Employee Handbook Available 8/27

Thank you everyone for your feedback on the revised Employee Handbook. Starting August 27th, the final version of the Handbook will be available. During that time the acknowledgement process will also begin.

The acknowledgement process will be conducted through Voyager to ensure everyone has the opportunity to review the revised Handbook. With the new process there will be a bypass option allowing you to ignore the acknowledgement form and continue to have access to Voyager.

The bypass option will only be available for a limited time before you will be required to acknowledge the handbook in order to access Voyager. We encourage all staff and faculty to utilize this time to review the Handbook and become familiar with the revisions. More information about the bypass option to come.
