The registration form was mailed to staff. Karin would like to make sure that the Staff Council is represented as an ex-officio member on student committees on campus because many staff are students. Susan Carkeek said that there is a process for developing a new performance review and recognition policy. There was not a policy addressing employee recognition programs on campus nor guidelines for the creation and funding of these programs other than the Gerald W. May award. Susan Carkeek wrote to Karin and asked if someone from Staff Council would be interesting in serving on a committee that will charged with researching and recommending new and innovative ways in which the committee can recognize staff on campus.
Performance evaluations are now mandatory for all staff.
Guidelines will be made available to review before the form is added to Big Red. The target date for the form and guidelines to be available is at the end of April and the review process will be for a month. Karin is meeting with the Board of Regents today and would like to point out that Staff Council has an advisory voice on these bodies. Dolores Tarin has volunteered to fill a vacant grade position. Motion to accept Dolores Tarin to fill the vacant grade position, seconded, motion carries by voice vote.
