RE:      Notice of Formal Review/Employee Comment PPMS Policies 64/65/67 (Termination) and Policies 70/71 (Complaint Resolution)

Colleagues,

The University of California is proposing revisions to the following policies, which apply to staff employees in the Professional & Support Staff and Managers & Senior Professionals personnel groups:

•           PPSM 64 – Termination of Career Employees – Professional & Support Staff

•           PPSM 65 – Termination of Career Employees – Managers and Senior Professionals, Salary Grades I through VII

•           PPSM 67 – Termination of Career Employees – Managers and Senior Professionals, Salary Grades VIII and IX

•           PPSM 70 – Complaint Resolution

•           PPSM 71 – Resolution of Concerns – Managers and Senior Professionals, Salary Grades VIII and IX

The proposed revisions are intended to:

•           Consolidate the three termination policies into one policy document

•           Consolidate the two complaint resolution policies into one policy document

•           Add a job abandonment provision to the termination policy

•           Align language in the termination and complaint resolution policies with the Career Tracks classification structure

The current policies are posted at: http://policy.ucop.edu/manuals/personnel-policies-for-staff-members.html

The proposed policies are posted at: http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/tools-and services/administrators/policies/proposed/ppsm-64.pdf and http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/tools-and-services/administrators/policies/proposed/ppsm-70.pdf.

This is a formal review and employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments may submit them to Farfalla Borah by no later than Friday, April 22, 2016. 

Thank you.
