| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | We would like to regain the part time clerk position for our Dental Hygiene clinic receptionist. For many years this position had 2 part time clerks that each worked 2.5 days per week. Currently, we have one clerk position and one 520 position filling the the duties of this very important position. The pay and benefits are unequal but the responsibility for patient appointments, electronic records and collection of fees are the same. Our students depend on these folks to schedule the patients and input the data so that xrays may be taken. We feel strongly that the receptionist is an important member of our team,we want quality personnel who are committed to the program and equality in the position is warranted. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The inequity would continue and we may lose a valuable,capable employee with the unique skills and experience with our electronic record system to another job. This position is still listed by HR. There has been a request submitted to the AVP and VPAA that has been approved. The departmental budget can support this position. We are still waiting for a response from administration to accomplish this vital goal to better serve our students and our patients. |
