The Engineering Staff Council and Human Resources are requesting staff members鈥 opinions on an upcoming change in the college.
For years now, the college has been awarding staff members $500 for every five-year incremental years of service to the college, as part of the Commitment to Excellence Award. Unfortunately, IRS regulations allow for a max award up to $400 only. Therefore, the college will need to change its process and is looking to propose an alternative.听Please take this by June 9 to have your opinion count!
