BAAF MeetingFebruary 29, 2012
BOR Ethics “Refresher” training
• We have contact persons in all UGA units who keep track of who has completed the training
• Deadline is today• Last year, BOR asked for names of individuals
who did not complete the training• Also the UGA NDAH agreement• Overall University participation as of 2/27: 73%
Grant-related reduction in force (RIF) process
• In all cases in which an employee will be separated due to loss of grant funding, HR should be contacted prior to the separation– Ideally, a minimum of 2 months prior to
separation• Senior VPs must approve all grant-related RIFs
Shared leave program
• Shared leave program was created as a pilot in 2004, designed to help employees who experience catastrophic illnesses and injuries
• Program has been adjusted over the years to meet the needs of the institution as well as the employee
• Some programs are more lenient than ours and others are more restrictive
Accrued leave
• Recent national headlines refer to state employees’ leave balances as liabilities
• At issue are rollover vacation leave amounts, plus payout upon separation
• At this time, we are not aware of any direct discussions at the Georgia state level
Health insurance benefits
• BOR changed the benefits-eligibility rules effective January 1, 2012– Full benefits eligibility: 75% time– Partial benefits eligibility: 50%-74.9% time– Non-benefits eligible: less than 50% time
• Regular, line-item budgeted positions (25% time or greater) can be combined to achieve benefits eligibility
Employee discounts
• A link to employee discounts can be found on the HR home page.
• Companies pay vendor Beneplace to be added to the UGA Extras pages. UGA does not receive compensation from these companies.
• Beneplace manages the discount site for UGA.
