Yale New Haven Hospital will officially welcome its new food services management team from Sodexo Healthcare over the next few weeks. As the hospital prepares for the transition to a new vendor, employees currently using payroll deduction or voluntary funds as part of their meal payment service should be aware of important changes to the program.
Employees using voluntary funds placed on their declining balance meal plan need to spend down the balance remaining in their accounts – by June 17 for meal services at the York Street Campus and by June 30 for the Saint Raphael Campus. Changes in systems software and vendor accounting during the transition require self-funded balances to be used before these dates.
Employees who want to continue using payroll deduction to purchase items in the cafeterias will need to sign up for a new program any time after July 2. With the new program, called My Quickcharge, employees use their ID badges to pay for cafeteria purchases; costs are automatically deducted from their next paycheck. A mobile app makes it easy to review purchases or check your balance. Employees using payroll deduction receive the largest discount – 15 percent – off cafeteria purchases.
There are two ways to sign up for payroll deduction through My Quickcharge: Download the mobile app or set up your account from a computer:
The application will have functionality for payroll deduction to set up your account, accept usage and allow you to view all charges and history.
