Maintenance and Changes - Office and Project Manuals Sample Clauses

Maintenance and Changes - Office and Project Manuals. ‌ LSC operates in a dynamic environment in which changes and modifications to policies and procedures sometimes are necessary to ensure compliance with new mandates, including new best practices, regulatory changes, or board directives. Manual provisions will be updated periodically to reflect all such changes. If the Director of an office has a change he or she would like to make to his or her office’s Manual or a project manual, they are encouraged to speak and consult with their staff about the potential change. The Office Director will submit the proposed changes to the General Counsel. Changes in office procedures will be made in consultation with LSC’s President, Vice President for Grants Management, Director of Human Resources, and the General Counsel, as appropriate, to ensure conformity and consistency with standing policies and procedures. Following management review, but prior to the publication and implementation of the new policy, the Union will have an opportunity to review the proposed change. Responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of each section in the Manual will reside with the Director of the office or his or her designee. Requests for revisions or updates may be initiated by any staff member by forwarding a written request to the Director of the appropriate office outlining the proposed changes and rationale. All changes will be written clearly and succinctly to avoid ambiguity or multiple interpretations. When Manual changes involve new protocols or guidelines or significant departures from current practice for which training is necessary, training will be provided to staff.
