Staff Relations Committee

The general role of the Staff Relations Committee is to serve as a mechanism for communication between those responsible for the staff relations function of the University and the University staff.

The Committee discusses issues related to staff working condition and other matters with respect to staff-employer relations.

Policies affecting staff exclusively will be developed by the Staff Relations Committee and will recommend new or amended policies to the President and Vice-Chancellor. Depending on the nature of the policy, the President and Vice-Chancellor may issue it as a University Policy, or recommend it to the Board of Governors for approval. The Staff Relations Committee has joint responsibility with the Faculty Relations Committee for Class FS policies. 

The Associate Provost, Human Resources and the President of the Staff Association will serve as co-chairs, alternating meeting to meeting.
