Old Business:
Compensation Committee – RE: 9/10 month vacation proposal. They are wondering if the proposal has been sent up to the Administration yet. Neva has done the cover letter but council has not seen it for signatures. Marcia will get in touch with Neva to see where the proposal is at. Marcia will email the cover letters to the committee so they are aware of the contents.
Community Service/Outreach Committee – RE: GU Staff Community Service Day proposal. Where is it at? Bill Kostelec had done a cover letter and sent that to Neva in December. Marcia will cc council members with the final letter and get in touch with Neva as to where the proposal is at.
Supervisory training: Dates have been changed to 2/3-2/6/03. Keith will be traveling to Seattle with four other GU supervisors for the training. Heather Murray reported to the Compensation Committee that the training program is phenomenal and there is a six month waiting list for staff from UW to get into it.
Compensation Survey RE: Follow-up. Krystal Burns and Anne Thomas are working on a narrative from the data and are hoping to have the information to the Compensation Committee and the council by the end of the week. Keith would like to keep the results within the SAEC at this point. We will discuss the results at the next meeting.
New Business
Upcoming elections for 2003/04 & SA General meeting. We will discuss dates at our next meeting.
MEMO: Accreditation Self-Study, Standard Nine – Institutional Integrity from Wayne Powel. The committee rec’d the memo with Wayne’s comments via email from Marcia. Wayne would like the committee to read and comment on his statements. Wayne would like to be invited to an upcoming meeting. The memo will be discussed at the next meeting, and then Wayne will be invited to a later meeting.
Compensation Committee meeting with HR The committee met with Heather Murray to discuss possibilities for staff to be paid at the third quartile and the pay-for-performance proposal. Heather explained that it is not a possibility at this time and is a long term goal. Many tools have to be in place first and a revamping of the payroll system would have to happen. One tool that is in place is the employee evaluation and it still isn’t being bought into campus-wide as yet even though it is mandatory. HR is working with the supervisors that are resistant to participating in the evaluation system.
Use of Staff-L After Marcia finds out if all three proposals have been sent to the Administration (9/10 month vacation; Joint Compensation Proposal; GU Community Staff Service Day) Marcia will ask Neva to put out the three proposals on Staff-L so that the community can see what the committees have been working on. There is discussion that staff are not using the web site and have access to email and would like the information.
Meeting adjourned at 12:57.
Respectfully submitted,
Marcia Bertholf
