This is just a quick reminder that you are invited to join Dwaine Duckett, UC’s vice president for Human Resources, today from 1 - 2 p.m. in an online web chat about the health care rates for 2012, UCRP contributions, revised staff layoff policy and UC’s new family-friendly programs.
VP Duckett will answer faculty and staff questions about these HR topics during a live, web-based conversation with Penny Herbert, UC staff advisor to the Regents, and Ravinder Singh, chair of the Council of UC Staff Assemblies.
