POL-U5420.01 Training Supervisors on HR Compliance Issues

The Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs (BFA) will ensure an appropriate and accessible Supervisor Training program is implemented. The Vice President for BFA delegates the development and implementation of the program to the Director of Human Resources (HR). The Director of HR will oversee the scheduling, curriculum and facilitation for all supervisor training that will be available as a result of this policy.

Employees defined as the Supervisory Group are required to complete the Supervisor Training Program. Department heads must ensure HR is apprised of any changes to an employee’s position that may affect participation in the program to ensure that training is scheduled based on each employee’s current job title and responsibilities.

The Director of HR will facilitate training for Executive Officers and Department Chairs. The Director will identify applicable course content for the Department Chairs with the Faculty Senate President and Deans.

HR will conduct a needs assessment with the Supervisory Group to aid in course development and evaluate the delivery and effectiveness of course content each quarter.

To facilitate successful completion of the program, department heads, vice presidents and deans will ensure employees of the Supervisory Group are granted reasonable periods of time to obtain the required training and that training time is made available.

The Supervisory Group is responsible for carrying out the duties of their position in compliance with the laws, rules, policies and principles as taught in the Supervisor Training Program.
