Join Oct. 24 web chat with Human Resources VP Dwaine Duckett
October 18, 2011 •
Do you have questions about the revised staff layoff policy? Are you wondering about health care rates for 2012? Did you know that UC is expanding its family-friendly programs?
Dwaine B. Duckett, UC’s vice president for Human Resources, will answer faculty and staff questions on those and other topics Oct. 24 during a live, web-based conversation with Penny Herbert, UC staff advisor to the Regents, and Ravinder Singh, chair of the Council of UC Staff Assemblies.
This is a great opportunity for faculty and staff to talk with and ask questions of VP Duckett about a number of important employee issues. Specific items to be covered include:
- The revised staff layoff policy
- Health insurance premiums for 2012
- Future UCRP contributions
- UC’s new family-friendly programs
“With all the challenges that UC faces right now, Ravinder and I wanted to host this event to give employees a chance to talk directly with UC leadership about some of our current workplace issues,” Herbert said.
