Employment

This Guide Memo provides guidance on when and how to use corrective action (including termination of employment) to deal with unsatisfactory performance, misconduct, or a combination of both.

The Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA") prohibits employers from discriminating against employees who fulfill non-career military obligations in the Uniformed Services. It also requires employers to provide a leave of absence to allow employees to perform military obligations. Separately, the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") entitles eligible employees to take leave for a "qualifying exigency" when a covered family member is called to active duty or to care for a covered family member who is injured in the line of duty.

This policy provides military leaves as required by these and other laws and complies with the other relevant provisions of USERRA, other related regulations or as approved by Stanford University.

This Guide Memo outlines Stanford University's policies and procedures for carrying out the temporary or permanent layoff of employees.

This Guide memo outlines the policy to resolve employee complaints at Stanford through a formal grievance process and is designed specifically for regular employees as defined in the "Applicability" section.

Employee complaints covered by the Grievance Process include written corrective action and involuntary termination (including layoff) only. The Grievance Process does not include other employee complaints such as performance appraisals, compensation/benefits or job classifications.
