Here are the meeting notes and attachments from the PPS Users Group
Meeting, September 9, 2009.

 

*         Severance DOS Codes

Marianne Beckett from Labor Relations spoke about the proper use of the
DOS codes when terminating an employee.   Please refer to the DOS code
table attached.

 

*         Federal Work Study

Lora Lopez from the Career Center presented a power point presentation
addressing the hiring of students under Federal Work Study for
2009/2010.  She indicated that the students can begin looking for jobs
online starting September 7th and begin working September 21st.  She
also presented some handouts which are attached.  

 

*         Furlough/Salary Reduction

Gabe informed the group that the program for the Furlough/Salary
Reduction has been released and tested.   The installation will occur
late this week or early next week before the MO rosters are created.  He
indicated that the first group to be run on the program will be the 99
employees.    After that, the A5, K5, FX and 87 units will each be run
separately.   

                        

Cynthia Seneriz spoke briefly about START and how it relates to
Furlough/Reduction.   Please refer to the "Implementation Guidelines and
PPS Procedures".

Here is a question and answer that Cynthia provided after the meeting.

 

                                    Q.  Can probationary staff employees
participate in START?

A.  At this time, there is no indication that any exceptions can be made
to the eligibility requirements for START.  Eligibility is limited to
"All academic appointees, except those in  faculty and student academic
titles and Postdoctoral Scholars, and full- or part-time
non-probationary career ("regular status") staff.

                                

Cynthia also indicated that contract employees, although exempt from the
automatic program update, are still subject to the salary reduction.
She stated that specific instructions on how to do this have been
communicated to the Control Units.

 

Karen Hruby spoke briefly about the FEP (Faculty Exchange Program) which
is still materializing at this time.   This program allows academic
employees who are subject to the furlough program to devote extra effort
to extramurally funded projects in exchange for the furlough time they
would be accruing.   She indicated that more answers to questions would
be provided next week.     

 

Our next PPS Users Group meeting will be October 14, 2009 and our
November meeting has been changed to November 12, 2009.
