Letters from President Podolefsky notifying UUP employees that they have been awarded a discretionary salary increase for 2011 were mailed on Tuesday, October 25. UUP employees who did not receive an award letter are reminded that they may appeal the decision by Wednesday, November 2, 2011, as follows:

Appeal Process

• Any eligible faculty or professional staff member who is not notified by the president of an award by the designated date should assume that his or her name was not on the preliminary list. Employees not scheduled for an award, and employees dissatisfied with the amount of their award, may file an appeal with the Appeals Board. Reminder: self-nominations are not required to be eligible to appeal.
   
• The Appeals Board includes the president, provost, vice presidents, deans, and other administrative staff selected by the president. The board will consider written appeals of no more than 600 words. The board meets in closed session, and testimony or personal appeals will be by invitation only.
   
• Written appeals, addressed to the president, must be delivered to the President’s Office by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 2. Copies (not originals) of the appeal must also be provided to the associate vice president for human resource management (secretary to the Appeals Board) and to the appropriate vice president, dean, director, and department chair.
   
• Appeal candidates will be notified of the outcome of the appeal by November 14.
   
• Discretionary awards will be reflected in the paychecks dated December 7, 2011.
