Revisions were made to this policy in accordance with System model policy and to reflect current procedures for educating our students, faculty, and staff about the methods of transmission and prevention of HIV infection.
This policy was revised to update the guidance for interpreting policies. Specifically, the list of terms which impose a duty ("must," "shall," etc.) and those which create a discretionary authority ("should," "may," etc.) were expanded. Also, global definitions of terms which are used throughout the UNT Policy Manual have been established in this policy, negating the need to redefine the terms repeatedly. Lastly, other language was expanded and clarified, including terminology around the objective to minimize the amount of procedure in UNT policies.
Revisions to policy 05.053, Time and Attendance/Leave Records, include: addition of policy definitions, removal of obsolete procedural information, and revised content to provide clarity around time and attendance reporting requirements for salaried exempt, salaried non-exempt, and hourly employees as well as employee and supervisor responsibilities for compliance with federal and state time and attendance reporting requirements. This policy was revised according to the new UNT System model policy, and combines 05.053, 05.029 Absence/Attendance, and 10.041 Time Sheets.
