Last week HR announced that the Executive Policy Approval Committee (EPAC) had approved adding Policy 750, Children in the Workplace or Classroom, to the Employee Handbook.

If you want to provide feedback, please email Wendy Jones.

Executive Policy Approval Committee (EPAC) has approved adding Policy 750, Children in the Workplace or Classroom, to the Employee Handbook. This policy applies to all faculty, staff and students at ACU. ACU values its employees and students and recognizes the importance that families fulfill in the lives of employees and students. These guidelines address and outline the circumstances under which it is appropriate to bring non-student, minor children to the workplace or classroom. The guidelines are intended to foster respect for the needs of all parties impacted by the presence of non-student, minor children on the campus, in the workplace, or the classroom. View the full policy here.

If you are interested in wanting to serve alongside the Chartwells team, please fill out the sign-up sheet with the designated time slot of availability. Please sign up by Friday, May 5.
