A Mouth-Watering Look at the Captain D’s Menu

• Wild Alaskan Salmon – Seared and served on a bed of rice (load up on those Omega 3s!)
• Lobster Bites – So good that the 6 pieces included in an order likely won’t be enough
• Creamy Lobster Scampi – Since when did Captain D’s start servings pasta dishes??

Using the Award Choice Employee Recognition Portal

• Security ID and password are needed to enter
• Written and video instructions are provided
• Support is available via email correspondence

A pat on the back is nice and all but chances are most employees prefer to be recognized for a job well done with something more TANGIBLE.  That is precisely where Terry Berry’s Award Choice portal comes into play.  Employees who have recently been recognized (perhaps for reaching a service time milestone for example) can begin the process of cashing in on their efforts by entering a name (first and last), Security ID, and password before clicking the Enter button to login to the system.  Those who plan on being recognized often (might as well assume the mentality of a real go-getter!) can click the Favorites! button located beneath the login fields to add the Award Choice portal to a list of favorites sites.  Instructions on how to place an order can be viewed by clicking the Ordering Guide link and taking a look at the available video demonstration or PDF instructions.

Placing in Order Once Inside the Award Choice Portal

• The View All Items tab can be clicked to browse the catalog of awards (happy shopping!)
• More information about an item can be learned by clicking the Product Details button
• Those who have found a suitable award can go ahead and click the Place Order button
• A brief online form must be completed to submit an order (an almost effortless task!)
• The language shown inside the portal can be changed by clicking the Language tab

It should be noted that those who choose to watch the ordering demonstration video will be directed away from the Award Choice portal to YouTube where a short clip can be viewed (it’s only about a minute long so might as well take it all in!).  Those who have lost (or flat-out never received) a Security ID or password can send an email over to support@awardchoice.com for assistance (the company name and years of service should be included within the email).  Those with corporate related questions for Terryberry can try reaching out to the company’s offices in Grand Rapids, MI.

Most would likely agree that saving on out of pocket expenses is a good thing no matter which way you slice it.  Therefore, those who rely on a medication from Novartis Pharma should be thrilled with the company’s prescription co-pay savings program that helps patient save on a variety of different prescriptions.  Access to the program can be initiated by going to the Co-Pay Novartis Pharma card activation page and selecting one of the available medications (a whopping 20 different medications are available to choose from).  Once the appropriate medication has been located within the list it can be clicked to proceed to a new page where the co-pay savings card can be downloaded and registered.  Those who want to go over the fine print associated with the savings offer can do so by scrolling to the bottom of the Co-Pay Novartis Pharma card activation page and reading the information found under the Terms & Conditions section.

A Look Into the Terms & Conditions

• The offer is only available to those with commercial insurance and a valid prescription
• Combing the offer with rebates, coupons, or other offers is not allowed (makes sense)

• The offer expires at the end of 2018 (hopefully another offer is available next year!)

Enter LCL Recognition Portal

• Password recovery assistance is provided
• Access is available in both English and French
• Bravo help desk is available for user support

One of the most important measures of an online portal is its ability to provide users with convenient self-help features.  With that being said, it’s safe to suggest that the LCL Recognition portal has no trouble measuring up to such standards.  Users who have become unable to enter an account due to a lost or forgotten password can take matters into their own hands (certainly better than leaving it in someone else’s!) by clicking the Forgot your password? link and entering a username before clicking the Submit button to begin the recovery process.  Once the password has been successfully restored it can be entered into the LCL Recognition portal along with a username before clicking the Sign In button to gain access.  Those who prefer to access the portal in a language different from the one being displayed on the screen can do so by clicking the links posted at the top right hand side of the page (English and French languages are available to choose from).

Enter My Info Meijer Employee Portal

• Access is not available at certain times of the week
• Instructions on how to make updates are provided
• Meijer corporate contact information is available

One of the nicest things about a work-related portal is its ability to be available whenever the time comes to take care of business (otherwise known as TCB!).  However, as available as most portals are, sometimes even the most flexible of the bunch still needs a little “me time”.  For instance, employees who are looking to gain access to the My Info Meijer portal between the hours of 11:15 PM EST on a Saturday and 4 AM EST on a Sunday will soon find out that the portal will NOT be available for use during these hours (it sure seems like there would be PLENTY of more interesting things to do during this specific time of the week anyways).  In addition to this brief 5 hour window of unavailability, certain links found within the Payroll menu of the system cannot be used between the hours of 4 PM EST and 11 PM EST on Mondays and between 11 AM EST on Tuesdays and 6 AM EST on Wednesdays.  Those who arrive at the My Info Meijer portal at any other time besides the previously mentioned 5 hour block on Saturday night through Sunday morning can login to an account by entering an ID along with an account password before clicking the Sign In button.

Cool Gifts Available Through the Meijer Retiree Gift Program

• Custom Woven Tapestry Throw – Not to be mistaken for a golden parachute!
• Custom Woven Tapestry Pillow – Just like the blanket but smaller and more fluffy
• Nike Golf Dri-Fit Mesh Hat – Shows the Meijer logo and amount of service years
• Core 36 Techno Lite Unlined Vest – A lightweight vest that’s in no way light on style
• Hanes Ultimate Cotton Sweatshirt – Because retirement should be VERY comfortable!

Employees who see information within the My Info Meijer portal that isn’t correct can click the Instructions link for information on how account profile updates can be made.  Immediate assistance with on the job benefits is available by calling the Meijer Rewards Service Center at 866-681-6116 between the hours of 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM EST Monday through Friday.  Those with corporate-related questions for Meijer can try reaching out to the company’s offices in Grand Rapids, MI.

Span-on Benefits

• In 2016 the company hauled in an earth-shattering $3.43 BILLION of net sales (WOW!)

Employees who have gone ahead forgotten (or perhaps just misplaced) an account password can begin by entering the username or email address associated with the account before clicking the Continue button to proceed with the recovery process.  It should be pointed out that new users will be asked to change the initial password after logging in for the first time (a very common security measure used by many employee portals).  Users with questions about an account can try getting in touch with the Snap-on Benefits Center between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM CST Monday through Friday (save those fleeting weekends for something a little more exciting!).
