Human Resources Policies and Procedures have been developed to guide the actions and govern the rights of employees at the University of Southern Queensland.  The policies and procedures contain policies approved by the Council of the University along with associated procedures which are amended from time to time.

They have been developed by the University's Human Resources Department in consultation with a range of employees and nominated representatives.  The policy and procedures reflect the Enterprise Agreement 2010 - 2013 which provides the employee relations framework for the management of human resources. 

These policies and procedures are for use within the University and the information is believed to be reliable and current at the time of publication.

For the purposes of these policies and procedures, the term University means University of Southern Queensland.
