- Appreciation for Recent Staff Pay Increase
The Unclassified Staff Advisory Council would like to commend the administration for coming through with a 2 percent raise for staff this year.
USAC brought the issue of raise equity to the administration back in December 2010. The administration was quick to respond in a series of meetings with various colleges and units where they assured us that equitable compensation of staff was a priority issue for them.
Despite the difficult economic times, the administration followed through on their assurances by providing the raise. They have made it clear to us that this issue continues to be in the forefront of their thinking. USAC is pleased with the support we’ve gotten.
- Health Insurance Open Enrollment
In an effort to manage health insurance costs for both the university and its employees, Wright State has decided to offer medical, dental, and vision insurance separately. The open enrollment period, which runs from Oct. 24–Nov. 23, is an opportunity to make changes to your current health, dental, vision, and/or dependent care flexible spending, supplemental life insurance and short term disability benefits. Employees who do not submit open enrollment forms will continue to receive all coverage types currently on record.
For more information about open enrollment and changes to health care benefits, please visit www.wright.edu/hr/.

The Department of Human Resources is considering providing a flu shot program for dependents and reduced cost vaccinations for pneumonia and shingles. Please share with us your opinion on this proposal so that we can represent your interests at upcoming Staff Council Human Resources Committee (SCHRC) meetings.
