Affordable Care Act and OPS health insurance In compliance with the employer mandate, the state of Florida has expanded benefits eligibility to individuals hired into OPS positions and in other temporary job classifications who work on average 30 hours per week over the state’s defined measurement period. If determined eligible by the state, the temporary employee will receive a notification regarding their eligibility and enrollment instructions from People First, the state of Florida’s third party administrator.

FMLA Family and Medical Leave Act

What Is the FMLA? Federal law designed to protect employees when leave is required due to: – Serious medical situations/serious health condition of employee, parent, spouse, or child – Birth or adoption of a child – Foster care – Military Family Leave and other updates in 2008

Under the FMLA... All USPS, TEAMS, and salaried faculty are eligible – OPS employees, upon meeting criteria, have protection as well 12 workweek “entitlement” in the fiscal year (or 480 hours) – Prorated for part-time employees (OPS- 1,250 hours per year to be eligible)

FMLA Entitlement Leave must be approved unless FMLA entitlement has been met No additional paid leave is accrued under the FMLA – It is a designation associated with accrued vacation, sick, or leave without pay Accurate record keeping is essential

UF Policy (Extensions) Parental leave – UF policy grants 6 months - new program to advance 6 weeks of leave – faculty and staff Medical leave – For self or immediate family Immediate family – Spouse, domestic partner, great- grandparents, grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren of employee and spouse or domestic partner (“Step” relations are also included)

Classification and Compensation

UF as an Employer On any given payday, approximately 27,000 employees will receive a “paycheck” – Includes student assistants and temporary employees UF’s average biweekly payroll is $49,507,000 – FY 13 payroll (salary only) was $1.3 billion

UF Employment Groups Staff Appointments: TEAMS (~7,300) – Technical, Executive, Administrative, and Managerial Support USPS (~1,000) – University Support Personnel System – No new USPS after 1/7/03 OPS – Other Personnel Services/Temporary

UF Employment Groups Faculty Appointments: Salaried Faculty (~5,000) Adjunct Faculty (OPS/Temporary) Other Appointments: Postdoc Associates Residents Student Assistants Graduate Assistants Fellows – Pre- and Post-Doctoral

Staff Classification and Compensation Framework Designed to help ensure that staff positions similar in duties and responsibilities are grouped together Facilitates administration of funds allocated for wages and salaries in an equitable and legal manner

Performance Management Effort on the job classifications is being accomplished in two phases: – UFIT Project – UF On Target Project steering committee, work groups, HR project team

UF On Target Classification Project When implemented, the “On Target” Classification Project will : Provide staff employees with more meaningful job titles that reflect what they do Establish clearer career paths and promotional opportunities through job groupings Enable UF to align training and development plans with job classifications

Reclassifications? When there is a significant change in the duties assigned to a position, a reclassification should be requested – Focus on duties and responsibilities assigned to a position, rather than the individual occupying the position – The employee should already be performing the work

In General … HRS can provide information related to: – What’s the average pay on campus for a particular classification? – What’s an appropriate range to use when advertising a vacancy that takes into account appropriate market data? – What’s an appropriate amount for a Special Pay Increase, or SPI – market, counter-offer, additional duties (temporary or permanent)?

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) originally 1938 (updated in 2002)

Fair Labor Standards Act Prescribes standards for wages and overtime pay that affect most private and public employment Requires employers to pay covered employees (non-exempt) – Overtime pay of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay – At least the federal minimum wage

Fair Labor Standards Act Non-exempt - (hourly) – Not exempt from the FLSA – Must be compensated for hours worked over 40/workweek with overtime (1.5) – UF’s workweek: Friday–Thursday – NOT calculated on biweekly period “Exempt” – Exempt from, or not covered by, the provisions of the FLSA

Overtime Overtime compensation for USPS/TEAMS is provided either as pay or accrued compensatory leave – Both calculated at 1.5 – Employees cannot volunteer for their own job In the event of a disagreement between payment and compensatory leave accrual, it’s the employee’s choice

Overtime Even unauthorized overtime must be compensated if worked NOTE: OPS employees must be paid for overtime worked

Minimum Wage Federal - $7.25/hour State of Florida (Student and OPS) - $7.93/hour (effective January 1, 2014) – expected to increase in 2015 UF Staff Employees - $10.00/hour

Institutional Equity & Diversity How Federal Laws Affect Employment Decisions

Federal Laws Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and CRA of 1991 Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, as amended Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Federal Laws Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974 Pregnancy Discrimination Act Immigration Reform and Control Act Executive Order from 1960’s (Affirmative Action Plans) - Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)

Affect All Employment Practices Hiring Promoting Training Disciplining Providing benefits Firing Layoffs

Non-Discrimination Age Race Color Religion Pregnancy Veteran status Genetic Information Sex Disability National origin Marital status UF policy added sexual orientation, gender identity and expression

It’s Illegal to... Refuse to hire or pay based on sex, age, race, or disability Make employment decisions based on appearance, accent, religion or ethnic background Discriminate based on citizenship status

The University promotes and integrates the principles of equal opportunity, nondiscrimination and excellence through diversity. It is the policy of the University of Florida to provide an educational and working environment for its students, faculty, and staff that is free from discrimination and sexual harassment. brochure.pdf brochure.pdf To this end, every new employee is expected to complete the online Preventing Sexual Harassment training within 30 days of hire. Navigation: My Self Service > Training and Development > Preventing Sexual Harassment Institutional Equity and Diversity

Protection of Vulnerable Persons Law On October 1, 2012, a state law went into effect that requires a state university ADMINISTRATOR, to report known or suspected child abuse, neglect or abandonment (including physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse) that occurred on university property or at a university sponsored event directly to the Department for Children and Families (“DCF”) via the Florida Abuse Hotline at (800) or via myflfamilies.com. Children are people (including students and others) under 18 years old. Definition of administrators and training on HRS web site under policies

Title IX Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity that receives financial support from the Federal government. Under Title IX, discrimination based on sex includes sexual harassment, sexual violence and sexual assault. Title IX also prohibits retaliation against individuals who complain about or participate in an investigation regarding an alleged Title IX violation. Additional resources are available:

All employees must produce documents proving authorization to work in U.S by the end of the third day of work. Hires must be entered into the UF payroll system, which is now connected to E-Verify, by the end of the third workday.

Immigration Compliance Services (ICS) ICS provides administrative support services to departments/centers and foreign nationals as they relate to processes associated with sponsorship of exchange visitors, temporary workers and employment-based permanent residents. Nonimmigrant Workers (H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3) Foreign national employees with an educational background which meets the qualifications for a “specialty occupation” with the intent to either return to a place of residence abroad or remain in the U.S. permanently. Nonimmigrant Workers (H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3) Employment Based Permanent Resident Status Foreign national employees whose employment conditions meet federal and University requirements for sponsorship under an immigrant classification, which allows the employee to adjust status to one which permits one to reside and work.
