Raise calculator, FAQ list available on HR Web site, through EBOs

The West Virginia University Board of Governors (BOG) made history this year by approving the largest pay raise for faculty and staff in recent University years - committing $26.4 million to support the salary improvement program. The increases apply to employees of the main campus (including Potomac State College and HSC's Charleston and Eastern medical divisions). Raises are effective Oct. 1, with increases appearing in Oct. 16 or 31 paychecks, depending on the employee's hiring date. In order to provide more information to employees about the raises and raise process, the Division of Human Resources has provided a classified employee raise calculator, the salary guidelines for all employee groups, the salary schedules and entry salary rates for October 1, and a list of frequently asked questions, which you can access by the links in the box to the right, under "2008 Raise Information."

For further information or for questions not answered here, contact your Expert Business Office or e-mail classcomp-hr@mail.wvu.edu.

Human Resources issues guidelines for flexible work arrangements

Division of Human Resources officials remind supervisors and employees that flexible work schedules have been permitted since 1980, with policies in place at the institutional and policy commission levels. Increased interest, especially in light of rising gasoline and transportation costs, has prompted many supervisors as well as employees to seek information on these flexible work arrangements. Therefore, the guidelines, flexible work agreement request form, and some "frequently asked questions" are now posted to the Employee Relations web site at: http://www.hr.wvu.edu/emprelations/employeerelations.cfm.

Human Resources recognizes that not all colleges, departments or work units may be able to accommodate employee requests based on operational needs, but does encourage flexibility to the extent possible when considering work-life arrangements.

For further assistance regarding various work options or the implementation of these types of schedules, contact the Employee Relations unit at 293-8168 or employeerelations@mail.wvu.edu.

This information applies to employees at all WVU campuses and divisions.

Registration FULL for '08 WVU Retirement Planning Conference

Graystone Advertising Partnership Announced

West Virginia University's Division of Human Resources has initiated a strategic partnership with Graystone Group Advertising that allows departments and units to place faculty, non-classified, FEAP and classified staff positions in any publication - print or online; nationally and internationally - by contacting one source. Graystone will then send departments a consolidated invoice which can be paid with a P-Card. This service is available to all West Virginia University hiring units at all locations across the State.

Your Rights as an Employee

Federal and West Virginia state laws require employers to post notices to employees informing them of their rights and certain mandated benefits. These notices are posted at various locations around campus. In an effort to further communicate this information, we now have links to these employee notices from the Human Resources web site at www.hr.wvu.edu/hrpostings.cfm. Many of our Human Resources policies and procedures reflect the requirements outlined in these notices.

These notices explain employee rights about topics such as equal employment opportunity (EEO), occupational safety and health, the Family medical Leave Act (FMLA), unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, the human rights act, and the rights of employees who are in the armed services among others.

Most of the links to these postings include detailed information about the specified law or regulation as well as information about the agency that oversees the specific area. For example, the West Virginia Bureau of Employment Programs Notice To Employees - Unemployment Benefits posting contains information about both full and partial unemployment benefits, eligibility requirements, the locations of unemployment claims offices, documents that you would need to bring to the claims office to file a claim, and a schedule of the amount of unemployment you would be eligible for based on your current annual salary.

If you have questions about these postings or have a question relating to your workplace, please feel free to contact the Employee Relations unit in Human Resources at 293-5700 extension 5.

Job bulletin changes

Human Resources is pleased to announce that jobs will be posted on-line to its website http://www.hr.wvu.edu/jobs on a daily basis. Previously, the on-line jobs bulletin was updated once a week.

Employment will continue to produce a hard copy jobs bulletin on Thursday of each week and all jobs will appear on at least two hard copy bulletins prior to closing.
