George A. Smathers Libraries: Library Personnel Office
The Library Personnel Office assists Library employees in achieving personal goals related to the work environment and experience. This is accomplished through a wide variety of activities from handling paychecks and personnel related forms to performance objectives and career counseling.
The Library Personnel Office staff is available to address, in confidence, performance problems and to advise on organizational objectives, position descriptions or the performance evaluation process. The staff also oversees all classification and compensation matters for the libraries.
Every other week, the Library Personnel Office distributes approximately 550 paychecks; and as part of the payroll function, maintains all annual leave, sick leave and special and administrative leave records. All searches and appointments for Library faculty, Administrative & Professional (A & P), University Support Personnel System (USPS) personnel, the College Work Study Program, volunteers, interns and grant personnel are coordinated by the Library Personnel Office.

This includes a wide range of formal and informal activities, such as identifying training requirements, developing and coordinating training programs, overseeing staff development travel, facilitating the annual staff service and recognition awards, monitoring tuition waivers, providing basic skills training and working closely with the promotion and tenure process.
