Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA)
(HEERA) is California State law, which defines responsibilities of a manager. A HEERA manager is called many other names too: Administrators, MPP’s (Management Personnel Plan), or Non-bargaining Unit Administrators, yet they all mean the same.
An MPP defined is in Title 5 Article 2.2 of the California Code of Regulations and spells out employment rights, benefits and the conditions where employees are designated as "management" or "supervisory" who become HEERA managers.
- HEERA gives MPP’s the authority to take employment actions such as to: hire, discipline, finalize performance evaluations, submit in-range/classifications, etc.
- Managers retain the right to assign duties.
