 828-684-4577 to coordinate pickup of: bottled water, tarps, trash bags, personal care items, etc. 
•     Let us know what else you might still need on a longer-term basis.  We want to help!  You can contact us here: HR@flyavl.com.

If you borrowed a generator or chainsaw, just a reminder to please return these items when you no longer need them. 

•     Return chainsaws and generators to the Maintenance Building.
•     IMPORANT:  Do not forget to notify Janet (jburnette@flyavl.com) that you returned the item so she can mark it returned.

We are working to schedule counselors for onsite group and individual sessions next week.  Stay tuned!  In the meantime, REMOTE counseling sessions are available for you and anyone in your household by calling our employee assistance network at: 828-252-5725 or 800-454-1477. Follow the prompts to access resources and counseling through Southwest EAP. This service is free for GARAA employees. 
 

These updates are emailed, posted around the airport, and posted on the homepage of AVL’s website: https://flyavl.com/AVLEMPLOYEE.  Scroll to the very bottom of the homepage and look for “Internal Resources.”
 

We are returning to normal operations and dress code on Monday 10/14/24.  See your supervisor for your work schedule.  

If you are traveling to/from work outside of curfew times, let the officer know you work at Asheville Regional Airport and are traveling to/from work.  You should be excused from curfew restrictions while traveling for work.
