POLICY & PRACTICE REVIEW UPDATES

Americans with Disabilities Acts (ADA)

A new online course (number 2111125) entitled ADA for Supervisors and Faculty has been added to TrainTraq and will replace classroom training on the Americans with Disabilities Act and its amendments. This course provides examples of ADA issues, along with guidelines on responding to these issues. The course includes contact information for assistance.

If you need assistance with an ADA issue, please contact the appropriate A&M System Designated Contact for your department.

Reduction in Force (RIF)

RIFs for staff employees require a certain amount of time to properly complete. The university is currently giving RIFed employees two months of notice. It takes about 30 days minimum to plan and write a RIF business plan and obtain approval by the President and appropriate Vice President. Therefore, the beginning of the process for a RIF action will need to be initiated no later than three months prior to the time the employees will be removed from payroll. RIFs are coordinated and reviewed by Policy & Practice Review in Human Resources.

Please contact Policy & Practice Review at 862-3331 for questions or to begin the process for a RIF.
