College of Central Florida is made up of groups - students, faculty and staff. Because each group is important in fulfilling the role and mission of the college, information is needed by individuals within each group to help them contribute to success in reaching mutually adopted goals. This handbook is designed to help employees become part of the CF family, and it describes the benefits of working for the college. Having a common foundation for action will enable each of us to share the pride that comes from working in a good college that serves students well.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide College of Central Florida employees with information about policies, procedures, applicable benefits, services, and activities that will assist with carrying out responsibilities at CF. Provisions applying solely to faculty are described in the Faculty Handbook, located at inside.CF.edu under Manuals/Procedures. Student employment is addressed in the Federal Work-Study Student Handbook located at inside.CF.edu under Forms, Faculty/Student Specific. It is the responsibility of each employee to become familiar with the contents of this handbook. College of Central Florida reserves the right to make changes in the content, as needed.
All employees of CF are governed by the policies of the District Board of Trustees. The policies are all based on the legal authority of the State Board of Education rules. In turn, State Board of Education rules are derived from the authority given by Florida statutes, general laws and special laws that have been passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor of Florida.
All proposed policies and revisions are placed on the board agenda; copies of the agenda may be obtained one week before every board meeting. Policies and Procedures are available at the CF website, www.CF.edu. The board meetings are normally held on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
This handbook is not a legal document, nor is it intended to address all situations and circumstances that could occur during employment. It does not create, amend, or abolish any legal right, federal, state, or local law. It is general in nature and is not an employment contract for any definite term, nor does it alter the traditional at-will employment relationship. If an employee has difficulty finding a specific policy or needs additional information regarding employee rights and responsibilities, they may contact the Human Resources Office or the Office of Administration and Finance.
