Purpose
This handbook is designed to acquaint you with the employment policies and
benefits for exempt / administrative and non-exempt / administrative support staff

changes in policies and employee benefits as it considers in the best interest of
the Smith community. Changes in these policies will be available online under the "What's
News in HR" section following their adoption. This handbook contains summaries
and general overviews; it is not all-inclusive. For details or clarification of the
information in this handbook or specific benefit plan regulations and documents,
please contact the Office of Human Resources at (413) 585-2270. Staff Handbook updates,
for most employees, will be available online. For those who do not have computer
access, paper copies will be available in the Office of Human Resources.
Responsibility
Policy changes or modifications are within the sole discretion of the college,
acting through the Associate VP for Human Resources, the President, and/or the
Board of Trustees. No other college official or representative has the authority

any employee, or to make oral or written promises or commitments regarding issues
covered by these policies.
Each member of the college community is responsible

these or any college policies or procedures may be disciplined. The policies summarized
in this handbook have been adopted voluntarily by Smith College and do not constitute
