Human Resources policies and procedures establish a framework and set standards that guide how staff members should conduct themselves as employees and members of the broader Princeton community.  In concert with Rights, Rules, Responsibilities and other University policies and procedures, this library contains policies that govern various aspects of conduct, leaves of absence, and roles and responsibilities, including how individuals perform their jobs, make decisions, interact with one another and manage the business operations of the University.  It also provides information about resources and relevant federal, state and local legislation.

Rights, Rules, Responsibilities is intended to provide a concise reference and guide for all members of the Princeton University community. Included here are brief statements of University policies most likely to be applicable to and of interest to all University constituencies. For further information on particular aspects of policies and procedures — or their application to particular situations — consult Section 2 "Students and the University" (orange pages) or the policy manuals available from the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and the Office of Human Resources.
