CLA Administrators

Attached are the materials that chairs, directors and faculty have received regarding graduate assistants filing cards for a union election. We look to you to play an important role with your chair/director in ensuring that the Maintenance of Status Quo Order is posted, that roles and responsibilities are understood during this period, and that you are a point of contact for questions to the college on this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your CLA HR Consultant (Wendy; lanex025@umn.edu or Margaret; mmy@umn.edu) or Associate Dean Alex Rothman (rothm001@umn.edu). Thank you, CLA Human Resources

Instructions:

  • Select a report from the drop down menu. A helpful report is the "Grad Job Offers with Position Details and Account Strings"

Administrative Policy Revised: Paid Medical Leave and Disability Benefits for Faculty and Academic Professional and Administrative Employees

By erinf on January 18, 2012 3:00 PM
The Administrative Policy: Paid Medical Leave and Disability Benefits for Faculty and Academic Professional and Administrative Employees has been revised. The purpose of this revision is to reflect the change in the University disability vendor. All references to The Standard have been replaced with generic disability vendor language that links to the Employee Benefits web site that contains specific information about the new vendor, Cigna. The change in vendor occurs January 1, 2012. Be sure to destroy any documents/materials referring to The Standard that you may have in print form.

In addition to this change, language has been added or edited for understanding and clarification of some current procedures/practices. Two new Q&A's have also been added. Additional information and instructions for completing a claim can be found at the link below. Please contact your CLA HR Consultant when a medical issue has arisen for any member of your department.
