Please Note: The Virginia Tech Classified and University Employee Handbook is subject to revision.
All new salaried non-faculty staff, including transfers from other state agencies, hired on or after July 1, 2006 are governed by the provisions of the Restructuring Act and are considered University Staff employees subject to the University Human Resources policies. Until such time as the new University Human Resource System and policies are developed, University Staff are covered by the existing policies and benefits for Classified Staff, with minor revisions noted in the relevant policies.
Virginia Tech Classified employees hired prior to July 1, 2006, will remain Classified Staff even if they receive transfers or promotions to other Virginia Tech Staff positions. All wage employees (regardless of hire date) are hired as Hourly Wage and are covered under University Human Resources policies related to wage employment. See Virginia Tech Policy 4010, Human Resources Policies Governing University Staff.
University Staff are affected by changes to University Human Resource policies and benefits just as Classified Staff are affected by changes to State Human Resource policies and benefits. Once the new University Human Resource System is in place, Classified Staff will be given the opportunity to convert to University Staff at the time of transfer/promotions within Virginia Tech and during the university's enrollment period(at least once every two years).
