Labor & Employee Relations

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

The University of Illinois Springfield believes in promoting a positive work environment for all employees.  As such, when an employee alleges that the University has violated the terms and conditions of employment contained in their respective bargaining agreement (i.e., committed a grievance), we encourage our supervisors and employees to attempt to resolve the matter between them.

Rising Stars

Rising Stars

Designed for new employees to orient themselves to the campus and to familiarize them with the many acronyms, places, and faces they’ll see around them during their employment, the Rising Stars program was developed in 2017 in a joint effort between multiple campus offices.

Know Your U

The Know Your U program was launched in August 2019 as a system-wide effort to provide our dedicated employees with opportunities to learn more about the wonderful university they work so hard to support.

The program is designed to provide eligible staff with ways to discover and experience, during their normal workday, the initiatives, research, academic programs, history, and infrastructure at our universities.

Benefits & Leave

The University of Illinois Springfield offers a wide variety of benefits for faculty and staff.

Employees can choose from a number of competitive health insurance plans, a dental plan, flexible spending plans, several types of term life insurance, long term disability insurance, supplemental investment programs and additional optional offerings. Employees and their children may also be eligible for tuition waivers.
