I acknowledge receipt of the St. Edward's University Employee Handbook. I understand that it does not form the basis of a contractual relationship between me and the university but is merely an expression of the university's present policies regarding personnel matters.

I understand that it is my responsibility to familiarize myself with the contents of this Handbook. I agree that I will conform to these rules and regulations and, further, understand and agree that these rules and regulations may be changed in the future and I will be bound by those changes should I choose to continue my employment with the University. I understand that I may request an updated copy of the Employee Handbook and review the most current version through the university's web site.

I also understand and agree that the university has no obligation to pay me for time not worked if no appropriate accrued paid leave is available to cover my absence. I further understand that I will not be paid for time off as a result of a disciplinary suspension.

Upon separation of service, I understand and agree that the university's obligation to pay me ends on the effective date of my work separation. I agree to pay or make arrangements to pay any indebtedness owed to the university and understand that failure to pay or make arrangements to pay such amounts or to turn in issued uniforms, lap top computers, equipment, keys, or other university property may result in the amount being deducted from my final paycheck.
