CHANGES IN " P O L I C Y AND RULES RELATING TO COMPENSATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS OF NONACADEMIC EMPLOYEES''

Mr. McLaughlin, for the Committee on Civil Service and Employees, presented the following report.

The Director of Nonacademic Personnel, with the support of the Nonacademic Personnel Advisory Committee, recommends two changes in the "Policy and Rules Relating to Compensation and Working Conditions of Nonacademic Employees," to bring the wording and policy in line with the original intent: Section IV, Paragraph 5 now reads: "All time in excess of the units of hours constituting the work day and the work week is overtime and will be compensated at time and one-half in cash unless the local prevailing practice for this group varies from this procedure, in which case the local prevailing practice will be followed. By mutual agreement between a department. . . ." This paragraph should read: "All time in excess of the units of hours constituting the work day and the work week is overtime, and will be compensated at time and one-half in cash unless under local prevailing practice a higher rate is paid in which case the local prevailing practice will be followed. By mutual agreement between a department and an employee, an employee may work overtime with equivalent time off at straight time. . . ." Section V I I I , Paragraph 2-B now reads: "In addition to the leave provided in the preceding paragraph, each full time, permanent and continuous employee who has served for one full year is entitled to an extended disability leave of one work week for each year of service, cumulative to a total of ten work weeks, which shall be allowed to reaccumulate to this maximum through additional service after being used in part or in full. No reduction shall be made in accumulations for prior service earned before March 1, 1944." This paragraph should read the same as present paragraph, with the following addition: "Each permanent and continuous employee employed regularly on a part-time basis is entitled to such fraction of one work week with pay as is represented by the relationship between this part-time employment and the full time schedules in his classification."

Director Dickason commented on these recommendations. On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, these changes were approved and adopted. EXECUTIVE SESSION Following a recess for luncheon, the Board considered the following matters presented by and for the President of the University.
