Retirement Gift Program for Staff EmployeesEffective June 1, retirement counseling services for staff were transitioned to UC's Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC). Part of the former counseling services provided by the Benefits Office included providing information on the Retirement Gift Program with a brochure from which retirees could select a gift. Due to the transition of services, the Retirement Gift Program information and folder will no longer be provided by the Benefits Office. To ensure this program continues to be part of the retirement process, we are asking that departments provide retiring staff members with the link to the OC Tanner online catalog where they may select a gift. The updated Retirement Gift Program webpage reflects the new department responsibilities. |
New Retiree Health Eligibility Rules Effective July 1, 2013About half of current faculty and staff will be affected by new eligibility rules for retiree health benefits that go into effect on July 1, 2013. To help employees understand the changes to retiree health, Anne Wolf, Systemwide Coordinator in Internal Communications at the Office of the President, sat down with Gary Schlimgen, Executive Director of Retirement Programs & Services, to field some of the most commonly asked questions. |
Introducing the UCR Core CompetenciesUCR has revised its core competencies for staff and developed a comprehensive website that details how they can be used in recruitment, performance management, and individual development plans. |
Your Guide to Professional DevelopmentPerformance appraisal time is right around the corner. With appraisals comes the chance to set goals and create development plans for the upcoming year. Not sure where to start? Human Resources has combined several resources on one web page that provide a “one stop shop” for professional development ideas and tools. |
New Benefits Service Delivery ModelUCR is implementing a new benefits service delivery model to optimize faculty and staff support in the years ahead. This model has been thoughtfully developed to ensure a similar level of service continues to be provided to faculty, staff, and retirees despite resource (budget) reductions and reduced staffing levels. The new approach leverages technology but also continues to offer in-person support when appropriate. |
Regents approve increased pension contributions for 2013Beginning July 1, 2013, faculty and staff will contribute 6.5 percent of their pay and UC will contribute 12 percent to the UC Retirement Plan (UCRP). Rates for represented employees are subject to collective bargaining. |
