Labor and Employee Relations

 

Labor and Employee Relations (LER) acts as both an informational resource and as a liaison for formal and informal interactions to ensure the appropriate application of legal, regulatory, policy, and union contract interpretation and implementation, investigations, corrective and disciplinary action, performance management, and conflict mediation/facilitation functions. LER implements labor agreements, and assists managers and supervisors with employee issues, including performance evaluation, performance management, and corrective action. LER also provides other services including but not limited to: administration of the reasonable accommodation process, interpretation of policies, procedures, and collective bargaining agreements; workplace investigations; counseling, mediation, and conflict management.

Managers, supervisors, and staff experiencing difficulty in their work environment are encouraged to contact us for assistance and guidance.

Students, staff, faculty, and third parties experiencing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, sexual misconduct, dating and domestic violence, and/or stalking are encouraged to contact the Center for the Prevention of Discrimination and Harassment (CPHD) for assistance and guidance.
