WELCOME NEW SENATOR:
Charlton welcomed Denise Ooley from HR/Payroll as a new senator on the Ace Senate.
CEC FEEDBACK & PROGRESS:
The two meetings with ACE employees about the BSU
Classified Employee Compensation policy were discussed. ACE VP Clarkson states,
“ It is time for the Classified Compensation Policy to
be updated. There are some
administrators on campus who feel there should be much more flexibility by
departments in offering starting wages to new employees with suggestions
ranging from 10-15% above the minimum without significant justification. The concern of the ACE Senate is the inequity
this will create with those currently employed.
The other area with the biggest suggested change is in the promotion
policy which would determine the amount of pay increase someone would receive
if they promoted from one position to another on campus.”
