Take Advantage of Sick Child Care and Emergency Child Care

Published on by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

Family Resource Center’s (FRC) Sick Child Care brings quality care and peace of mind to MSU parents when their children are mildly ill. This service brings qualified home-care aids into your home to look after your ill child when you are unable to take time off work or school.

Each MSU family is eligible for 16 hours of subsidized sick child care per child, per fiscal year, to be used in blocks of three hours or more. If a family requres more than 16 hours of care they may call FRC for authorization to extend the hours of care provided, depending on the nature of the illness and recovery time. MSU subsidizes 70 percent of the cost, meaning Employees only need to pay $5.80 per hour for a home aide.Continue Reading… Take Advantage of Sick Child Care and Emergency Child Care

Energy Transition Plan Trivia

Published on by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

Michigan State University’s Energy Transition Plan was created by the Energy Transition Steering Committee, to develop a long-term plan that will help MSU reliably meet its future energy needs while considering future energy costs and environmental impacts. The committee recommends that the long-term vision for the university should be to transition to a campus completely powered by 100% renewable energy sources. President Simon has received the plan from the committee, and the MSU Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote on the plan in April.

Everyone should become familiar with the plan before it is voted on… so we decided to make it fun! Read through the plan and try to find the answers to the questions below. If you are one of the first two people to email the most correct answers to HRcommteam@msu.edu, you will receive a special Be Spartan Green goody bag! We will announce the winners on Monday.
