Created for CCEB documentation.

Discuss position paper for Classified Senate on transition to University Support Staff (USS)

  • Suggest that committee work/participation be considered a factor in the “above satisfactory” category of the merit component of USS pay.
    - Libraries may be exclusive group that has a lot of committee needing participation. Other University departments are too small. But we feel it should be University-wide.
    - Organizations/Departments should have the flexibility to set criteria for merit component for “meets expectation” and above
  • Suggest that a clearly written statement be instituted that makes “continuing education” of USS high priority and part of the job descriptions.
    - Dept supported workshops/conference, HR workshops, Instructional Services workshops/classes
    - KU Credit courses
  • Laura and Monica will draft a short document for our review, then to the Administration (FYI only), then to Classified Senate.
