II. Report from the AD Hoc Committee on the Merit Pay Discussion

The Ad Hoc Committee continues their discussions on the process of how to distribute merit pay among the staff and administration. The Committee reported that there would be no change in the allotment of merit pay funds between the faculty and staff and administration because the staff and administration would have to forego merit pay for one year until the faculty schedule caught up.

The full Human Resources and Compensation Committee needs to come up with an official statement by November 1, 2004, as to whether or not merit pay procedures should remain the same or be revised.

III. Report from the Election Committee

Upon their return, the ballots will be tabulated for election results.

It was brought up about a relaxed dress code during the summer months for employees and it was suggested that the Human Resource and Compensation Committee study this to see if changes need to be made to employee handbook.
