Agenda Item Background

Background:

Human Resource Services has initiated and continued several significant projects for the University as described below:

Recommendation:

1. Dr. James Fox, Managing Director of Fox Lawson & Associates, provided a project overview of the faculty and staff Classification and Compensation systems review project (C&C) with an address to the Faculty & Staff Spring Institute on January 6. The following day, January 7, Dr. Fox conducted three repeat sessions, each of which included the project but which also included a detailed explanation of a position description questionnaire (PDQ) that every non-faulty employee will be expected to complete. The PDQs, which provide a detailed explanation of the duties assigned to each position, will be reviewed by a minimum of two additional levels of supervision before being submitted to the Office of Human Resources. One of the January 7 sessions was recorded and has been made available via the Office of Human Resources website for individuals who may not have been able to attend one of the sessions: http://www.kysu.edu/about/divisions/financeandbusiness/humanresources/default.htm. The website will also be used to keep all employees informed of the project's progress. Completed PDQs are due to the Office of Human Resources by February 7, 2014.
2. Performance evaluations for the period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 have been received in the Office of Human Resources.
