Employment and administrative
policies

1.  Explanation of Materials Published in
this Resource

The resource known as the Employment and Administrative Policies
contains University of Washington policy statements and administrative information
statements from several sources. There are two parts in this resource:

The Emloyment and Administrative Policies resource is a temporary resource. These chapters will, over time, be migrated to other resources within the UW Policy Directory that better define the policy’s contents and ownership. In the meantime, this resource serves as a miscellanea of policies retained from the now retired University Handbook.

2.  History of the Material Prior to Publication
in this Resource

Prior to being published here, in the UW Policy
Directory website beginning December 2010, these policies were part of the University
Handbook, Volume 4. This volume contained a mix of administrative orders and policy
statements, Faculty Senate actions, and other materials from various sources.

To track all University Handbook materials from their former
citation to their current location in the UW Policy Directory material, see the Road Map: From the University
Handbook to the UW Policy Directory.

The University Handbook, published as a hard copy binder from
1969 until 1999, and as a standalone website from 1994 through December 2010, succeeded the
University’s Faculty Handbook. The Faculty Handbook was an earlier,
annual publication of policy and administrative information.

3.  History of Revisions, Source
Abbreviations Used, and Information Related to these Materials

The revision history for each chapter in the Employment and Administrative Policies resource is located at the end of each chapter.

Source abbreviations identify the authority or means by which these policies have been adopted and revised. Source abbreviations used in the Employment and Administrative Policies history of revisions are as follows:

AI or AP—Administrative Information or Administrative Policy: An informational statement
or administrative policy prepared by a relevant University office or official of the administration.

RC—Rules Coordination: The University Policy & Rules Office publishes simple housekeeping amendments to the Employment and Administrative Policies that correct typographical errors; make address, name, or contact information changes; or clarify language without changing its effect. All housekeeping amendments are first reviewed and approved by the University official(s) delegated authority for the policy’s subject matter.

Other relevant information related to these materials may also be cited
below any history of revisions.

4.  Organization and Numbering System Used in this
Resource

Policies in this resource are listed as separate chapters within
each of the two parts. Chapters in the University Employment Policies part
are numbered in the 100s; chapters in the Administrative Policies part are
numbered in the 200s. Chapters are not sequential.

6.  How to Add New, or Revise or Remove
Existing Material Located in this Resource

Policies that have previously been developed and published as
administrative information (AI) or administrative policies (AP), as defined in the history of revisions—see
Section 3 above, are revised, reviewed, approved, and repealed by the
University official(s) delegated the responsibility for that subject matter.
However,
especially for personnel policies, state and federal laws may also compel the
University administration to update or revise these policies from time to time. The University Policy & Rules Office may provide final editing and coordinates policy statement reviews and approvals prior to publication.

The University Policy & Rules Office works with these parties in
publishing approved policies according to Executive Order No. 47.
