Employment Practices

Michigan State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. The following practices for employing students should be reviewed by departments and appropriate action taken.

• Hiring Students: All departments must use the Student Employment Automated System (SEAS) to process new hires.
• Testing: Pre-employment testing is not permitted.
• Medical Exams: Some positions may require medical/physical examinations for employment. Medical exams may not be performed until after a job offer has been made and accepted.  All information resulting from such an exam is confidential and should be maintained outside of the student's employment file. Any medical information currently in a student's employment file should be removed. An employee's written request for accommodation and documentation related to the accommodation (other than medical records) may be kept in the student's medical file.
• Exposure to Health Risks:  See Exposure to Health Risks
• Interviewing: Should be non-discriminatory. Interviewers should follow the criteria outlined in the Michigan Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights Pre-Employment Inquiry Guide.
