Resources for Supervisors

Supervisors, managers and administrators who work with both bargaining unit employees and/or non unit employees may contact their HR Business Partner for help with: 

  • Interpreting policies or bargaining unit contract language.
  • Reviewing reorganization plans and other personnel actions that have employee and/or labor-management implications.
  • Addressing departmental policy and procedure changes such as contracting out work or changing work schedules.
  • Developing approaches that address a supervisor's concern about employees such as attendance and discipline.
  • Managing layoffs and bumping.

Supervisors are also encouraged to utilize the training and resources available for supervisors through WLD.

To understand the complexities of supervising at the UMass, we encourage newly hired or promoted supervisors to attend this training.
