Summer Hours, Fall Break & Energy Savings Days Fall Break has been extended so that faculty & staff have Friday, October 1 as a holiday. In addition, faculty have Thursday, September 30 as a holiday. Also, 3 days of holiday time off have been arranged for the 2010 Christmas holidays. Called "Energy Savings Days," these are not a change in policy and they may not be implemented in future years. See the full list of holidays and details regarding summer hours here. Non-Exempt Compensation Study The basic findings and actions that will be undertaken are summarized below:
Informational meetings will be held during the months ahead to explain features of the new plan. A Clarification on Leave Reporting for Exempt Employees (Primarily Faculty) on Less Than 12 Month Contracts All exempt employees (including faculty members) who work a portion of a month must submit a leave report for that month. For example, faculty members who work May 1-15 must submit a leave report for the month of May. If a faculty member is not contracted to work in his or her primary job in June or July, then no leave report submission is required for June and July. Leave reports should not be completed for work outside of the normal primary contract (e.g., Nine-month faculty members should not report leave time for summer school, grant work, or special projects) Adjuncts never report leave time. Leave reports may be submitted to approvers prior to the end of the month provided that no work time remains to be fulfilled under a contract; e.g., faculty members may submit leave reports anytime after May 15 and before June 5, the deadline date to submit reports to approvers for the month of May. Approval deadline dates are on Procedures Central under “Payroll Calendar 2010 for Monthly Employees.” FSA Reimbursement Bike to Work Week is May 17-21
Administrative Notes Hiring of International Employees The Federal government has revised the process for handling newly hired employees. The normal length of time for processing is now 26 weeks for an H-1B visa (which is the common work visa for persons working at MSU). An expedited H-1B visa requires only 15 weeks and an extra $1,000, in addition to the $820 filing fee. The prevailing wage certification process requires 60 days in addition to the above-mentioned deadline. All newly hired temporary employees must complete the W-4, K-4, I-9 and other forms found in http://www.murraystate.edu/human_resources/Temp%20instructions.pdf. This link is on the HR website under Procedures for Temporary Employees on the Hiring Procedures and Forms page.
