The Employee Handbook is your guide to policies and procedures as an employee of Bryant University. It is important that you read and become familiar with this document as it will provide you with information and answer many questions you may have about the University.
DISCLAIMER: This handbook has been prepared by the Human Resources Department to serve as a practical guide to University personnel policies. While this handbook does not represent a contractual agreement, it does offer valuable information on a wide variety of topics. It is only a summary of policies compiled for your convenience and is not intended to cover all topics or circumstances. Where there are differences between the provisions of this handbook and more specific statements contained in Bryant’s contractual agreements, or records (such as insurance policies, plan documents or Collective Bargaining Agreements), the contractual agreements or records shall control.
No information in this handbook is intended to create a contract of employment, a guarantee of benefits, or a guarantee of procedures to be followed. It is merely a guide, and its provisions may be changed without notice. Bryant is an “employment-at-will” employer, which means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without notice or cause.
While we do try to lend stability to our policies and procedures, we reserve the right to modify any condition of employment with or without notice.
The policies, rules, and regulations contained in this handbook supersede and replace all policies, rules and regulations contained in prior handbooks or policy statements. We suggest that you read them carefully.
In some cases, Collective Bargaining Agreements may alter or modify personnel policies and benefits described herein. In these cases, the applicable provisions of the current Collective Bargaining Agreements will prevail.
