UC seeks employee comment on proposed policy amendments - Tiffany Chiao, the Daily Californian

Several amendments to a University of California employee policy were proposed by the UC Office of the President and effectively released Monday, calling for consideration of performance when making decisions regarding layoffs and time reduction. The proposed policy changes will allow employers throughout the UC to consider employees’ work performance instead of looking primarily at their seniority before making layoff decisions and will apply to non-union represented professional and support staff, managers and supervisors, according to UC spokesperson Dianne Klein. UCOP is seeking comments from employees regarding the proposed changes until Aug. 31.
