Policies and Procedures form an essential part of an organisation's tools to ensure the smooth operation of its day to day business. They establish the parameters for decision-making and action while ensuring fairness and consistency throughout the organisation.

The policies and procedures, which are listed here in the Human Resources website, are the most up to date versions, which are being used within the University.

All Policies and Procedures are written in respect of full time employees. They should be applied on a pro-rata basis for staff who work less than full time hours i.e. part time, where applicable. 

They are revised on an ongoing basis in order to comply with changes in Collective Agreements or legislation. 

If you have any comments on any of the Policies or Procedures please email them to hr@universityofgalway.ie or contact your local Human Resources Business Partner.

If you are unable to locate the policy or procedure you are looking for please email hr@universityofgalway.ie or if you require cóip as gaeilge email hr@universityofgalway.ie
