Agenda for UMCC, May 26, 2010

• Overtime Eligibility Audit update – status report

  Is the IT audit already completed?  Results?  Who is next?

• Budget
• Follow-up with Pat – budget corrections have been made with OFM?
• Vacant funded positions – Amy provided two different numbers, which one is correct?  Why isn’t the funding source for each funded vacancy readily available?

• Lay-off – rumors at NWRO of administrative lay-off; confirm vacant positions eliminated


• Temporary Lay-off/furlough – vacancy rate illustrate there is no need for lay-off; updated documents developed by stewards with questions, alternatives, and mitigations (we will provide copies); still no clarity about whether federally funded workers will be exempt from furlough


• 2011-2013 Budget Process – How can we engage?  Including line staff in a meaningful way; two examples where the conversation is started with staff during program planning


• Government Reform follow up – Current thinking about reducing Ecology’s investment in middle management and WMS/EMS.

• Training needed on Position Description Forms (PDF) and Evaluation Process for all employees, managers – current process is arduous; making evaluation process functional and productive; avoiding common pitfalls

• Acknowledgements on communication efforts
• Paperless pay stub – please clarify for all that printing it out at work is okay, as we agreed.
• Ted’s regional and field office visits
