CHANGES IN NONACADEMIC " P O L I C Y A N D R U L E S " A N D CHANGE IN " G E N E R A L RULES C O N C E R N I N G UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION A N D P R O C E D U R E "

(4) The Civil Service Merit Board has submitted to the governing board of each institution named in Section 36e of the University Civil Service Statute a resolution* recommending employee benefit policies which the Merit Board believes should be uniform among the several institutions. This resolution is an updating of the General Text Relating to Employee Benefits dated July 26, 1967. (The full text is filed with the Secretary of the Board.) The resolution was prepared by a committee appointed by the Merit Board composed of four representatives from the University Civil Service Advisory Committee and one representative from each of the university systems. In sum, the resolution recommends a higher degree of substantive uniformity in employee benefits than now exists among the institutions. Adoption of the recommendations will result at the University of Illinois in a reduction of one day in annual sick leave accrual, three additional holidays for nonacademic employees, a small reduction in the rate of vacation accrual for new short-service employees, more liberal jury duty leave provisions, reciprocity among the state institutions in tuition waivers for nonacademic employees, and a few other minor changes. In developing the committee's recommendation, the Nonacademic Personnel Advisory Committee on each campus, the University Nonacademic Employees Advisory Committee, and the University Nonacademic Personnel Advisory Committee were consulted. Prior to adoption of the resolution by the Merit Board the committee report was endorsed by the Administrative Advisory Committee to the Merit Board. In the light of the above reviews, consistent with the Resolution of the Merit Board and upon the recommendation of the Vice President and Comptroller and the University Director of Nonacademic Personnel, the following policy changes are presented to the Board for approval. (Where limited changes are proposed, added material is italicized, deleted material lined through.) 1. Increase the number of nonacademic holidays from six to nine and delegate authority to the President (who by rule will redelegate it to each Chancellor) to designate the three additional holidays which need not be the same days on all campuses. These changes also give prevailing-rate employees whose craft unions have no paid holidays in their area agreements an option of charging their holidays against their vacation. 2. Reduce by approximately one day annual sick leave accrual. (The full text showing the change is as follows:
