Annual Sick Leave Bank election opening
Illinois State University is committed to supporting employees during times of need and continues a practice and tradition that is over 25 years old with the annual opening of the Sick Leave Bank in iPeople. The Sick Leave Bank serves as a way to alleviate the hardship caused by a serious health condition that forces an employee to take time away from work on an approved leave and for employees on approved Parental Leaves. Elections to donate will again open this year for eligible employees from April 5 through April 16. For more information on the policy and event, see our separate article here or look for our emails the week of April 1.
Academic year 2023-2024 wraps up for leadership certificate

Administrative Professional performance appraisals
Annually a performance appraisal process is designed to provide a formal opportunity for communication and feedback between a supervisor and an employee. Performance appraisals also provide an opportunity to discuss and set goals for the coming evaluation period. If you missed our recent learning session on performance management, there is also video content on giving and receiving feedback through our online partnership with LinkedIn Learning (simply search “feedback” once inside the application and look for the Illinois State University learning path). Supervisors of AP employees will be contacted via email with a reminder in the next few weeks about completing this annual evaluation.
