ABOUT THE HANDBOOK
The Washington College Handbook was created to give employees a reference guide to working at Washington College. The Handbook contained College Policies, procedures, benefits, and important information for new employees. The Handbook was issued to new employees upon the start of their employment.
REVISING THE HANDBOOK
As of December 2013, most College Policies have been reviewed and revised. To read more about the policy revisions and new policies, please review the College Policy Revisions Powerpoint presented to Faculty and Staff at the Policy Forums on January 9-10, 2014.
The handbook has been updated approximately every 5 years. Starting in 2014, the College plans to review and revise College Policies on a regular basis.

- Is the policy relevant to the current college programs, procedures and benefits?

- Does the policy contain confusing or unnecessary language?
- Are the figures and data contained in the policy accurate and current?
