  1. The grievance policy for NC State employees who are subject to the SHRA is the UNC-GA SHRA Employee Grievance Policy. This policy exists to allow for prompt, fair and orderly resolution of disputes arising out of employment.
  2. NC State’s Human Resources (HR) website, including its A-Z index, 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.
