Kaiser / SEIU Local 49 Education Fund Application Process and Instructions
Application Process:
Members
submit requests for funds to Human Resources, c/o Local 49 Education
Committee KPB-13. All requests are reviewed by the Human Resources
Adviser to the Education Committee. Requests are then forwarded to the
Treasurer, who reviews them for pre-approval. If the Treasurer has
concerns about the request, s/he will bring it to the Education
Committee for review and a final decision.
The Education Committee is made up of four SEIU Local 49 members who work at Kaiser, plus an Administrative adviser.
If
your request is approved, the Treasurer will send you a letter of
approval. Your application is sent to Human Resources for a signature
and then to Accounts Payable to issue the funds. The process takes
approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
If denied, the committee will review your application and send you a letter explaining why the request was denied.
Appeals
to any decision of the Local 49 Education Committee must be submitted
in writing to the Medical Labor Management Steering Committee at Human
Resources, KPB-13. Questions for committee members may be submitted to
