The Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) was created to provide retirement and other benefits for Arizona employees. It includes faculty and employees of the state's political subdivisions who signed membership contracts. Maricopa Community Colleges is a Plan employer of the Arizona State Retirement System and all employees of MCCCD become members of the System once eligibility requirements are satisfied.

  • Employees are required to make contributions to the ASRS Plan if they work for twenty hours or more per week for twenty weeks or more in a fiscal year.
  • For Faculty, one load hour is equivalent to two clock hours.

Arizona State Retirement contributions will automatically be deducted from your paychecks. The state retirement withholding rate may change each fiscal year. Rates can be found on the ASRS web site

Please report any injury during the course and scope of your employment immediately to your supervisor and Public Safety. If your supervisor is not available, report the injury to another supervisor in the area or the HR department. Only involve Public Safety if there is a life threatening injury or no other supervisors are on the campus at the time (after hours or weekends). The employee must contact Triage Now immediately after the injury with their supervisor.

TriageNow will notify the Claims Manager of the injury within 30 minutes of taking the report. The supervisor will then complete the Supervisor’s Report of Industrial Injury form. This report must be completed in its entirety and forwarded to District Risk Management within 48 hours of the injury or illness.

Since the time was not entered and approved by the absence management deadline, it will not be included in the current pay period.  It will be automatically included in the following pay period.

RPS (part-time) employees are required to punch in and out in HCM. If an error is made when reporting time, the employee should contact their immediate supervisor as soon as possible. Supervisors have access to modify the timesheet in HCM to correct any errors. Supervisors are required to approve RPS employees’ time each pay period.

One Year Only (OYO) and One Semester Only (OSO) employees hired on a short-term contract for various reasons. OYO and OSO faculty are often hired to backfill for individuals on sabbaticals or other types of long-term leave. OYO and OSO staff positions are often hired to pilot new positions, backfill for individuals on long-term leave or temporary reassignments, and many other reasons. These individuals are benefits-eligible and contribute to the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS).

Part-Time (RPS) at-will employees are hired to support the College in a variety of roles. These individuals may work up to 25 hours per week and up to 40 hours per week during designated peak week periods*, if approved by their supervisor. RPS contracts are generally approved on an annual basis and can be renewed if funding continues. Supervisors need to modify the end date of an RPS contract in HCM if they do not plan for the position to continue beyond the fiscal year. These individuals are not benefits-eligible, but do contribute to the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS).

Agency, or contract, employees are hired to support short-term needs of the college and are external employees. These individuals are often hired to support special projects or needs of the college in a short time frame. These individuals are not benefits-eligible and do not contribute to the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS).

Phoenix College has no official policy restricting employees from decorating their workspace or office. However, here are some things to keep in mind when you think about decorating your space:

  • We are a higher education learning institution and you may interact with students on a frequent basis. Be sure that your workspace is welcoming to individuals from all cultural backgrounds.
  • If you would like to hang anything on physical walls, please submit a facilities helpdesk ticket (HDT) using the online HDT system. Facilities Management will do their best to accommodate your request in a timely manner.

 

Office and workspace name plates are managed by Facilities Management. Submit a facilities helpdesk ticket (HDT) using the online HDT system to place a request for a nameplate. Be sure to include necessary components in your HDT.

Phoenix College and MCCCD do not have official dress code policies enacted by our governing body. An obvious reason for this, our college and district are a huge system that requires employees to perform a wide variety of job responsibilities, and it would not be fair to hold everyone to the same dress standards. We suggest speaking to your supervisor to ask about what is most appropriate for your job responsibilities and workplace.
