As an international employee, I am very frustrated with the international employee management team. There are always tax errors in my paycheck including forgetting to apply for tax exemption, applying for tax exemption by error, or overcorrecting and deducting more tax than it should be.

In addition, whenever I notice a mistake and try to communicate with their team, they always have a hard time realizing what's the issue and I have to explain the policies and errors to them.

ASU proudly showcases its high student enrollment, yet this success doesn’t benefit employees, who continue to live paycheck to paycheck. Supervisors and directors seem to care only about numbers, not about the people behind them. According to a report from ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy, rent in Arizona has soared nearly 72% from 2010 to 2022, forcing minimum wage workers to work 86 hours per week—essentially more than two full-time jobs—to afford a two-bedroom home. How can we manage to sleep, let alone live balanced lives, under these conditions?

The current SUN award allows recipients who receives Sun Award know who the sender is. While in most cases, I don't have problem disclosing it, I have heard from faculty/staff that they wish there is an option to allow the sender to be anonymous. Can we add this option for those who would like to use them?
