Personnel
Administration of TSU Personnel System (6.3)
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to describe the administration of
the Personnel System at Tennessee State University.
POLICY
These personnel policies shall be applied and enforced by authorized
supervisory personnel. Tennessee State University believes the
most rewarding employment relationship results from the open,
fair and consistent interaction directly between staff and those
that supervise or manage operations. While no business is free
from daytoday problems or unusual employment situations
not covered by existing procedures, it is the desire of Tennessee
State University to foster effective employee relations at all
levels, to ensure fairness and consistency in these personnel
matters. Tennessee State University has designated the Personnel
Director to be responsible for centralized personnel operations.
PROCEDURE
Ultimate authority for interpretation, application and enforcement
of these policies rests with the Personnel Director or designee,
who will be responsible for impartially resolving matters where
questions or issues arise. The Personnel Director or designee
will additionally be responsible for such personnel matters as:
A. Initiation of amendments and revisions to these policies and
procedures at times determined by the University to be necessary
or warranted;
B. Initiation or revisions to job descriptions, wage and salary
schedules, benefit plans and programs and performance evaluation
systems;
C. Recruitment, selection evaluation and personnel records;
D. Enforcement of all applicable state and federal employment
laws and their effect upon personnel procedures and practices;
and
E. Other duties that may be necessary to carry out the practices
and provisions of a contemporary personnel system.
Whenever there is doubt as to the applicability or interpretation
of these procedures, the Personnel Director should be consulted.
