Focus areas
1 Permanent Break
Make Winter/Academic Break permanent, including an equitable solution for Wexner Medical Center and essential employees.
2 COLA
Establish a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) in addition to the existing merit pool to address inflation and retain staff.
3 Vacation Accrual
Standardize Vacation Accrual so all exempt A&P staff accrue at the same rate as Senior A&P staff.
1 Pay Equity
Develop definitions of Pay Equity, Pay Equality and conduct compensation analysis for staff positions.
2 Staff Ombudsman
Establish a full-time Staff Ombuds Office to support the approximately 39,000 full-time and part-time staff members at Ohio State with a reporting structure directly to the Office of the President, perhaps through the Chief of Staff.
3 Stay and Exit Interviews
Offering stay and exit interviews as a standard practice will help staff retention and recruitment at the local level through relationship building with managers.
