Per Vice Dean Jaclyne Boyden's June 17, 2002 memorandum

RE: Approval Required of Actions Affecting Managers and Members of the Managers and Senior Professionals Program (MSP)

Effective immediately the School of Medicine Office of Human Resources Services (OHRS) will take on responsibilities for a number of personnel and payroll transactions relating to department/ORU manager positions and employees in the MSP Program. These changes are due, in part, to recent audit and other reviews and are implemented with the goal of providing adequate oversight and consistency in the application of policy and procedures. 

Academic Department And Organized Research Unit Managers

The following further modifies the procedures announced in August 2001. All transactions for the classification, recruitment, change in appointment or compensation; or, discipline of academic department and organized research unit managers that involve Campus Human Resources approval require OHRS endorsement prior to consideration by Campus Human Resources. The online processing of any change in compensation for a manager may only be processed by OHRS. Manual transactions such as additional pay forms will require an OHRS signature. There is no change in the procedure for processing of benefits, funding changes, or other actions that do not result in the direct adjustment of an individual manager's compensation; these actions will continue at the department processor level.

MSP Program

The following is a new requirement. All requests for the approval of classification, reclassification, or compensation (e.g. new salary or equity adjustments) of all employees in MSP titles that involve Campus Human Resources approval now require OHRS endorsement prior to consideration by Campus Human Resources.

To clarify the procedures for implementing these policies, please view the enclosed Manager and MSP Staff Personnel Action Procedures. All requests for MSP or manager review and approval or payroll processing for managers should be directed to the attention of MSP/Manager Review, School of Medicine Office of Human Resource Services, Box 1379. 

Questions regarding this policy may be sent to Director Dorian West, School of Medicine Office of Human Resource Services at Box 1379; email westd@medsch.ucsf.edu.
