1-6 At-Will Employment Disclaimer
In distributing this Handbook, the University does not intend to create a contract of any kind, to promise to act in any way, or to alter the at-will status of any Employee.
Employment is at the mutual consent of the Employee and the University. Accordingly, both the University and the Employee have the right to sever the employment relationship at-will, with or without cause or advance notice, and the University can modify any term or condition of employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.
We encourage you to use the Handbook as your first place to find answers to questions you may have related to your appointment. If you cannot find an answer to your question, or if you are not sure you have the most current version of a policy, please ask your Program Core Faculty, Dean, or a Human Resources Representative.
You will be given access to the updated version of the Handbook through the USU website. Please note:
● You are responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with the policies and procedures in this Handbook.
● As policies and procedures are changed, the University will distribute updated information by providing electronic updates or printed pages. You are responsible for reviewing any updated policies, and if you have questions or concerns, seek clarification and guidance. In the event of a discrepancy, the most recently revised policies that have been communicated (either electronically or by providing printed pages) will prevail.
● Violations of University policies in this Handbook and other policies, rules, or guidelines may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
● No University policy, procedure, or practice is intended to conflict with applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or regulations. Where a conflict does arise, the applicable law will prevail.
