Welcome to the USM/UMB On-Line Policies and Procedures System.
This system will allow you to display and print any of the USM policies
contained in the "Bylaws, Policies and Procedures of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Maryland," many of which are preceded by a "UMB Policy
Guidelines/Procedures," explaining the campus application of the specific
USM policy that follows. Most of the information you will need about policies
and procedures will be available at this website.
Prior to January 1, 2000, many of the Board of Regents policies were written to
cover both Exempt and Nonexempt employees. As you use the web site, please note
that these policies refer to "classified and administrative", "classified and
unclassified" and "classified and associate staff." In the Personnel Section under
Policy VII-i-Clarification Notice, the term "classified" in the title of a policy
is explained to refer and apply to "nonexempt staff". Policy VII-i goes on to
explain "administrative", "unclassified" and "associate staff" in the title of
a policy refer and apply to "exempt staff".
At the time of the implementation of the "Exempt Pay Program", a number of policies were approved specifically for exempt
staff. For exempt staff, these policies would take the place of any policy that contains a
reference to the terms for exempt staff explained above. The specific exempt policies
issued cover the following areas: Work Schedule, Annual/Holiday/Personal Leave,
Reinstatement, Separation (for cause, by notice, probation), Reassignment, Layoff,
and Vesting. When searching the web site for a particular policy, users should
check the adjacent policies for a specific subject (e.g., annual leave) to determine
if a policy for exempt staff only is in effect.
Every effort is made to maintain accurate and up-to-date information.
However, policies and procedures are always subject to change, and there may
be some delay in updating the system. Questions concerning the status of any
policy should be addressed to:
