3.05    Confidentiality of Student Records

The University complies with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and, in so doing, protects the access to and confidentiality of personally identifiable educational records of students and former students.  Care should be taken that no personally identifiable information other than “directory information” is released without the written authorization of the student.  Each staff member is individually responsible for complying with FERPA, and violations may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.  Contact the Registrar for more information.  (Refer to Policy 01:210)

University employees must maintain the highest levels of integrity and objectivity in the performance of their duties.

The University expects employees to know and follow applicable provisions of the Alabama Ethics Act. Failure to comply with this Act can result in civil and/or criminal penalties, in addition to disciplinary action, including termination. The University also expects employees to take all reasonable precautions to ensure that their outside financial interests do not place them in conflict with carrying out their duties and responsibilities as University employees. (Refer to Policy 01:030)

3.07    Electronic Mail

E-mail is considered an official medium for communicating with staff.  All staff are responsible for checking their University e-mail accounts in a timely fashion and on a regular basis.

The record of hours worked and lost time (vacation, sick leave, military duty leave, or other time missed) is a basic source of information for payroll purposes and should reflect an actual accounting of time.  The report is to be completed electronically each month by the employee and should be checked for accuracy before being electronically approved by the supervisor/department head by the established deadline.

For non-exempt staff, actual hours worked, vacation taken, sick leave used, military leave used, or other time missed should be recorded.

For exempt staff, vacation taken, sick leave used and military leave used should be reported.

For temporary employees, actual hours worked should be reported to Payroll by the supervisor/department head.

Non-exempt and temporary employees are not permitted to work before or after their scheduled times or to work more than 40 hours in a workweek, unless authorized by the department head.  See Section 4.03, Overtime, for additional information.
