Employee Relations Committee (ERC)
Chair: Valerah Hodges, Purchasing Specialist, Purchasing
Co-Chair: Anna Lane, Administrative Specialist, Library
Purpose
The purpose of the Employee Relations Committee is to provide a direct channel of two way communication between University administration and regular non-exempt employees for information and advisory purposes. The ERC will serve as a means for University administration to disseminate information concerning plans and programs affecting non-exempt University staff. It will also serve as a forum by which non-exempt employees can discuss issues of general concern to them. ERC members may be called to serve on review panels to address formal employee grievances and will generally serve as employee advocates to promote a positive and productive work environment at UTC.
Meetings
Monthly meetings will be held on the third Thursday of each month, unless otherwise indicated. As scheduling and time permits, the Director of Human Resources may arrange informational and training programs for which interest has been expressed by the ERC.
To appear on the agenda, business items should be submitted to the Chair, Valerah-Hodges@utc.edu, or to the Director of Human Resources, Dan-Webb@utc.edu, within three days of the ERC meeting. Any other items may be subject to deferral to future meetings.
