As many positions do not allow working remotely; would there ever be discussion about summer hours for employees such as Fridays off during June and/or July or summer hours ending earlier at 3pm during June and/or July? Summer shifts ending at 3pm would allow staff to leave before the extreme heat of afternoons, especially those that park far away. Another potential option for heat reprieve may be consideration of closing on Fridays during summer months.
There is growing concern among many employees at our institution—the issue of low pay. While senior management enjoys comfortable compensation packages, a significant number of our staff are living paycheck to paycheck. Many of our colleagues are single-income earners without the benefit of a partner's additional income, which makes managing the high living costs, such as rent for an apartment, particularly challenging. Arizona's cost of living has steadily risen, placing additional financial strain on employees.
Our annual Staff Council End of Year Celebration will take place on Friday, June 28 from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. This year’s celebration will be held at SkySong – The ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center located at 1365 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, Building 3, Synergy I & II.

I am trying to figure out why every department has a different standard for working from home. The "rule" is 60% in office and 40% at home, however, instead of 2 days WFH and 3 in office- some departments do 2 days in office some do1 in office. Can we have a baseline here?
I recently received a promotion and was told that I could only receive an 8% salary increase. This 8% increase doesn’t come close to the person I am replacing salary despite comparable experience, certifications, and education.
Is the maximum 8% increase a legitimate ASU policy?
For most of it's history, West has been largely a commuter campus. It's becoming much more residential and growing like crazy. However, we don't have the bike infrastructure that Tempe has. I would gladly bike to work, coming in from just 1.5 miles to the west. However, 2 things interfere. First, Wood Drive coming in from the southwest part of campus lacks bike lanes. It has narrow shoulders, often gravelly, and the desert vegetation obscures line of sight for drivers, making this a hazardous route. Expanding to include bike lanes and trimming the brush would fix this.
