[Plsfaculty] Very Important Information regarding your Employment Contracts for 2012

[Donna-Rae Marquez]

Hello All,

 

Each year during the summer months, you are notified by Joy or me to sign
your new employment contract "Notice of Reappointment" (the "green" sheet.)
The contract confirms your salary, funding sources, and title (s) as well as
your address plus defines the terms and conditions of your employment at the
UA.  This year the process will be a bit different.

 

As the University has been doing for the past several years, the processes
are becoming electronic or on-line.   Therefore, when your contracts are
ready to be signed.  This will be done on-line via the UAccess System in the
Self Service section where you complete your timesheets.   The signature
component will be electronic based by you accepting the contract via  the
acceptance button.

 

Once, all the reviews have been done by HR, CALS and me for your contracts,
Joy or I will release the contract electronically for your signature.  You
will receive an email notification to sign/accept the contract in the
UAccess System in the Self Service menu.  Please note  that this option in
not yet available in your UAccess and will not be until the contract is
released.

 

Also, another important fact is that you all will not  be notified at the
same time to sign/accept your contract.  We will be doing the contract
release in batches.  Therefore, do not worry if a colleague has been
notified and you have not.  You will be notified in a timely manner.

 

As for printing the contract, you will have the option to do so from
UAccess.  We will not print them for you, as your real signature will not be
acceptable - you must accept this contract electronically.  But, if you do
not want a printed copy, the system will always maintain your contracts from
here on out.   

 

Another note, this new system is only applicable for appointed personnel -
faculty, post doc, research scientist, and such. Members of the School of
Plant Sciences who are employed as Classified Staff do not have employment
contracts therefore, they will not be notified by us to sign or accept these
new contracts, as they do not have one.

 

More information will be forthcoming on this process, as the programmers are
still working on this project and forms.   

 

As always, if you have any questions regarding this matter, please let me
know.

 

Cheers

Donna-Rae
