acquaint you with the Schools of the Sacred Heart – San Francisco (the “School”) and provide you with information about working conditions, Employee benefits, and policies and procedures affecting your employment. It contains general statements of School policy and procedure, which the School reserves the right to apply at its sole discretion based on the facts of individual situations (or in consideration of other factors it deems pertinent) and in preservation of the best interests of the School. All Employees should be aware that violation of School policies and procedures may subject the Employee to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment. No Employee handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about policy. The School reserves the right to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the handbook from time to time, as it deems appropriate and at its discretion. The School continually strives to maintain excellent communications with all faculty and staff members. The Human Resource Office works diligently to keep the handbook up to date and to keep all Employees informed as policy changes occur from time to time during the normal course of business. This edition of the handbook replaces and supersedes all prior versions. Please understand, however, that there may be times when policy will change (at the sole discretion of the President and Board of Trustees) before the written document can be revised and distributed to all Employees. History The Society of the Sacred Heart was founded in France in 1800 by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. The Order, known as the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (RSCJ), was brought to the United States in 1818 by St. Rose Philippine Duchesne. There are nearly 3,500 RSCJ working in 45 countries and associated with more than 200 schools and colleges around the world. In North America, 24 schools comprise the Network of Sacred Heart Schools; all are guided by and committed to the same philosophy as articulated in the five Goals & Criteria. The RSCJ opened the first Sacred Heart School west of the Rockies in San Francisco in 1887, opening a K-12 School for girls on Bush Street. As the School grew, it moved to a different location until it was established at 2700 Jackson Street, where it remained for 31 years. In 1939, Mrs. Maude Lee Flood gave her family home, the Flood Mansion at 2222 Broadway to the RSCJ, who subsequently acquired the three neighboring homes as well. The Grant House became Convent of the Sacred Heart Elementary School (girls K-8) in 1950 and the Hammond Schools of the Sacred Heart – San Francisco 2017-18 Employee Handbook 8 House became Stuart Hall for Boys (boys K-8) in 1956. In 1986, the Herbst House was purchased to provide additional space for the elementary Schools. Convent of the Sacred Heart High School (girls 9-12) stayed in the Flood Mansion. Additional spaces were constructed on the Broadway campus to accommodate a growing student population, and a second campus was acquired in 2000 so that the School could add a boys’ high school program, Stuart Hall High School, which opened in the Fall of 2000. San Francisco was the first of the Network schools to offer a complete K-12, single-sex program for young women and young men. The School remains connected to the Society through its membership in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools.

  • Faqs About Retirement Plans and ERISA
    FAQs about Retirement Plans and ERISA U.S. Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration What is ERISA? The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, protects the assets of millions of Americans so that funds placed in retirement plans during their working lives will be there when they retire. ERISA is a federal law that sets minimum standards for retirement plans in private industry. For example, if your employer maintains a retirement plan, ERISA specifies when you must be allowed to become a participant, how long you have to work before you have a non-forfeitable interest in your benefit, how long you can be away from your job before it might affect your benefit, and whether your spouse has a right to part of your benefit in the event of your death. Most of the provisions of ERISA are effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1975. ERISA does not require any employer to establish a retirement plan. It only requires that those who establish plans must meet certain minimum standards. The law generally does not specify how much money a participant must be paid as a benefit. ERISA does the following: Requires plans to provide participants with information about the plan including important information about plan features and funding. The plan must furnish some information regularly and automatically. Some is available free of charge, some is not. Sets minimum standards for participation, vesting, benefit accrual and funding. The law defines how long a person may be required to work before becoming eligible to participate in a plan, to accumulate benefits, and to have a non-forfeitable right to those benefits.

  • Mentoring Program Protege Handbook
    Mentoring Program Protégé Handbook Center for Professional Excellence Mentoring Program Mission Statement The mission of the Center for Professional Excellence Mentoring Program is development of students through self-formation and early professional preparation, the hallmark of The Elmhurst Experience. Introduction Simply stated, mentoring is a helping relationship in which a more experienced person (the Mentor) assumes limited responsibility for assisting a less experienced person (the Protégé) in order to enhance the probability that the less experienced person will develop and grow professionally and personally. This relationship can focus on a particular career or profession as the Protégé is ready to consider these specifics. It always addresses the Protégé’s personal development to shed light on the question, “What sort of professional would I like to become?” In order to assist the Protégé in navigating the mentoring process, workshops have been developed. The design of the Protégé Workshop is to give Protégés an understanding of their role and responsibilities as a Protégé; become familiar with the Mentoring Program Policies and Procedures; understand and appreciate the importance of establishing the mentoring relationship; and discover how to become an active participant in their personal and professional development. Table of Contents I. Introduction II. Design and Goals of the Program III. The Protégé’s Role IV. Establishing the Mentoring Relationship V. Developing the Mentoring Relationship VI. What Mentors look for in a Protégé VII. Possible Mentoring Topics I. Introduction Research has shown that people can and have benefited from mentoring relationships. It is also known that mentoring relationships can be designed and structured to benefit particular groups of people.
