Human Resources


Thanks to all of the principle investigators and supervisors who attended the January 23rd informational session. At the meeting, we discussed Hektoen's revised Employee Handbook, the current collective bargaining agreement with SEIU Local 20, and employee conflict resolution. For those who were unable to attend, we will provide the information to you . In addition, we would like to emphasize the following from the meeting:

Collective bargaining If you have union employees working in your department, please inform yourself on the new details of the collective bargaining agreement and contact Hektoen Human Resources (HR) with any questions.

Employee discipline or termination Contact Hektoen HR before you take action to discipline or terminate an employee.

Employee grievances Immediately contact the Human Resources department to discuss the grievance and how to conduct the investigation—in all cases where an employee has submitted a grievance against another employee or supervisor.

Hiring Contact the HR department to complete the "Approval to Hire" form and job description. For more information on hiring please refer to Hektoen's hiring procedures available through the Hektoen website.

Hektoen's Human Resources is available to help you navigate all personnel and benefit concerns. Please call the Hektoen Human Resources staff at any time with questions regarding personnel, benefits, hiring, discipline, terminations, job postings, and any HR-related issues.
