For the first time, we are moving toward a single Employee Handbook for all non-faculty employees of The College. The handbook is designed to work in alignment with the Vassar College Policy Library as well as collective barganing agreements. By creating one employee handbook we hope to increase transparency and access to information for all employees.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be holding an open comment period between now and July 1. During this time we encourage everyone to explore the new handbook, share feedback using the anonymous form within the handbook, and attend an information session. We look forward to hearing from you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vassarcollegecis.msnd3.com\/tracking\/lc\/bd229069-eacb-4856-b922-9204ed421e1a\/97018770-212e-4a87-bdd0-e4acb9c987ef\/1563ff5c-6332-48b3-822e-cd073d31791c\/\">Employee Handbook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join an Employee Handbook Information Session!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join us for an information session focused on the new Employee Handbook&nbsp;for all non-faculty employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual Sessions:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tuesday, June 2nd 2:00 pm\u00a0via Zoom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wednesday, June 17 1:00 pm via Zoom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In-person Sessions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monday, May 18th 2:00 pm College Center MPR (CC223)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday, May 29th 11:00 am College Center MPR (CC223)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday, June 11th 11:00 am College Center MPR (CC223)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vassarcollegecis.msnd3.com\/tracking\/lc\/bd229069-eacb-4856-b922-9204ed421e1a\/4f89bf06-26c1-4aaa-b786-872f9ac03343\/1563ff5c-6332-48b3-822e-cd073d31791c\/\">Register Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance Reviews in Workday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Year-End Performance reviews kicked off in mid-April.
