SEAC Issues

SEAC continues to discuss issues with the administration in an attempt to better the working environment for all non bargaining unit staff members at the University of Akron. This page is designed to help both staff and administration keep track of issues that have been presented and the current understanding that SEAC has of the state of those issues.

Date Issue Generated Issue Title Issue Description Currents Status
Unknown - at least for last five years. Sick Leave Bank Sick leave bank for employees that would allow for employees to share sick leave with others who do not have any. Denied - Administration believes that it is not legal even though other institutions are doing it. A.G. Monaco (Human Resources AVP) indicated that in exigent circumstances, the board has made allowances to employees.
Summer of 06 Staff Service Awards Service Awards should be every 5 years, increasing in worth. Approved - Service awards now are given every five years.
Fall of 07 Fee Remission Update Complaints by staff members on how fee remission is applied(i.e. Legal Custody, dependent etc.) In Holding - Made informal recommendation to the president during fall 08 meeting with him that perhaps some type of discount system could be employed if fee remission is not able to be changed due to federal guidelines. Note, The Ohio Staff Council of Higher Education (quasi parent organization to SEAC) also is looking into fee remission as an issue of how to collaborate with other institutions. (I.E. Staff from UA could take classes at Kent etc.)
