PURPOSE: To set policy regarding visits to staff members during working hours.

RESPONSIBILITY: The Vice President for Human Resources is to ensure compliance with this policy.

POLICY:

Due to insurance considerations and the potential for disruption of work, staff members are not to have non-employee visitors on University premises (e.g. family member, friend) unless prior permission has been granted by their department head. If permission is granted, such visitation can not disrupt the work of that staff member or other staff members, faculty, students or any University activities/functions.

Staff members are not permitted to have personal visits by other staff members, or faculty during scheduled work hours. Personal visits are to be confined to non-work hours (e.g. meal break) and outside work areas.

Failure by non-managerial/non-supervisory staff members to comply with the above policy will result in the staff member being formally counseled followed by progressive discipline (written warning, suspension, termination) for subsequent violations.
 
 

By Direction of the President:

Senior Vice President for Administration and Finance
