Employee and Labor Relations

The Employee and Labor Relations unit serves as a resource for employees surrounding issues related to interpretation of UMB policies and procedures, collective bargaining agreements, FMLA, and leave. We also administer the annual performance development program. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and timely service that fosters a supportive work environment consistent with UMB’s Core Values.
