INTRODUCTION
The State of Vermont Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual is designed to set forth the policies and
procedures currently in effect in State government, and to establish the requirements for initiating changes and
revising such policies.
This manual is designed to further the following goals:
- To provide a uniform system of human resource administration throughout State government.
- To assist managers in the development of sound management practices and procedures, and to make effective
consistent use of human resources throughout State government.
- To promote effective communication among managers, supervisors and employees.
- To ensure, protect, and clarify the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and employees.
These policies and procedures are intended to serve as guidelines to assist in the uniform and consistent
administration of personnel policy. This policy manual is designed to provide essential information on how to
accomplish agency/department mission within the administrative framework of Vermont State Government.
NOTE: This manual is not, nor are any of its provisions intended to be, part of a contract between the State and any
of its employees. None of these provisions shall be deemed to create a vested contractual right in any employee
and the State reserves the right to repeal or modify these policies or procedures. These policies and procedures
are not to be interpreted as promises of specific treatment. They provide general guidance with respect to the
practice and procedure which has developed pursuant to the collective bargaining agreements, rules and
regulations, and statutes governing employment matters. In the final analysis, however, the legal rights of
employees are those which are created by the agreements, regulations, and statutes, and this manual is intended
not to expand nor diminish those rights.
