Employee Relations Policies

Policy Statement

The University of Arizona is committed to creating an effective, safe and secure environment for those who live, learn and work here.

Under Arizona law, A.R.S. § 38-448, a university employee may not use university owned or leased computer equipment "to access, download, print or store any information infrastructure files or services that depict nudity, sexual activity, sexual excitement or sexual acts" unless the employee has written approval from the "agency head."

The University supports recognition of outstanding employee contributions at all organizational levels. Departments, colleges and divisions are encouraged to develop their own employee recognition programs to complement university-level programs. Activities for such departmental recognition programs are especially encouraged during Employee Recognition Week, held each year in the month of April. Resources are available at the Employee Recognition web page.

The University prohibits the use of its assets for solicitation for the purpose of selling goods or services to and by all members of the campus community, including employees and non-employees. Examples of prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, scheduled work time, non-requested visits to work areas during or outside of business hours, and the use of university telephones, email, and mail services for the purpose of solicitation.

All employees are expected to conduct their personal business affairs in a manner that will not bring discredit to the University. The University will not serve as agent for the collection of indebtedness claims against employees and complainants. Only those claims that are presently collectible under the law will be honored.

GARNISHMENTS

Garnishments against earnings issued by Arizona courts will be honored in accordance with their terms. Garnishments obtained by creditors are served by courts directly to the Financial Services Operations Office.
