Staff turnover savings that occur when an employee leaves a job will no longer be returned to a central campus account. Instead, turnover savings will be collected and managed locally by deans or vice chancellors or department heads. Policy changes were made retroactive to last July so that campus units can take full financial advantage of the policy changes as soon as possible. In their letter to the campus community, the chancellor and provost said staff employees helped develop UC Davis into one of the nation's premier research universities. They urged others on campus to show appreciation for staff service whenever possible.
Money is important, but there are other opportunities, as well, to recognize good work.
We can achieve the brightest of futures for UC Davis, but only if we do it together, walking in partnership with the staff. Dateline UC Davis is the faculty and staff newspaper for the University of California, Davis.
