Human Resources: Employee Handbook and Contents

Easy access to the University’s employee handbook and employment/workplace policies has been a goal of the Office of Human Resources for several years. We are pleased to offer for your review and reference these policies. Information contained in this handbook and its policies are vital to an employee’s understanding of their work at the University of Portland, their benefits, and how to make the most of their work experience while a member of our university community. Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Human Resources if you have questions or concerns or need additional information.
