UST Employee Handbook

The Employee Handbook provides reference to guidelines, procedures, benefits, and general information pertinent to University of St. Thomas administrative employees. "Administrative employees" include all employees with the exception of faculty, students, and temporary employees. All administrative employees are responsible for accessing the Employee Handbook and for reading and complying with the contents therein.

The information in this handbook is in effect at the sole discretion of management and it may be withdrawn or changed at any time without notice. This handbook is not intended nor shall it be construed as a binding contract. This handbook shall replace any previously distributed employee handbook.

All benefits summarized here are explained in greater detail in separate booklets and/or Summary Plan Descriptions, given to benefit eligible employees at the time of hire or benefit eligibility. The information in the handbook is not intended to replace official Policies and Procedures, Plan Documents or Summary Plan Descriptions. See the Benefits site for more information.

The Employee Handbook is published on the Human Resource website for easy access for employees and provides an avenue for maintaining current information for employees.  There is also a printable Employee Handbook (PDF) for those employees who wish to print specific pages or the entire handbook.  Employees who do not have on-line access to the handbook may contact Human Resources for a printed copy.
