Mr. David Fillman
Executive Director
AFSCME Council 13
4031 Executive Park Drive
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17111-1599
Dear Mr. Fillman:
After discussions with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) regarding appointments above the minimum, the Pennsylvania State System of higher Education agrees to the following procedure:
- Prior to making an appointment above-the-minimum salary, Universities will notify the appropriate District Council Director of AFSCME. Such notification shall include the reason for the above the minimum appointment.
- The appropriate District Council Director will have five working days to review the notice from the University and comment on the appointment above the minimum.
- In those cases where the five working day commitment period may result in a University losing a candidate for a critical or difficult to fill vacancy, the University will advise the District Council that a prompt comment is necessary.
Please acknowledge your acceptance of the foregoing by signing on the line provided below and returning a signed copy to my office.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Krapsho
Acting Vice Chancellor for Human Resources and Labor Relations
