Payroll, Benefits, Retirement, and Legislative (PBRL) Committee

2019 CU Advocacy Day
The Payroll, Benefits, and Retirementpart of this committee was formed in August 2007, to address the three primary issues of staff at UCB. The committee acts as a conduit for our constituents by soliciting staff concerns, researching payroll and benefits issues, disseminating accurate and timely information to staff, and advocating for appropriate compensation and benefits.

In 2008, the "L,"the legislative component was joined serving to track proposed state and federal legislation impacting higher education and State of babyֱapp employees. The committee analyzes proposed legislation in order to educate staff on both the pros and cons of the issues., Additionally, the committee organizes meetings of staff with local legislators and candidates. One of the goals of the committee is to involve more staff in the legislative process. The PBRL Committee meets the frist Friday of each month at 12 p.m., via Zoom.

Committee Co-Chairs: Grace ManiscalcoԻ Ian King
