There are occasions/events (e.g., weddings, births, deaths, etc.) when a decision must be made as to how the department/school/faculty wishes to respond to an employee at a time of great joy or sadness. To assist in this regard, and to ensure that there is some consistency in the way faculty/staff are treated, we propose the following:
| Event | Dean | Department |
|---|---|---|
| Births | N/A | Gift for baby/parent from departmental funds |
| Weddings | N/A | At department's discretion |
| Hospitalization | Flowers/fruits for administrator | Flowers/fruits to faculty/staff |
| Deaths (e.g., faculty/staff or spouse/children) | Flower or donation | Flowers or donation |
| Parents, sister, brother, in-laws | Card | Flowers, donation or card |
It is to be understood that these are only suggested guidelines. The response may vary with individuals, and some circumstances may be especially extreme so the chair/director may choose to respond accordingly. The intent is just to provide a feeling of fellowship for everyone.
Staff Service Recognition since November 2009: The University centrally recognizes regular USG staff for their service at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 45 year milestones with a $100 gift redeemable on campus. This recognition is independent of 25 and 35-year club celebrations. This was implemented under the Staff Excellence Fund upon the recommendation of the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Staff Compensation.
