Policy Statement and Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to detail the Commonwealth’s human resource policies that apply to classified employees employed at VCU.

The Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) is the central human resource (HR) agency for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

All VCU classified staff are subject to all DHRM state policies, which are available at the DHRM website. VCU university and academic professionals are subject to the Working @VCU: “Great Place” HR Policies policy. VCU classified staff are also subject to three sections of the Working @VCU: “Great Place” HR Policies policy. Those are Section IV. Performance management; Section V. Career development; and Section VI. Leadership development.

Additionally, all VCU employees (includes faculty) are subject to these specific DHRM policies:

• 1.05 – Alcohol and Other Drugs

• 1.35 – Emergency Closings

• 1.50 – Public and Private Employee Interchange

• 1.75 – Use of Electronic Communications and Social Media

• 4.05 – Civil and Work Related Leave

• 4.17 – Emergency Disaster Leave

• 4.37 – Leave to Donate Bone Marrow or Organs

• 4.40 – School Assistance and Volunteer Service Leave

• 4.52 – Public Health Emergency Leave 

• 4.57 – Virginia Sickness and Disability Program

• 4.60 – Workers’ Compensation

• 6.05 – Personnel Records Disclosure

• 6.10 – Personnel Records Management

In some cases, VCU has policies that supplement DHRM policies to address VCU’s specific needs (e.g., Office Closings). VCU’s policies are in concert with all DHRM requirements.

Noncompliance with this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. VCU supports an environment free from retaliation. Retaliation is prohibited against any employee who brings forth a good faith concern, asks a clarifying question or participates in an investigation
