Introduction:
The personnel policies and procedures contained in this policy manual apply to non-classified employees of the Board of Governors.
The Board of Governors recognizes that there are collective bargaining agreements and individual employment contracts with non-classified Board employees in the system of public higher education. These collective bargaining agreements and individual employment contracts, and the terms and conditions of employment and salary structure therein contained, reflect the autonomy and distinctiveness of each institution within the higher education system, as well as the separate bargaining histories between the Board and the individual collective bargaining units.
Where the provisions of this personnel policy manual and the respective agreement(s) conflict, the collective bargaining agreement or individual employment contracts in force shall hold. Where there is a conflict between the provisions contained herein and institutional personnel manuals, the personnel policy manual provisions adopted by the Board shall apply.
This Personnel Policy Manual is prepared to provide information and guidance
for employees. The Board of Governors reserves the right to unilaterally
change, add to, or delete any of the provisions in this Personnel Policy
Manual at any time. This Personnel Policy Manual is not a contract
of employment and does not create any legal or contractual rights or any
past practices.
