This Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual describes policies, procedures, and benefits established by the University's President and Board of Trustees. If you have questions or need clarification on any topic, you are encouraged to discuss them with your supervisor or a Human Resources staff member.
This manual applies to all University personnel except where contrary or additional policies or provisions applicable only to faculty are contained in the Faculty Handbook. All Gonzaga employees are subject to the guidelines set forth in this manual. This manual supersedes any previous verbal or written policies, practices, procedures, or promises made by the University concerning its employees' terms and conditions of employment, except those expressed in written individual employment agreements. Only the President has the authority to enter into an employment agreement for any specified time period or provide any particular terms of employment or agreements contrary or in addition to the provisions of this manual. To be enforceable, such agreement must be in writing and signed by the President and the employee.
This manual is not a contract of employment, and none of the policies, guidelines, or procedures are contractual. These policies, in whole or part, may be modified, amended, or revoked at any time at the University's sole discretion with or without prior notice. The University reserves the right to interpret any of the policies at any time and in any manner it deems appropriate. Gonzaga's interpretation of any provision in this manual may vary from time to time if, in its opinion, the circumstances require a variation.
