Important:

The information on this page and in this employee guide is primarily for Staff and Administrative & Professional employees, though some parts may also apply to Faculty, temporary employees, and student employees. Faculty members should also reference the Faculty Handbook, as it includes policies and procedures that uniquely pertain to Faculty.

If there is a conflict, University Policies and the Code of Conduct and Ethics supersede the Employee Guide or any previous employee handbooks.
