Employee Handbook

Preamble

This Employee Handbook applies to all regular employees in positions not restricted to BSC members.

Whenever there is a conflict between this Handbook , any collective bargaining agreement or at will contract , the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement or at will contract shall govern, but only to the extent the collective bargaining agreement complies with federal and state laws and only with respect to the employees included in the bargaining unit.

In sections where the provisions of the collective bargaining differ significantly from those of the Employee Handbook, the difference is noted in the policy language and a bracketed reference to the applicable section(s) of the Employee Association Contract is provided. In sections where the Employee Association Contract offers additional or differing policy language but no significant difference in practice, a bracketed note and reference to the relevant sections section(s) of the Employee Association Contract is provided.
