the Inter-University Council (IUC) has arranged to bring

Sciences Building amphitheater, room number 120, at 6:00 PM.
OPERS will send email announcements to all of its
participants inviting them to attend this open meeting.
Wright State employees are welcome to attend, and members of
the public may also be invited to attend.
Important Additional
Information
We are pleased to announce that the IUC
has information on its web site which references each of the
five Ohio pension plans and the recommended plan amendments
for each plan. The IUC is working diligently with the Ohio
Retirement Study Council to remain current on the progress
of legislative action. You may refer to the IUC web site at
www.iuc-ohio.org and
click on the link for “Pension Reform.” This web site is
evolving and will be updated to provide educational
materials about pension reform, and may include important
web links to other related materials. Please use this site
and check it occasionally. You are welcome to inform your
colleagues about this important information.
State Teachers Retirement System (STRS)
Human Resources is working with STRS
representatives in an effort to arrange for on campus
meetings to address STRS pension reform issues. Information
will be passed along if this can be arranged in the future.
New HR Survey Feedback
Tool
"How R we doing"
In consultation with Staff Council,
HR has developed a new employee service feedback tool. It is open
continuously for employee use. Leaving your name and contact
information is optional; however we would encourage
providing contact information so any questions or concerns
can be addressed. Any questions or other feedback will be
reported and follow up will occur as soon as possible or
within three business days.
HR will report the results of the
feedback to Staff Council on a periodic basis. The survey is
formatted as "How R we doing." This survey should allow HR
to provide improved service to our employees, as well as an
on-going communication and feedback mechanism.
To HSA
Participants:
Fifth Third
Bank is currently updating their online systems that has
caused sporadic disruption to HSA account holders. The
communication has been limited from Fifth Third Bank;
however, we have been assured they are taking steps to limit
disruption to account holders and this new platform will be
improvements for all. The online website will have a new
look. There are several changes to the online system that
will impact the way account holders use this service (for
example, bill pay features). These changes are addressed in
the
FAQs. Employee and dependent questions should be
directed to HSA support team at 1.888.350.5353.
