Return to Policies&Procedures
I. NON-DISCRIMINATION
The
University does not and will not practice or permit discrimination
in employment on the basis of age if an individual is otherwise
qualified. However, Federal and State minimum and maximum age
limitations must be considered.
II. MINIMUM AGE
The minimum
employment age is 18 years. Exceptions are provided under the law
if the employing agency procures an Employment Certificate from the
County Social Services Department.
A. Restrictive Laws:
A minor’s employment, work assignments, working conditions, pay and
hours of work are covered by complex, stringent Child Labor Laws.
These laws place the burden on the University, as the employer, to
permit only that employment and those assignments which are not
prohibited.
B. Human Resources
Contact:
With the above in mind, any supervisor considering the employment of
a minor must contact the University Human Resources Office for
specific instructions.
C. Law Enforcement
Officer:
A person employed as a law enforcement officer must be at least
twenty-one (21) years of age.
III. MAXIMUM AGE
A law
enforcement officer can retire with an unreduced benefit at age 55
with 5 years of credit as an officer, or at any age after 30 years
of credit; reduced benefit after age 50 and 15 years of credit as an
officer.
IV. PHYSICAL INCAPABILITY TO WORK
If through established medical examination procedures an employee is
found not physically fit for the performance of his/her duties by
their physician, the employee may be eligible for the NC Disability
Income Plan.
V. RE-EMPLOYMENT AFTER RETIREMENT
After an employee has retired on an early or service retirement
allowance, the employee may accept re-employment by a unit of the
Retirement System, subject to certain limitations. In all cases,
the employee should contact the Human Resources Office on the
conditions of re-employment.
