RE:      Notice of Formal Review and Employee Comment Period for Staff Policy 20 - Recruitment and Promotion 

Colleagues,

The University of California is proposing revisions to Staff Policy 20 – Recruitment and Promotion, which applies to staff employees in the Professional & Support Staff and Managers & Senior Professionals personnel groups and to Senior Management Group members.

The policy has undergone full review and a systemwide workgroup with representatives from UC Irvine, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Office of the President was formed to propose revisions intended to align with these objectives:

o  Fulfill the University’s affirmative action and equal employment opportunity objectives.

o  Provide locations with flexibility where appropriate and possible.

o  Clearly state when recruitment is and is not required.

o  Allow for internal promotion without recruitment when applicable criteria are met.

o  Describe recruitment requirements by appointment type to create a clear policy structure.

The proposed policy is posted on UCnet: http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/tools-and-services/administrators/policies/proposed/ppsm-20.html

This is a formal review and employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments may submit them to Amy Arnold at amy.arnold@hr.ucsb.edu by no later than Monday, July 31, 2017.
