Educational Assistance Program

The university provides you with the opportunity to enroll in courses for credit at a reduced rate. After six months of continuous service, regular employees (except staff on unpaid leave of absence, students or staff in positions considered to be student employment) may enroll in up to six credit hours of college level credit courses each semester and three credit hours during the summer session or intersession. Employees on regular, ninemonth appointments may enroll for not more than the maximum number of hours allowable by that campus during the summer session, if they do not hold an appointment for the summer.

When you enroll for credit courses through this program, you pay only 25 percent of the Educational Fee and Supplemental Fee. No Educational Fee or Supplemental Fee is charged if you audit courses (except through the Center for Independent Study and MU Direct Continuing and Distance Learning) and do not take them for academic credit. All other fees are charged at the normal rate.

Before you can benefit from the Educational Assistance Program, you must file an application to enroll with the director of admissions and registrar, meet student admission requirements and remain an employee through the end of the course. Participation in the program is contingent on supervisory approval, workload, scheduling and other departmental considerations. (HR 303)

Staff Recognition and Awards

The University of Missouri, in appreciation of service, recognizes employees by the presentation of service awards to regular employees after every five years of continuous service up to 45 years. Each campus has unique staff recognition and award programs, including programs such as service awards, special recognition awards, employee of the month and staff recognition week.
Compensation
Salary & Compensation include information about base salary, signing and year-end bonuses, stock options, vacation time, and other special perks and reimbursements that make up total compensation at Nike.Depending on who's crunching the latest numbers, studies suggest that America's most elite corporate executives earn as much as 200 times more money than their company's median workers. Yet in the idyllic, sedate setting of Portland's suburbs, all signs hint that when it comes to salary and bonuses, Inc. runs a comparatively frugal operation.
refers to its executive compensation game plan as "conservative...compared to salary levels for equivalent executive positions at other global consumer product companies." Highly qualified executives are instead retained by what the company calls the "incentive components" of payday. stock performance awards and savings plan contributions help boost the executives pay by another $70,000 to $700,000 each year. Another benefit of the humble pay scale is a public relations shield for Nike, which is still frequently attacked for its overseas labor practices--where Indonesian workers contracted to make shoes start out making $2 to $3 per day.
Countless stock incentive plans, compensation packages and back-boardroom perks make comparisons with other companies difficult. But if anything, the salary and bonus listings are a symbolic place to start.
