institutional human resources policies, regulations, and rules that apply to employees who are covered by the State Human Resources Act (SHRA). Such campus policies,
regulations, and rules, which may be adopted and amended by the University from time to time are intended to comply with changes to state and federal law or as may be required by UNC SO.

3. The State Human Resources Policies website contains policies that apply to positions
covered by the SHRA.

4. The grievance policy for NC State employees who are subject to the SHRA is the UNC SO SHRA Employee Grievance Policy . This policy exists to allow for prompt, fair and orderly resolution of disputes arising out of employment.

5. NC State’s Human Resources (HR) website provides information on many topics covered by the OSHR policy manual. The HR website makes every effort to accurately reflect current state human resources policies, although information may be presented in summary or interpretive form. To the extent that there may be any conflict between
information on HR’s website and an actual policy or regulation, the policy or regulation shall govern.
