Introduction 1 1. INTRODUCTION Using This Handbook The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with information about your employment with the DEPARTMENT of LICENSING and REGULATORY Affairs (LARA), as well as the State of Michigan. Links are provided to specific policies, procedures, and related forms for your use. You should use those links to read the policies and explanations to understand the additional details housed elsewhere on the LARA HR and Civil Service web pages.

8 The information covers topics of concern to most employees including: pay and fringe benefits, attendance and leave usage, conduct and responsibilities, personnel practices, employee relations, and other DEPARTMENT policies that may impact employee behavior or conduct. This handbook is not a contract and does not confer on employees any rights or powers beyond their bargaining unit agreement and/or Civil Service Rules and Regulations. It may be amended in whole or in part, from time to time, at the discretion of the DEPARTMENT of LICENSING and REGULATORY Affairs Director. In the event of a conflict between Civil Service Rules or a Bargaining Unit Contract (CBA) and this handbook, the Rules or CBA will govern. This applies both to conflicting information at the time of publication and conflicts resulting from later changes to Civil Service Rules or CBAs. Employment under the Michigan Civil Service system is subject to evaluation of performance.

9 Reference to career employment or career positions must not be construed as a guarantee of employment without restrictions.
