Pre-Employment

In our efforts to employ qualified persons at LOYOLA, all candidates for employment will be subject to a background investigation. Former employers, personal references, and educational institutions may be contacted. Falsification, omission, or misrepresentation of information will be cause for denial of employment. If falsification or omissions are discovered after employment, the employee is subject to immediate termination.

The Human Resources Department will conduct all pre-employment investigations.

Reference Requests from Outside Companies

All inquiries regarding a current or former LOYOLA employee must be referred to the Human Resources Department. Supervisors and employees are not permitted to release any information.

Should an employee receive a written request for a reference, the employee shall refer the request to the Human Resources Department for handling. LOYOLA employees are not permitted to issue a reference letter on any current or former employee.

LOYOLA employees are not permitted to release information about any current or former LOYOLA employee over the telephone. All telephone inquiries regarding a current or former employee of LOYOLA must be referred to the Human Resources Department.

In response to an outside request for information regarding a current or former LOYOLA employee, the Human Resources Department will verify or furnish only an employee’s name, dates of employment, and job title. No other data or information regarding any current or former LOYOLA employee will be furnished unless LOYOLA is required by law to furnish the information.

Current employees are permitted to give a personal reference, however, the reference will not be Company endorsed. Company letterhead may not be used for personal references.

Requests for Employment Information for Employee Personal Business

In order to facilitate personal business, an employee may request the Human Resources Manager to release employment date, job title, and salary information by telephone or fax.

  1. Progress is satisfactory
  2. Reevaluate on a specified date
  3. Termination

When the employee’s progress is satisfactory, the employee will continue in LOYOLA’S employment as an at-will employee.

When the supervisor notates areas of concern relative to the employee’s performance, reevaluation may be scheduled for a specified date (no later than 90 days). The time frame is based on the seriousness of the performance problem and the length of time required to improve performance.

When the supervisor deems there are performance and/or attendance problems and the employee may not be suited for the job, the supervisor must contact the Human Resources Department to discuss the specific problems. If termination is decided, either the supervisor, higher level manager in line of supervision, or the Human Resources Manager will inform the employee of the termination.

The Three Month Performance Evaluation must be discussed with the employee. Both the employee and the supervisor are required to sign the evaluation form before the supervisor forwards it to the Human Resources Department. All employees are entitled to a copy of their performance evaluation upon request.

The employee’s signature indicates they have seen the form and does not necessarily indicate that they agree with its contents. If the employee refuses to sign the form, that should be so noted in the presence of a witness.
