The July 2022 institution policy distribution includes four (4) revised policies for comment.
DRAFT POLICY REVISIONS SYS 1210, Vacation, Paid Leave Banks, and Vacation Cash Payouts As part of continuing policy updates associated with the Title and Total Compensation Project, this update addresses a historic assumption that all University Staff were hourly, FLSA non-exempt employees and that all Academic Staff were salaried, FLSA exempt employees. The recent systemwide title and job description review determined that this was not the case. This policy, among others, allocated certain benefits based on employee classification that were originally intended to be based on FLSA status. These updates correct this issue for new employees hired after July 31, 2022. Existing employees who are FLSA exempt University Staff or FLSA non-exempt Academic Staff will be grandfathered under this policy and will have no changes made to their respective vacation entitlements. This policy updates the following sections in accordance with the above revision: · Section 6.B.1, Section 6.B.2, Section 6.D.1, Section 6.D.2, Section 6.E.1, Section 6.E.2, Sections 6.F. 4 and 5, Section 6.H.2 and 3. |
DRAFT POLICY REVISIONS This revision was initially introduced as an interim policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The change specifically allows employees to use sick leave for time off required to care for a minor child whose school or daycare has been closed due to exposure to a disease that has been declared to be a public health emergency. · This change adds policy section 4.C.7. |
DRAFT POLICY REVISIONS SYS 1244, Summer Prepay Deductions and Summer Session Benefits Eligibility This is a minor revision to remove references to the “TSA” benefit and replace them with references to the “SRP” benefit. This is the same 403(b) Supplemental Retirement Program, it has just been renamed internally. Additionally, this update clarifies that deductions are taken from summer earnings for Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts. These updates are to bring the policy into compliance with IRS regulations for these types of accounts. · The policy revisions appear in sections 6.C. 2 and 3. |
DRAFT POLICY REVISIONS The Title and Total Compensation Project was a comprehensive review and standardization of the job titles and job descriptions used throughout the UW System. Numerous policies have been updated as a result of the implementation of that project. This policy is being updated to reflect the updated terminology used in our title assignment process, and the updated process for title changes. · The policy has been revised in Section 4, and the entirety of section 5 of the policy has been updated to reflect current practice. |
