State law change brings about updated vacancy posting procedures
The State of Illinois has made a change to the Equal Pay Act, which impacts the manner in which we post career opportunities at ISU, regardless of employment type. Several aspects of the Act are changing but, most relevant to hiring officials on campus will be the addition of pay transparency, a general description of the expected benefits offered with each position, along with meaningful expected compensation information. Additional information will be distributed directly via email/memo to deans, directors, and department heads prior to December 1 (when changes are expected to take place).
Updated procedural information about rehiring of SURS Annuitants
As a reminder of information distributed earlier this fall/late summer, employees who retire from the University will need to wait to return until at least 26 weeks following their retirement beginning December 31, 2024. Updates to Policy 3.1.28 (Hiring and Employment of SURS Annuitants) are expected to be made prior to December 31, 2024, to reflect this upcoming change.
iPeople Additional Pay Process additional change
iPeople’s online form for additional payments (generally for one-time projects, relocation, or awards) continues to evolve in support of multiple efforts on campus. Communication went out to deans, directors, department heads, and lead staff across the University with information about changes to the pay process last month, and additional changes are being made to support the efforts of the RISE campaign. As changes are made to include vice presidential approval and/or other routing changes, they will be updated on the HR website. The policy on “employment in excess of full-time appointment” can be found on our online policy page under 3.2.11.
Interested in giving a colleague a compliment?
Knowing that the nominations are being sought for several awards currently (Strand Diversity Achievement Award, Administrative/Professional and Civil Service Distinguished Service Awards, etc.), we recognize that there are times when praise of every day work can be appreciated outside of a ceremony. If you are interested in giving a “compliment” to a faculty or staff member (anonymously is an option), please complete the form. The deadline for all nominations for major awards is Friday, November 22, at 4:30 p.m., but the compliment page will remain open through fall. Praise and kind words will be passed along to fellow faculty/staff throughout the season and as appropriate!
