PAYROLL, BENEFITS, RETIREMENT, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE

The PBR part of this committee was formed  in August 2007, to address the three primary issues of staff at UCB. The committee acts as a conduit for our constituents by soliciting staff concerns, researching payroll and benefits issues, disseminating accurate and timely information to staff, and advocating for appropriate compensation and benefits. In 2008, the legislative component was joined serving to track proposed state and federal legislation impacting higher education and State of Colorado employees.  The committee analyzes proposed legislation in order to educate staff on both the pros and cons of the issues.  Additionally, the Committee organizes meetings of staff with local legislators and candidates.  One of the goals of the committee is to involve more staff in the legislative process.
