September 14, 2001 Report To Faculty Representative
Assembly
The personnel and benefits committee met on September
11, 2001. This was not our usual date which made it impossible for representatives from
Business and Engineering to attend. Present were Dave Bravo from central payroll and
benefits services, Catherine Mundy, Al Ramirez, and Don Morley. All action items were
tabled until our regularly scheduled meeting on October 2, 2001. Dave Bravo did report
that the UCCS campus would have its own benefits officer. The position would be classified
staff. Details of the job description were
written by Ed Paris in consultation with faculty governance. Reporting would be a split 50/50 between
Dave Bravo and Ed Paris. The position would later report to Dave Bravo and the Associate
Vice Chancellor of Human and Public Resources once one has been hired. Target date from
bringing the benefits officer on board is mid October.
Open enrollment will start October 22. Five sessions
have been planned. Times and dates to be announced.
The Governor has announced restrictions on payroll
deductions for all state employees. These restrictions appear to preclude such deductions
as union dues and donations made outside of the Colorado Combined Campaign.
