Human Resources Policy Manual Updated

As part of a regular review process, Human Resources has updated the online HR Policy Manual with changes and updates to several policies.

The changes, which are effective Oct. 23, 2013, include the following updates: 

• Posting Vacancies & Filling Jobs:  Policy updated to remove reference to “real time” posting of job vacancies to reflect current practice of allowing time to coordinate with departments to ensure the job description is appropriate for advertising purposes.
• Prohibited Weapons:  Policy updated to include the language to prohibits any weapon, “including but not limited to" a list of examples to allow for the potential of other weapons not explicitly cited. 
• International Education Allowance:  Policy updated to include eligibility for the education allowance and the limitation of the allowance for up to two children.

A listing of all the changes can be found on the Polices section of the Human Resources website.

Employees are encouraged to review the changes to ensure understanding and compliance. Questions regarding these policies should be directed to the appropriate school or department Human Resources representative or Duke Human Resources Staff and Labor Relations at 919-684-2808.
