§ 23-38.115. Election by certain Covered Employees
A. If the governing body of a covered institution establishes a human resources program or programs pursuant to § 23-38.116, a salaried nonfaculty Covered Employee of that covered institution who was in its employment as of the day prior to the effective date of the initial Management Agreement, except employees of the University of Virginia Medical Center, shall be permitted to elect to participate in and be governed by either (i) the state human resources program set forth in Chapters 28 (§ 2.2-2800 et seq.) and 29 (§ 2.2-2900 et seq.) of Title 2.2, or (ii) the human resources program or programs established by the governing body of that covered institution pursuant to § 23-38.116. A salaried nonfaculty Covered Employee who elects to participate in and be governed by the human resources program or programs established by the governing body of that covered institution pursuant to § 23-38.116 also, by that election, shall be deemed to have elected to be eligible to participate in and to be governed by the human resources plans, programs, policies and procedures that are or may be adopted by that covered institution for his classification of employees pursuant to §§ 23-38.118, 23-38.119, and 23-38.120.
B. If the governing body of a covered institution establishes a human resources program or programs pursuant to § 23-38.116, the covered institution shall provide each of its salaried nonfaculty Covered Employees who was in its employment as of the day prior to the effective date of the initial Management Agreement, except employees of the University of Virginia Medical Center, with a period of at least 90 days after the effective date of the institution's human resource program for his classification of employees to make the election required by subsection A. If such a salaried nonfaculty Covered Employee does not make an election by the end of that 90-day period, he shall be deemed not to have elected to participate in the human resources program or programs established by the covered institution pursuant to § 23-38.116. If such a salaried nonfaculty Covered Employee elects to participate in the human resources program or programs established by the covered institution pursuant to § 23-38.116, that election shall be irrevocable. At least every two years, a covered institution shall offer to salaried nonfaculty Covered Employees who have elected to continue to participate in the state human resources program set forth in Chapters 28 (§ 2.2-2800 et seq.) and 29 (§ 2.2-2900 et seq.) of Title 2.2 an opportunity to elect to participate in the human resources program or programs established by the covered institution pursuant to § 23-38.116; provided that, each time prior to offering such opportunity to such salaried nonfaculty Covered Employees, and at least once every two years after the effective date of the human resources program or programs established pursuant to § 23-38.116, the covered institution shall make available to each of its salaried nonfaculty Covered Employees a comparison of its human resources program for that classification of salaried nonfaculty Covered Employee with the state human resources program for comparable state employees, including but not limited to a comparability assessment of compensation and benefits.
