Dries 2013-04-10T14:54:00Z The official university office hours for the summer will begin Monday, May 20, 2013, and continue through Friday, August 16, 2013. University office hours will be from 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (0800 to 1200 and 1300 to 1600). Employees are required to work 7.5 hours each work day.

To ensure proper payroll administration, it is imperative that the Payroll Office has every employee’s work schedule accurately recorded. The standard work schedule for office employees is 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (0800 to 1630). If you opt to change your work schedule this summer to leave at 4:00 p.m. (1600), the Summer Hours Non-AFSCME 2013 form must be completed and returned to the Office of Human Resources. To aid in a smooth transition of summer hours, please return the form by Friday, April 26, 2013. Note: AFSCME employees and supervisors have received notification regarding the Summer 2013 Alternate Work Schedule for AFSCME Employees. The AFSCME Alternate Work Schedule form was to be completed and submitted to the Office of Human Resources by April 1, 2013.

This is a voluntary summer work schedule for those employees who, with the approval of their supervisors, choose to work an alternate schedule during the summer months. Employees may choose to work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (0800 to1600) with a half-hour lunch between noon and 1:00 p.m. (1200 and 1300) and regularly scheduled breaks. Employees who do not wish to change their present schedules may maintain the 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (0800 to 1630) work schedule with a one-hour lunch period and regularly scheduled breaks.

Some areas are exempt from the voluntary work schedule due to the nature of the work. Employees who work in those exempt areas will not be able to participate in the voluntary summer work schedule. Exempt areas are listed in the Summer Office Hours Guidelines, Section 5, (b).

The Office of Human Resources will be happy to answer questions about the voluntary summer work schedule and the change in the official university business hours. Please call Diane Donahue, Employee Relations director, at 724-357-2431 if you have any questions or need further information.

Kostryk 2013-02-28T14:54:00Z The Office of Human Resources has provided the following information to explain procedures during periods of inclement weather:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Therefore, the decision as to whether university classes or programs and events will be held during periods of adverse weather conditions is based on the overall concern for the university community.

There is an important distinction between the decision to cancel classes and the decision to close the university. When classes are canceled, staff, managers, administrators, and faculty members whose responsibilities lie outside the classroom are expected to report to work. Employees choosing not to report to work when classes are canceled will be charged paid leave time—either annual, personal leave, or leave without pay—and must submit leave.

The president has the authority to close the university. The decision to close the university will be made only under the most extreme circumstances. If the decision is made to close the university, only essential employees will be required to report to work. Essential employees for 2012–2013 have been notified.

Information about the status of the university is always available on the IUP website and a link to the Emergency Information page is located at the bottom of every page.

In the event of cancellation of classes or events, or closure of the university, a notification will be provided via the list below. For more detailed information, employees should go to the IUP website or call 724-357-7538.

Kostryk 2012-09-28T14:54:00Z The Office of Human Resources has provided the following information to explain procedures during periods of inclement weather:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Therefore, the decision as to whether university classes or programs and events will be held during periods of adverse weather conditions is based on the overall concern for the university community.

There is an important distinction between the decision to cancel classes and the decision to close the university. When classes are canceled, staff, managers, administrators, and faculty members whose responsibilities lie outside the classroom are expected to report to work. Employees choosing not to report to work when classes are canceled will be charged paid leave time—either annual, personal leave, or leave without pay—and must submit leave.

The president has the authority to close the university. The decision to close the university will be made only under the most extreme circumstances. If the decision is made to close the university, only essential employees will be required to report to work. Essential employees for 2012–2013 have been notified.

In the event of cancellation of classes or events, or closure of the university, a brief notification will be provided via the television and radio stations listed below. For more detailed information, employees should go to the IUP website or call 724-357-7538.

]]> IUP’s Sexual Harassment Policy–Annual Notice http://www.iup.edu/newsItem.aspx?id=133554&blogid=4523&utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=news Ms. Jennifer L. Kostryk 2012-09-17T14:54:00Z In order for our university community to thrive, we must embrace a code of conduct which ensures civility and respect for every individual.

The IUP Sexual Harassment Policy is provided to members of the university community to underline the university’s commitment to a work and learning environment that is free from sexual harassment and sexual violence. Sexual harassment is a violation of federal and state law, a violation of university policy, and a violation of basic human rights. It is inconsistent with the purpose and principles of an academic community and will not be tolerated at IUP.

It is the responsibility of all students, managers, administrators, faculty, staff and vendors to adhere to the university’s Sexual Harassment Policy. The policy provides procedures for reporting complaints of sexual harassment. Complainants should be assured that their concerns will be treated with appropriate confidentiality and that they are protected from retaliation based on their reports of incidents. Reports of sexual assault and other crimes should be directed to the Office of Public Safety regardless of whether it is also reported as sexual harassment. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1982 prohibits discrimination based on sex. Dr. Rhonda Luckey, vice president for student affairs, is the university’s Title IX coordinator.

Please take time to review the university’s Sexual Harassment Policy and become familiar with it. If you have any questions, please contact Helen Kennedy at (724) 357-4872 or hkennedy@iup.edu.

Dries 2012-04-10T14:54:00Z The official university office hours for the summer will begin Monday, May 14, 2012, and continue through Friday, August 17, 2012. University office hours will be from 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (0800 to 1200 and 1300 to 1600). Employees are required to work 7.5 hours each work day.

To ensure proper payroll administration, it is imperative that the Payroll Office has every employee’s work schedule accurately recorded. The standard work schedule for office employees is 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (0800 to 1630). If you opt to change your work schedule this summer to leave at 4:00 p.m. (1600), the Summer Hours Non-AFSCME 2012 form must be completed and returned to the Office of Human Resources. To aid in a smooth transition of summer hours, please return the form by Friday, April 20, 2012. Note: AFSCME employees and supervisors have received notification regarding the Alternate Work Schedule for the 2012 summer work schedule. The AFSCME Alternate Work Schedule form was to be completed and submitted to the Office of Human Resources by March 30, 2012.

This is a voluntary summer work schedule for those employees who, with the approval of their supervisors, choose to work an alternate schedule during the summer months. Employees may choose to work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (0800 to1600) with a half-hour lunch between noon and 1:00 p.m. (1200 and 1300) and regularly scheduled breaks. Employees who do not wish to change their present schedules may maintain the 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (0800 to 1630) work schedule with a one-hour lunch period and regularly scheduled breaks.

Some areas are exempt from the voluntary work schedule due to the nature of the work. Employees who work in those exempt areas will not be able to participate in the voluntary summer work schedule. Exempt areas are listed in the Summer Office Hours Guidelines, Section 5, (b).

The Office of Human Resources will be happy to answer questions about the voluntary summer work schedule and the change in the official university business hours. Please call Diane Donahue, Employee Relations director, at 724-357-2431 if you have any questions or need further information.

Dries 2012-03-02T14:54:00Z The Office of Human Resources has provided the following information to explain procedures during periods of inclement weather:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania is committed to the safety and security of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Therefore, the decision as to whether university classes or programs and events will be held during periods of adverse weather conditions is based on the overall concern for the university community.

There is an important distinction between the decision to cancel classes and the decision to close the university. When classes are canceled, staff, managers, administrators, and faculty members whose responsibilities lie outside the classroom are expected to report to work. Employees choosing not to report to work when classes are canceled will be charged paid leave time—either annual, personal leave, or leave without pay—and must submit leave.

The president has the authority to close the university. The decision to close the university will be made only under the most extreme circumstances. If the decision is made to close the university, only essential employees will be required to report to work. Essential employees for 2011–2012 have been notified.

In the event of cancellation of classes or events, or closure of the university, a brief notification will be provided via the television and radio stations listed below. For more detailed information, employees should go to the IUP website or call 724-357-7538.
