Section 20: General Employment Practices

Moving Expense Provision

A hiring department may elect to provide relocation assistance when hiring new managers in positions paid at Level J or higher who currently reside outside the PCC district. Relocation assistance must be approved by the appropriate Executive Officer prior to it being offered to the candidate. The amount paid shall be based on actual moving expenses allowable by IRS regulations, up to a maximum of $5,000. The amount of reimbursement will be determined by the hiring manager in consultation with their Human Resources Representative and will consider such factors as the distance of the move. The hiring department is responsible for paying the cost of the move. To be eligible for this reimbursement, the expenses must be fully documented by receipts and must take place within one year of appointment. No other employees are eligible for moving expenses. This provision does not apply to Executive staff.

Outside Employment

No full-time College employee may assume any outside employment that interferes with regular College duties.

Reimbursement for Loss or Damage of College Property through Negligence or Deliberate Acts

The employee shall be expected to reimburse the College for any loss or damage to College property in the amount that the College deems reasonable after written notification which shall be included in the official personnel file. The employee has a right to a written response within 30 days and to file a grievance concerning such claim. Arrangements shall be made to reimburse the College through the Vice President of Administration.

The College reserves the right to pursue legal recourse for reimbursement for loss or damage of College property in the event the employee has been dismissed.
