c) Designated Employer Representative to Act

1) Each employer governed by
the Act and by this Part shall appoint a Designated Employer Representative
(DER) as described by Section 36d(12) of the Act. The employer shall file with
the Executive Director the name of the administrative official of the employer
who has been designated by the employer to act as its representative for the
coordination of its acts and the exercise of its responsibilities in matters
relating to the Act and this Part. The employer shall complete a Designated
Employer Representative (DER) form provided by the University System that
includes the following information: place of employment, name and title of
administrative official or (DER), address, phone number, email address, and the
effective date of the appointment. This form shall be signed by the chief
administrative officer of the employer. The University System will acknowledge
receipt of the form. No one may seek to appoint themselves as the DER; such an
attempted appointment will be without force or effect. It is the responsibility
of the employer to maintain a current DER form with the University System. If
the employment of the individual appointed as DER is terminated for any reason,
or if the employer withdraws its appointment as DER, the employer shall
immediately appoint a new DER. In the event of an unplanned or emergent
departure of the appointed DER, the employer shall have 3 business days to
appoint a new DER. Absent such an unplanned or emergent departure, an employer
without a current DER form on file with the University System shall not be
permitted to complete any employment transactions subject to the Act and by
this Part and the procedures.

The DER may submit a DER Signature Authorization form naming an additional
staff member to sign documents on their behalf should they be absent from the
workplace. The DER Signature Authorization form by the University System shall
include the following information: place of employment, designee's name,
specimen signature, address, phone number, email address, and the effective
date. The DER must certify and date the form. The University System will
acknowledge receipt of the form. This form shall remain in effect until the DER
notifies the University System of any change. If the employment of the
additional staff member permitted to sign for the DER is terminated for any
reason, or if the employer withdraws its authorization for this additional
staff member to sign for the DER, the employer shall immediately notify the
University System of this change. In the event of an unplanned or emergent
departure of an appointed DER, this signature authority shall expire upon the
appointment of a new DER or within 3 business days, whichever is
sooner.
