UTSI Employee Relations Committee (ERC)

The Employee Relations Committee was formed to provide a direct channel of communication between regular staff non-exempt employees and University officials for information and advisory purposes, and to provide University officials with an effective method of soliciting and disseminating information concerning plans and programs affecting regular staff non-exempt University employees.

The ERC representatives meet during the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Special meetings may be called by the Chairperson at other times as circumstances warrant. Staff non-exempt employees are asked to give questions, issues, and problems to the representatives for discussion at these meetings.
