Policies

• Parental Leave– http://provost.unlv.edu/downloads/parental_leave_policy.pdf

  There is no single, comprehensive Nevada System of Higher Education policy pertaining to parental leave. Rather, various NSHE policies address annual leave, sick leave, and family medical leave. In addition, various UNLV practices pertain to parental leave situations involving faculty. NSHE policies and related UNLV practices can be found in the HR parental leave policy.

• Flexible Work Schedule– http://www.unlv.edu/sites/default/files/24/HR-FlexProcedures.pdfIt has been the practice of UNLV to allow the use of flexible work schedules where it is a viable work option, and based on the individual circumstances of an employee and the ability for the department to meet the work needs.  UNLV recognizes how such work options have benefited employees when both operational and employee personal needs can be addressed. This flexibility is available to all full-time, regular, classified employees; faculty and professional staff as determined by the operational needs of the work group and upon approval of the appropriate supervisor. For more information please see HR Flex procedures @ http://www.unlv.edu/sites/default/files/24/HR-FlexProcedures.pdf or contact UNLV HR at 702-895-3504.
