  <title><![CDATA[USG Shares HR Policy Updates]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The University System of Georgia (USG) recently shared amendments to eight policies in the Human Resources Administrative Practice (HRAP) Manual. The HRAP is the system-wide resource that defines policy and procedures for USG employees. Committed to the highest ethical and professional standards of conduct in pursuit of its mission to create knowledge, the USG periodically reviews system-wide policies and procedures to realize this goal, and to ensure that policies are consistent and effective.&nbsp;</p>

<p>All Georgia Tech employees should be aware of each policy and the <a href="https://hr.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/2022-11/Details%20of%20HRAP%20Policy%20Changes_September%202022_2.pdf">recent changes</a>. The updates are a part of ongoing efforts by the USG to clarify processes and procedures and include updated guidance that meets the current need of the university system. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
