The changes to this University Policy clarify which positions are deemed to be Essential Personnel for purposes of reporting during inclement weather and other unusual conditions. The changes also encourage department heads to provide food and shelter for Essential Personnel when they must report to campus in order to address problems previously faced by personnel who, due to weather, could not return home or retrieve food. The changes also address how employees who are paid on an hourly basis and who do not earn leave credit will be paid for periods when the University is closed or when the employee believes that travel is unsafe.
This Policy required revision because the State has eliminated its administration of the Employee Assistance Program. As a result, the UNC Charlotte Counseling Center has become the University’s sole resource in employee disciplinary cases in which the University finds it necessary to mandate employee counseling as a condition of continued employment. These revisions are intended to articulate the role of the Counseling Center in addressing such employee issues without compromising the Counseling Center’s ability to provide services to students
This Policy replaces PIM-47. It converts some longstanding operating rules for reporting annual leave into a University Policy Statement so that affected employees have a readily-available reference.
This policy provides that at UNC Charlotte centers and institutes are established or discontinued at the discretion of the Chancellor, following review or evaluation by the Centers & Institutes Committee and recommendation by the Provost. The process is managed by the Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development in accordance with procedures established by the Centers and Institutes Committee.
This University Policy is revised to add the Career Center to the list of office on campus that the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs should contact upon notification of the death of a student. In addition, several other office names and required actions are clarified.
The revisions to this University Policy broaden the coverage of the policy from “electronic mail” to all “electronic communication systems” to ensure the appropriate use of all the University’s electronic communication systems (not only email) by its students, faculty, and staff. Accordingly, the title of the Policy has been changed to "Electronic Communication Systems.” Electronic communication systems are defined as tools provided by the University to complement traditional methods of communication and to improve education and administrative efficiency.
The revisions to this University Policy are based on new accounting/reporting requirements for public universities under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements #203 and #603.1. These new requirements include tracking and reporting building and infrastructure assets. The revisions are intended to strengthen the policy with regard to accountability for lost or stolen assets. The revisions also include State and University requirements policies and procedures for operating a surplus property store on campus.
The revisions to this University Policy are intended to better control the volume of items the University is currently tracking through inventory. The Office of State Controller guidelines allow the University to select inventory levels at four different thresholds. These recommended revisions comply with Office of State Controller requirements.
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) (also known as indirect or overhead) costs are the general support expenses relating to research and sponsored programs that are incurred for common objectives of the University and therefore cannot be readily identified with a particular sponsored award. This new policy provides that F&A costs will be reimbursed by a federal sponsoring agency at their UNC Charlotte negotiated F&A rate. The University expects all non-federal sponsored programs to be reimbursed for their full costs, both direct and F&A.
This University Policy is revised to add a provision permitting the University to monitor data traffic to safeguard the integrity of the University's computing and electronic communication resources and to minimize the risks to both those resources and the end users of those resources. Specifically, the revision allows ITS to monitor data traffic and to access, retrieve, read, and/or disclose data communications when there is reasonable cause to suspect a violation of applicable University policy or criminal law, or when monitoring is otherwise required by law. The new language in this University Policy will also be included in a network logon banner, so that users are notified of the potential data traffic monitoring when they log onto the University network
