NOTIFICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT
Recent federal legislation provides for two new types of employee leave under FMLA. One type, "Exigency Leave", will not be effective until the applicable federal regulations are issued. The other, "Service Member Family Leave", is effective immediately.

An eligible college employee who is the spouse, child, parent, or next of kin of a covered service member is now entitled to up to 26 workweeks of leave during a 12-month period to care for the service member. A covered service member is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces (including National Guard or Reserves) who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, or is otherwise in outpatient status or on the temporary disability retired list, for a specified serious injury or illness incurred in line of duty on active duty.

The process for obtaining Service Member Family Leave is the same as for other types of FMLA leave. If you have questions about FMLA leave, contact Human Resources.

REPORT FROM BUDGET COMMITTEE
Bob Francis, Chair, SCC Budget Committee
As part of the hiring criteria adopted in October 2007 by PSET (in consultation with the Budget Committee), the VPAS is to submit quarterly reports regarding new hires to the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee is then to determine if the hiring process was followed and the criteria reasonably met. Following this determination, the Budget Committee is to communicate its findings to the campus community. In compliance with these procedures, the VPAS informed the Budget Committee that one hire was made during the fall quarter: a position in HR. The committee found that the hiring process was satisfactorily followed. The committee also let PSET know that there is no need to justify all positions based on the strategic plan since there can be "reasonable basis" for hiring outside the strategic plan (e.g. legal, contractual, accreditation). If you have any questions feel free to contact me or any members of the budget committee.
