All of personnel policies are in our Employee Handbook, which are on our 
Intranet. I will attach them here.
Attachments include:

1.       Employee Benefits policy - I wrote this policy last year when we 
needed a central place to house all of benefits (leave, sick, service awards, 
medical, dental, etc). If anyone wants to see a full policy that they cannot 
click on from the Benefits policy, please contact me.

2.       Leave Accounting Procedures

3.       Vacation Leave & Faculty Break Days

4.       Community Service Leave

Lessons learned:  We are in the process of converting our policies into our new 
template. See above Benefits and Leave Accounting policies. It is very hard to 
research personnel policies and in the process of converting the policies, we 
are trying to update the personnel policies and SOMEHOW they keep getting stuck 
along the way. Even when people say researching and updating the policy is 
their priority - it's not and it gets put on the back burner so I did all of 
the research for the benefits policy myself (even though I am not in HR). It 
got done a lot faster that way. I was able to send them a draft with benefits 
that were red-lined that were outdated and questions already in there to speed 
the process up. I've updated personnel and non-personnel policies and the 
personnel policies take the longest - even when they are cut and dry.

Also, I spoke with our HR VP ahead of time about whether we could eliminate our 
Employee Handbook hardcopy a few years ago (and our General Counsel) to make 
sure there were no reasons we actually needed it. I was assured we didn't and 
we have been running an electronic handbook for the past few years, but I still 
get questions every few months "Why don't we have a hardcopy of the Employee 
Handbook".  For some reason people still want to hold on to a copy of personnel 
policies. It's frustrating to keep trying to convince people it's a waste of 
time to update policies on the web and in print (if there is not a legal reason 
for both).

Thanks,
