Under the current APSS contract (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2025), development credit is no longer needed for wage increases.
The 2.5% and the 3.5% – and the medical, dental, and health insurance offsets – are included in steps 5-9, 10-15, and 16+ in our new contractual agreement. PSS will no longer need to attend PD workshops as the pay factors are built into the new unified wage scale.
Professional development itself is intended to be part of the performance management system (the new epdp) and a conversation between supervisor and staff member. PSS should set applicable professional goals, take action to meet them (which may include workshops), and discuss their progress with the supervisor during the annual evaluation process.
For information on the performance management system, please visit GVSU’s HR Performance Management Toolkit site.
GVSU’s Sprout is updated on a regular basis with workshop and professional development opportunities for faculty and staff.
