In an effort to better serve our customers, and to help make the internal process more efficient, Human Resources (HR) has made alterations to the position authorization (blue) form used when initiating a search and/or hire. There will now be two forms: one for faculty and one for all staff (union and non-union). The updated forms are online: Faculty Position Authorization Form and Staff Position Authorization Form. Please remember to utilize these new links and remove any saved documents from desktops or drives.
If you have any questions regarding this form, please contact your Employment Services Representative.
Special Operating Hours Over Thanksgiving Break
The University will be closed on the following days—Thursday, Nov. 23 and Friday, Nov. 24. Business Operations has posted the departmental hours of operation during the Thanksgiving break on their website.
This will be updated regularly prior to Nov. 23. If your department has not yet submitted your Special Operating Hours, do so using this google form posted on the website.
Note: for employees in units considered critical areas of operation, regular hours and shifts will continue as usual and as needed over the entire break. Check with your supervisor to determine if you or your area is considered a critical area of operation.
For questions, contact Business Operations at 7-2148.
With winter weather approaching, now is a good time for departments to begin discussing communication procedures for weather-related absences. During times when weather conditions deteriorate, each person within the University community must exercise personal judgment on the ability to get to or from campus.
Interruptions in work due to weather are no different than other events that cause us to leave work early or arrive late. The first thing employees should do is contact their supervisors directly and explain the situation.
Hourly employees may use vacation or comp time to make up for hours missed due to bad weather. Exempt employees are expected to fulfill their regular job responsibilities.
Please exercise caution in adverse conditions. In the event the local public schools are closed, remember that Michigan Tech has a policy regarding Children in the Workplace.
For questions or concerns, employees should contact Human Resources at 7-2280 or email Amy Mensch at ajmensch@mtu.edu.
