21 POLICY UPDATES: SPRING 2015 HR Forum
22
22 Reduction in Force A staff member who is affected by a reduction-in- force who declines a comparable position (or an interview for a comparable position) within one year of notification will be considered to have resigned Upon the end of the 60-day notice period, Declining an interview/ offer of a comparable position or stopping work, whichever occurs first, the staff member's pay will stop
23
23 Sexual Misconduct Policy Any university employee, including any faculty member, who becomes aware of an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a student is expected to notify the Office of Student Conduct with the names of the parties involved and details of the allegation. Allegations may also be reported to Duke Police. University employees who serve in a professional role in which communication is privileged under North Carolina law (e.g., medical providers at Student Health, therapists at CAPS, Women’s Center staff, clergy who are acting in their professional role at Duke) are not bound by this expectation, except as required by law.
24
24 Same Sex Spousal Equivalency Policy Historical Purpose 20+ years – Extend access to benefits to same-sex couples as the rights and legal status of marriage had not been available in NC Last year, NC court ruling now provides same-sex couples the same legal access to marry as opposite-sex couples
25
25 Effective 1/1/16 Newly hired faculty and staff must be legally married to cover their partner or partner’s child under Duke’s benefits and applicable policies – Ex. health plan coverage, children’s tuition grant, sick leave, etc. Does not impact employees hired prior to 1/1/16 – All employees with a continuous service date prior to 1/1/16 are grandfathered under current SSSE eligibility guidelines. – No change regarding tax treatment if unmarried (unless qualify as dependent under tax code).
