Whats New?

 

President Lori Varlotta announced that the Board of Regents approved a compensation increase effective Monday, August 22. The Human Resources and Payroll Department teams are working hard and fast to input and process all staff and faculty increases. All increases are effective on the same date, but will be seen in paychecks at varying pay dates. We are able to input increases for full-time faculty by their payroll on August 26th. All bi-weekly staff and adjunct faculty will see their increase on pay date September 16th and monthly paid staff on pay date September 26th. Staff and adjuncts will see a retroactive adjustment back to the August 22nd effective date. Thank you for your patience.

 
 

The Mobile Phone Policy has been officially implemented effective July 1, 2022. Eligible employees may receive a standard monthly stipend to subsidize the incremental cost of business use of their personal mobile phones. To begin the process, employees must meet with their supervisor to determine eligibility. To receive a stipend, the eligible employee must complete a Mobile Phone Stipend Request form found in the Forms & Documents page.  For more information, please review the full policy.
