COMMITTEE MEETINGS
-
Meetings of University committees will be held at times and locations selected by the individual committees unless otherwise mandated.
-
Each committee should consider the hour, location, and schedule of meetings at the first meeting of each year and revise by vote of the committee as needed.
-
A committee member is elected or appointed to represent a group of employees and should attend all meetings of the committee.
-
A committee member must notify his/her supervisor in advance of committee meetings which he/she is obligated to attend. An employee must not leave his/her work station without prior approval from his/her supervisor.
-
A supervisor should release employees to attend committee meetings, if the employee is a member of the committee.
-
If meetings are held after normal working hours or after a member's normal shift, the member will not be granted time off from work or be paid overtime due to the extra time spent in committee meetings.
-
The employee must notify his/her supervisor of any tardiness due to committee meeting attendance.
-
Committee meetings are open to all interested employees; however, employees who are not committee members will normally not be released from their normal duties to attend meetings. If such an employee wishes to attend a meeting for a justifiable reason, he/she must request permission from his/her supervisor in advance.
