| The Employee Handbook is, in part, a codification
of those rules, regulations, rights and guidelines which relate
to employment and working conditions at St. Edward's University,
Inc. All of the material discussed applies to regular staff.
Some information applies to faculty and Administrative Officers.
The Faculty Manual and Employee Handbook are written within
the framework of the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees. Should
any confusion or conflict arise between these documents, the
Bylaws take precedence. Confusion or conflict between the
Faculty Manual and the Employee Handbook for faculty members
is resolved in favor of the Faculty Manual. In the event that
any policy, rule, regulation, or guideline described in this
Handbook is determined to be unlawful under any law, it shall
be deemed modified so as to comply with such laws.
The efforts of the Office of Human Resources are directed
to the establishment and maintenance of progressive personnel
administration and effective employee relations. The major
responsibilities of the Office of Human Resources include:
1. Consistent interpretation and application of personnel
policies and prompt recognition of the need to revise them
when indicated by the operating needs of the institution;
2. Definition and classification of positions in such a
manner as to establish and maintain appropriate internal
job and salary relationships;
3. Establishment of pay ranges for various classes of positions;
4. Effective employee relations, including the resolution
of complaints or problems
5. Development and conduct of employee training programs;
and
6. Ensuring adherence to personnel policies mandated by
the university.
To these ends, the Employee Handbook has been promulgated
as a guideline and information source for management and
employee alike.
