This policy manual explains university human resources policies applicable to:  1) non-union biweekly employees classified as clerical (CL), technical (TE), research technician (RS), nurse (NU), licensed practical nurse (PN), and general supervision (GS) and 2) employees classified as professional (PA or PB).  In some instances, the manual includes policy information applicable to hourly staff.

For purposes of this manual, the functional classifications of CL, TE, SM, GS, NU, PN, RS,  and similar positions are combined and referred to as Support and Service Staff.

These pages represent only a portion of the university’s personnel policies and procedures for such employees and do not change the authority or intent of policies approved by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University. A complete set of Trustee-approved policies is available for review at the office of the Board of Trustees.
