EGC Employee Handbook: Introduction

EGC EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK

Section 1: INTRODUCTION

1.2 To Whom Does This Handbook Apply?

The East Georgia College Employee Handbook is designed to guide classified employees in matters concerning employment and benefits as well as the policies and procedures of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and East Georgia College. These policies are subject to review and change by the Board of Regents and the administration of the college.

The Employee Handbook is not to be interpreted as a contract of employment nor does it guarantee the right to employment. In case of any divergence from or conflict with the Bylaws or Policies of the Board of Regents, the official Bylaws or Policies of the Board of Regents will prevail. Interpretations and enforcement of policies in this handbook shall be the responsibility of the vice president for fiscal affairs.

An effort has been made to avoid duplicating information otherwise available in other East Georgia College publications, such as The Faculty Handbook, the East Georgia College Statutes, the Affirmative Action Plan, and various benefits booklets. Benefit booklets are issued by the Human Resources Office to all new employees.

Any questions concerning information in this handbook should be directed to your supervisor or to the Human Resources Office located in the Luck Flanders Gambrell Center.

1.2 To Whom Does This Handbook Apply?

The information contained in this handbook applies to all classified employees working one-half time or more. A classified employee is one who is not identified as a member of the corps of instruction (faculty) or a student employee. There are two categories of classified personnel:

Professional and Administrative Personnel (Exempt):

All employees who are exempt from the Federal Wage-Hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act because of their professional or administrative responsibilities and who are not identified as faculty shall be designated as professional and administrative personnel.

Staff (Non-exempt):

All employees who are not exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act shall be designated as staff.

1.3 The Human Resources Office

The Human Resources Office, located in the Luck Flanders Gambrell Center, functions to serve the best interests of both the employees and East Georgia College. The vice president for fiscal affairs and her staff are responsible for implementing college personnel policies, recruiting, position classification, wage and salary administration, orientation, training, employee records, and staff benefits. If you need information or guidance, please contact the Human Resources Office for assistance.
