SUBJECT:

Formal Review of the UCSD Implementing Procedures for the Proposed Personnel Policies for Staff Members

During the Winter of 1995, the UCSD Human Resources Department
conducted the formal review process for the Human Resources Management
Initiatives (HRMI) Proposed Personnel Policies for Staff Members.
These policies consolidated the current four-tier staff personnel
system (Staff, A&PS, MAP and Executive Program) into a single
personnel policy system. The comments received during that process
were summarized and submitted to the Office of the President in
December 1995.

In January 1996, Human Resources designed a strategy to develop
implementing procedures to augment the Proposed Personnel Policies.
The UCSD Implementing Procedures have been drafted and are now
available for formal review by the UCSD community. During the formal
review process, employees are invited and encouraged to review the
Implementing Procedures and to forward comments to Human Resources.

The UCSD Implementing Procedures are available on the Office of Policy
Development and Quality of Work/Life Home Page at: http://www-hr.ucsd.
edu/online/qwl. Then go to the section entitled documents related to
the UCSD Implementation of IMI and select UCSD Implementing Procedures
Draft, May 1996. Hard copies of the Implementing Procedures are
available at the libraries and in the Office of Policy Development and
Quality of Work/Life Division of Human Resources.

Four Open Forum sessions have been scheduled to present and discuss
the UCSD Implementing Procedures. The schedule is as follows:

  * Wednesday, June 5, 1996 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
   Marine Facilities Conference Room

  * Monday, June 10, 1996 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
   SIO/Hubbs Hall

  * Tuesday, June 11, 1996 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
   Price Center Ballroom A

  * Wednesday, June 12, 1996 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
   Medical Center/Auditorium

Focus groups, including representatives from each Vice Chancellor's area,
as well as various other Human Resources-related committees, and
representatives from staff associations, have been formed to review
the documents and provide substantive feedback.

All comments received during the formal review period will be
evaluated, and as appropriate, incorporated into the final version of
the Implementing Procedures. The final version of the new University
of California Personnel Policies for Staff Members and the UCSD
Implementing Procedures will be effective July 1, 1996.

Please send your comments by WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1996 to Jonnie Craig
at jcraig@ucsd.edu or extension 49659.
