It's disheartening to observe how the current structure of pay increases within our institution predominantly benefits those in leadership and management roles, while overlooking the dedicated individuals working tirelessly in lower positions.
I spoke to someone in HR within the past year that said that the Roth IRA contribution in the 457(b) was not an option because one person in HR decided not to let it be an option. They said that the change would be happening to allow the Roth IRA contribution, but I haven't seen it. Can you please look into this being an option?
Does ASU plan on raising salaries to combat inflation, align to market value and combat the astronomical rise in cost of living for employees? The cost of everything has risen significantly and salaries do not reflect this. I work full time and am not making enough to make ends meet anymore. What is being done to address this? Your employees are suffering. I see multiple posts about employees voicing the same concern and nothing has been addressed or improved?
What is ASU's policy on paying for employees to get or renew professional certification required or by their position? The Zoom and Career EDGE and LinkedIn Learning are of poor quality and do not reach the educational requirements set forth by these professional organizations.
Can it please be addressed that the parking spot lines in the Apache parking structure need to be re-painted clearly? Currently, the previous parking spot lines are still reflective and the current parking spot lines are fading. This is causing the cars to park in old marked parking spots and is causing parking to be off-centered and not all parking spaces to be properly spaced/filled. If the parking lines in this space can be re-painted clearly is appreciated.
Why is there no longer a Vice Provost for the Downtown Phoenix and Poly campuses to oversee the collaborations and administration of those campuses to ensure units are collaborating? This position used to ensure that all leadership was aware of campus-wide efforts and maximizing opportunities to enhance the campuses events and outreach. With the lack of this position, it appears that the units on the campuses are operating in siloes now.
Offices that use to house one person now have three. If a dept does not have space for employees then why don't they consider an additional work from home day. Creative furniture can't solve the lack of space in some offices.
It has been great to see some crosswalks repainted. If we could have Crosswalks repainted on College and University that would be an incredible asset to those that walk throughout campus daily due to their work.
I am utterly disappointed, disturbed and frustrated with the lack of equal appropriation of funds for all Staff Helping Staff applicants. I submitted an application upon the recommendation of my co-worker. This co-worker (also a close personal friend) experienced a hardship with costly car repairs and was awarded the full amount requested to repair her car. When I experienced THE SAME car issues and submitted an application for THE SAME amount - I WAS DENIED!
Hello, I read the recent vacation policy accrual change and although it benefits all employees it does not address the holiday season. I know that ASU follows the Thank you for your feedback. The university falls under the policy guidelines of the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR). The holiday leave benefits policy currently authorizes ASU to designate 10 paid holidays; that number has not been expanded since the federal government’s recognition of Juneteenth.
