As one of the major employers in Southern California, UCLA has over 20,000 staff employees and a complex system of policies and contracts that govern that employment relationship. Because there are several different bargaining units for staff at UCLA, certain employees are covered by a contract while others are covered by university policies. From UPTE Technical, to ASFCME, to PPSMs, the essence of what these contracts and policies cover is the same, but procedural differences in implementation can be critical factors in managerial decision-making. This class demystifies the process of finding answers in the University’s many policies and contracts regarding staff employees. It is designed to help UCLA managers and supervisors:

• Understand the basic elements common to all policies and contracts, such as: hours of work, wages, leaves, separation, discipline, complaint resolution and safety
• Become familiar with varying terminology for similar employment topics
• Know where and how to find the answers you need to policy/contract questions
• Identify who to contact and when for clarification on policy issues
