Conversely, you have a staff position that becomes vacant it goes back to entry level. Staff Congress needs to look at that and consider whether or not we would like for our staff salaries to remain constant rather than going back to entry level. That is how we lose many employees because we go back to entry level and so many potential baby boomers that are going to be retiring and there is no way the positions on our campus can be filled with the entry level salaries. The staff positions do not get to keep vacancy credits. These are retained for other positions.
Faculty does keep the vacancy credit for that vacant position.
The Fiscal Affairs Committee was assigned to look into this. Personnel Policies and Benefits Committee were asked to look into the excess sick leave being given to the pool instead of reverting back to the University or the University buying employees sick leave upon retirement, etc. Rep. Morella requested that the By Laws be reviewed for possible changes relating to the terms of officers. Rep. B. Sammons suggested a Staff Congress web site be developed by Rep. D. Sammons with the assistance of Kathy Cox. Rep. Eldridge asked about Staff Congress minutes and who received them and when.
