Non-represented staff to receive cash award

Non-represented staff employees will receive a $475 award this year, Willeen McQuitta, director of Staff Human Resources, announced in a memo posted June 8. The award, which is part of the 2005-06 Staff Recognition and Development Program, will be given to all eligible staff on June 16.

The memo outlined the eligibility criteria:

• Employees are in title codes that are not exclusively represented.

• Employees with career, partial-year career, by agreement, and limited appointments will receive the award based on their distribution percent time in the Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) in effect on June 1, 2006.

• Awards for part-time employees will be prorated, based on the employee's distribution percent. The minimum award will be $100.

• Employees must be on pay status for the period between January 1, 2006 and April 30, 2006 and must have received gross pay during this period.

• Employees must be active in the PPS (or on leave with or without pay) on June 1, 2006.

• Employees with academic, student, or senior management appointments are ineligible for the award.
