Human Resources
NEW EMPLOYEES MUST REPORT TO SDSU RESEARCH FOUNDATION’S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT BY THE FIRST DAY OF EMPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS POLICY MAY RESULT IN DENIAL OF EMPLOYMENT.
SDSU Research Foundation personnel policies and procedures are based on, or required by, various federal and state regulations. Failure to follow proper personnel practices not only negatively impacts SDSU Research Foundation employees but can also result in legal penalties, including the cancellation of government grants and contracts and personal liability to supervisors and PIs. Services are available to project personnel in areas such as: position classification, employee recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, affirmative action, orientation and training, performance evaluation, organization and manpower planning, employee relations, and discipline and discharge.
SDSU Research Foundation’s policy is that only the director of human resources or designee within the human resources department has the legal authority to establish pay, appoint, reappoint, discipline, discharge or change any employee’s work status in any way. Any oral or written promises by any other person (including supervisors and PIs) are not binding upon SDSU Research Foundation. This policy protects supervisors, project directors and PIs from personal liability.
