The Commonwealth of Virginia and Old Dominion University have established rules of personal conduct and standards of acceptable work performance for employees. Violations of the established rules and/or unacceptable work performance may result in the imposition of disciplinary action. This action is intended to be a corrective measure and shall not be based on race, color, religion, national origin, political affiliation, gender, disability, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation.

Objective:

This policy sets forth standards for professional conduct, behavior that is unacceptable, and corrective action that may be imposed to address behavior and employment problems.

Employees To Whom Policy Applies:

This policy applies to positions covered by the Virginia Personnel Act including full-time and part-time classified and restricted employees. Employees who are serving probationary periods are not covered by the Standards of Conduct. Any violation or unacceptable work performance during the probationary period may lead to the immediate dismissal.
