Discussion
Rep. Thacker asked if Chair Jessie had heard anything about the tuition waiver issue. Chair Jessie is meeting with VP Walters on Wednesday about this.
Rep. A. Moore asked Roger Barker about the Wellness Initiative. Mr. Barker said it has been postponed until at least July 2006, but there is no guarantee it will start at that time.
Rep. Stewart asked if there are still people coming in to look over our EEO categories. Mr. Barker said HR is in the final stages of making a decision; they are down to the final two companies so they should have a decision shortly. The company chosen will select a representative sample from the entire population to review market value. Mainly, they are making sure our criteria is up-to-date and we're in 2005. They will be spot checking to see if people seem to be in the right grade. The recommendation might be that we go to a single scale.
Chair Jessie asked if employees have to fill out a new form for the health insurance. Mr. Barker said early on it looked as if everyone would have to fill out a new application, but now only those employees making a change need to fill out an application. Rep. Thacker reminded everyone that they still need to designate an amount for their flexible spending account; it is not carried over. Mr. Barker said employees have to designate an amount for their FSA each and every year.
Mr. Barker asked everyone to encourage their constituents to attend an open enrollment meeting. Employees attending one of the sessions need to bring their open enrollment packet. The packet will be used as a training tool. Also, the CHA pharmacist will be on-campus for individual sessions on November 10 from 2-4 in Breck 217, November 15 from 10-2 in the Human Resources Conference Room and November 16 from 10-2 in the Human Resources Conference Room. Employees must make an appointment to meet with the pharmacist, but do not need an appointment to attend the open enrollment sessions.
