BU Employee Handbook.

Boston University provides policies and resources for all staff. A full list of policies is available at BU Policies Central (bu.edu/policies), and particularly relevant policies are available in the BU Employee Handbook (bu.edu/policies/employee-handbook-human-resources-policies-manual) or at BU Staff Central (bu.edu/staff/). All SPH policies align with University policies, and the University policy takes precedent in any cases of disagreement.
