Staff Handbook

Introduction to the Staff Handbook

This handbook is addressed to ΒιΆΉΤ­΄΄ (β€œthe College”) staff employees. It is intended to provide general guidance on policies of the College and on the benefits and services of ΒιΆΉΤ­΄΄ and The Claremont Colleges.

This handbook is not a contract between the College and its employees. The employment relationship between staff members and the College is at-will.

This handbook supersedes all previous handbooks and policies, except for at-will employment, which may only be changed by a written document signed by the President of the College. It also supersedes prior management memoranda that conflict with its content.

Policies and information in this handbook are subject to change at the discretion of the College. Changes will be communicated and will take effect on dates determined by the College.

For more detailed information on current policies, consult your supervisor or the Office of Human Resources.

The Office of Human Resources

The Office of Human Resources (β€œHuman Resources”) is available to answer questions about employment, benefits, working conditions, and personnel matters. It also serves as liaison with the Claremont University Consortium (CUC) Office of Benefits Administration.

Contact Human Resources at (909) 621-8254 or hr@pitzer.edu. The office is located in McConnell Center, Suite 310, and is open 8:00 am–12:00 pm and 1:00 pm–5:00 pm.

Your Supervisor

Your supervisor is the person who directly oversees your work responsibilities, including scheduling, performance evaluation, and attendance tracking.

If you do not know your supervisor’s name, contact Human Resources.

Your First Days of Employment

New employees receive onboarding materials and attend a New Hire Orientation with Human Resources. Employees must acknowledge receipt of the handbook and agree to comply with its policies.

Additional departmental and benefits information will be provided during onboarding.

Employee Identification Card

Eligible employees receive a photo ID card upon hire. This card must be carried on campus and shown upon request. It remains college property and must be returned upon termination of employment.

Lost or missing ID cards can be replaced through Human Resources at (909) 621-8254 or hr@pitzer.edu.
