East Tennessee State University Staff Handbook

Introduction

This Handbook was prepared as an employee guide to institute benefits, services, policies and procedures. The Handbook is applicable to East Tennessee State University employees only. It supersedes any previous personnel handbooks. It has been prepared in loose-leaf format for convenience. As policies change, Handbook pages will be issued to replace outdated ones. Please make every effort to keep your copy current.

This Handbook is not a legal document. East Tennessee State University reserves the right to amend or modify the Handbook as necessary, or make exceptions to application of any of its provisions in particular situations. The Handbook is not intended to imply any conditions of employment. The language used in this handbook is not intended to create, nor is it to be construed to constitute an employment contract between ETSU and any of its employees, or to guarantee continuous employment. Employment at East Tennessee State University is "at-will" under the laws of the state of Tennessee. None of ETSU's supervisors or agents have authority to make any binding assurances that conflict with the "at-will" doctrine. This employment relationship can be terminated with or without cause, and with or without notice, at any time, by either ETSU or the employee. Only the President, or the Vice President for Administration, in the case of Support Staff (hourly) employees, have the authority to enter into binding employment agreements, which are enforceable only if given in writing and signed by the President (or Vice President).

If there is a conflict between this Handbook and official ETSU and Tennessee Board of Regent's Policy or Guidelines, University wide Administrative Memoranda, or Tennessee state policy or law, those policies, guidelines, memoranda, or laws will prevail.
