Academic Employee Relations (AER)
Housed within the Department of Faculty Affairs, Academic Employee Relations seeks to foster harmonious and cooperative labor relations between the university and its academic employees. This department is responsible for the administration of the California Faculty Association (Unit 3) and UAW Academic Student Employees (Unit 11) Collective Bargaining Agreements and acts as liaison for formal and informal interactions between academic employees, collective bargaining units and/or campus employee organizations.
The department works with academic administrators, and academic employees to identify positive methods of addressing and managing a range of issues including employee grievances, supervision, performance, evaluation, and discipline in accordance with the appropriate collective bargaining agreement and university policies.
Academic Employee Relations is also responsible for processing long-term leaves of absence for academic employees.
