Eva introduced our guest speakers: Caryn Jung, MS ; Senior Coordinator; UA Life Work Connections Aging loved ones/eldercare costs more in time and money than childcare. Worklife support is there for you to talk about life cycle issues. Professional development, etc for the whole campus community. Wide range of services...personalized child care parenting consultations. Mommy Connections. Eldercare and caregiving consultations. Identify topical issues for aging loved ones (housing, transportation, meals). Linda Charlip, HR Director of Research Analysis Awareness of money for the last raise came and legislature wanted the system by which it was distributed set up right away...the experience was very stressful to all involved. Provost office convened a workgroup to standardize a system and policies for future allocations. Eligibility for salary programs would support attracting, retaining and rewarding a qualified and diverse workforce within the boundaries of financial feasibility. Employees shall be externally competitive and internally equitable and based on performance as recognized by the work unit. Money allocated for staff will stay with staff and will be complied with the set structure. If legislature gives monies without set rules this system will go into effect and will be based on merit, market and equity. Policy is that evaluations are to be done every 12 months for every employee. .i.e., compensation shall be based on performance. Looks like we may get an increase of 3% in the new year though there will also be a retirement ERE raise. Total Benefits package is 40% of your pay and should be remembered. To find out specifics check it out on the HR website. HR is interested in getting feedback about this program which the workgroup have tried to make as flexible and equitable. Any responses should be sent to Jean by the 20th. If you have comments contact charlip@email.arizona.edu II.
