My merit increase was 1.75%!!! Seriously? ASU is paying way below average for their staff. Are they working on restructuring the pay for ASU employees?

Hello, I believe it would be beneficial for university staff to have paid time off and it would be helpful to the environment for the university to be closed from December 23rd through January 2nd each year. Having worked in both EOSS in the SAILS department and now working in CHS, the activity on campus and work load from 12/23 through 01/02 is non-existent. Requiring staff to be on campus and the university to be open is a waste of resources. Specifically, living in a desert oasis with dwindling water and by keeping the heat and electricity running for no students to be on campus and infrequent visitors, the university is doing more harm than good to the surrounding environment. Additionally, morale in staff would be boosted and the overall employee culture would improve if the university was closed and the staff received paid time off from 12/23 through 01/02.

Hello I was wondering if I am a salaried employee do I need to take a lunch I was told too and hour at that which is long time and so instead of putting an 8 hour day I am working 9 hours and I feel it's a waste of time for an hour do we have an option to take 30min or none so we can leave after 8 to get home to our families? We are sometimes so busy we snack at our desks to get stuff done and get out on time. If this a something that can be revised to all schools and departments to let us have options not feel forced or like a prisoner cause we can't leave after 8 hours of work. I am not the only one that feels like this. If this can be revised or we are given options and all departments and schools and salary people updated that would be great to know and our managers know so we can be all on the same page. Thanks

My question is as follows since people were either quarantined at home or essential personal here at ASU in 2020 very little really happened for the staff council ! In essence can we as the current staff council members have an extended year added to our elected term limits if a council member chooses to or not and being the Art walk winner i have several projects and proposals in mind but we all lost a productive year ! How do we go about extending or adding the lost year !
