A Note to @PimaNews Readers

Because of the COVID-19 crisis, @PimaNews is highlighting recent COVID-19-related policy and procedure changes. These will be revised and updated as the situation warrants. College leadership is committed to communicating with employees early and often during this uncertain time. However, they realize that the amount of information and details sometimes can be overwhelming.

College Updates

Info for Students, Employees and Community on Pima’s COVID-19 Web Page
The latest information and employee notices at pima.edu/covid19 include a link to FAQs about the self-reporting requirement under the temporary COVID-19 personnel policies, plus a link the Employee Handbook.

Chancellor Lee D. Lambert no longer is sending daily COVID-19 updates to employees, but all of his employee communications are online.

Also at pima.edu/covid19 are Student Notices. Employees and students should regularly check their College email.

For health-related info visit:

Pima Employment Opportunities for Internal Candidates
Pima values its employees and wants them to advance their careers at the College, which is why there are positions open only to internal candidates. To view, go to MyCareerCenter > Internal Jobs (a menu on the top banner) > Career Center > Explore Open Jobs > Search. Or, follow this link > Explore Open Jobs > Search. Part-time staff or adjunct faculty, refer to AP 2.02.01 sections 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 for eligibility.

Faculty Services and Resource Centers Available Virtually
Campus staff from the Faculty Resource centers and Campus Resource centers are available to assist you. Faculty services and resource centers also have new contact information, Faculty-Services@pima.edu and 520-206-6511.

New Online Access Requests
Pima employees are now able to request access to a campus, and retrieve and declare work assets using the online Asset or Access Request form. You can:

  • Request access to pick up assets for use while working remotely. For example, a chair or a computer monitor (Note: this does not include PCs or network printers).
  • Request access for other reasons. For example, to look up a file or do something that cannot be done remotely.
  • Declare College assets already in your possession.

To access this form, visit MyPima > Employees > @Work > Quick Links > Requests & Approvals > Asset or Access Request. For questions, contact Human Resources, hr@pima.edu or 206-4624.

Library FRANK Talk: Understanding Systemic Oppression
Pima Community College Library will host an AZ Humanities FRANK Talk, “Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression,” from 10:30-11:30 a.m., Oct. 16. Rory Gilbert, co-founder of the Healing Racism Public Dialogue Series and winner of the 2008 National League of Cities Promoting Inclusive Award, will lead this virtual community conversation about how systems impact people differently and the steps we can take to eliminate unfair treatment and harm to others. Register online to attend.

Donate Annual or Sick Leave to Pool
Consider helping your colleagues by donating your excess sick or annual leave to the College’s Donated Leave Bank. Donation limits apply. Your donations will help support Pima employees who are out due to an FMLA-qualifying reason. Donations are anonymous and cannot be returned to the donor. Only the period of medical and parental FMLA that is supported by medical certification is eligible for donated leave. Email completed donation forms or questions to Employee Service Center, esc@pima.edu.

Exempt Employees: Consider Joining the ACES Group
The Association of Classified Exempt Staff (ACES) invites exempt employees to join ACES. ACES represents all exempt employees to College administration on matters related to wages, salaries and working conditions. For more information about how ACES can support you in your networking and professional development goals, visit pccaces.org.
