���app

In addition to the policies and procedures set forth in the ���app Employee Handbook (“Handbook”), the information set forth in a particular state addendum applies only to those ���app employees working in the state of the applicable addendum. The state addendum modifies the Handbook as set forth below.

��

In the event of a conflict between the Handbook and any provision of an applicable Addendum, the conflict will be resolved as follows:

��

• If a benefit provided by the University is more generous than the benefit provided in the applicable Addendum, the University will offer the employee the more generous benefit unless such benefit is limited by statute (e.g., to residents of or employees working in Colorado).

��

• If a University policy or procedure provides an employee with more protection than that provided under the applicable Addendum, the University’s more protective policy or procedure will apply to internal University processes, and the policy or procedure specified in the applicable Addendum will apply to external proceedings in the applicable state or local agency.

��

For example, if the University’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy includes more protected statuses than a particular state provides, the University’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy�� and the applicable procedures established by the Office of Equal Opportunity & Title IX (EOIX) will apply to a report or complaint filed with EOIX.�� For a complaint filed with the state or local civil rights agency, the protections afforded under the state Addendum will apply.

��

Employees with questions about the Handbook or any applicable Addendum should contact their HR Partner at AskHRPartners@du.edu.
