Statewide HR Policies
The following statewide policies are issued by the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA), Human Resources Division (HRD). These policies apply to all state government agencies, boards and commissions under the ADOA Personnel System.

These policies and procedures replace earlier versions, which are no longer printed or distributed. The ADOA Director, or designee, reserves the right to modify, revoke, suspend, terminate or change any of the provisions of these policies and procedures, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice.

These policies and procedures do not create rights or privileges for employees nor add duties or responsibilities for management. The failure of a supervisor to follow any procedure in these policies and procedures shall not create any rights for any subordinate employee. No contract of employment is created by these policies and procedures. Nothing in these policies and procedures should be interpreted to conflict with Federal or State laws or rules. If a conflict is discovered, the appropriate laws or rules control.

State of Arizona employees who are covered by the ADOA Personnel Rules are granted certain rights and responsibilities under those Rules. However, no employee acquires employee rights in excess of, or in addition to those authorized under the ADOA Personnel Rules or Arizona Revised Statutes.
