Scope notes

Human Resources (General)
Use for records relating to university and departmental human resources in general but which do not fall under any other primary in this subject heading. Note that the secondaries "Policy, Procedures, Standards," "General," "Planning," "Reports and Statistics," "Special Projects," and "Reference and Information Files" can also be attached to any other primary if needed. See How to Use the Model Classification Plan for more details regarding generic secondaries.
Employee Relations
Use for records relating to employee relations and general correspondence with employee bargaining units.
Grievances

Job Description, Classification and Compensation
Use for records relating to the establishment, maintenance and review of job descriptions, classifications and compensation. Use "Position Evaluation Case Files" for the working records of a position establishment or review. A separate series of Job Descriptions (including current and superseded or obsolete descriptions) should be maintained to facilitate review. Open one file for each position. When a new job description is signed by the employee, put the signed original on the employee's personnel file and a copy on the Job Description file. Attach to each file an Appointment Log sheet to record the names of the persons appointed to the position and the dates of their appointment. Close files at the end of the calendar year they become too full (about 3 cm).

Use for records relating to employee health and safety issues. Accident Reports are scheduled under RRSDA 1998-032.
Pensions and Benefits
Use for records relating to employee pension and benefits.
