General Provisions

The GW Supervisory Guide and the policies, information and guidelines in it, do not constitute or reflect terms of a contract between the University and any employee. The University reserves the right to withdraw, amend, modify, or add to these materials, in whole or in part, at any time as well as the right not to apply them in a particular case.

For non-faculty employees and employees not represented by a collective bargaining representative, GW is an at-will employer. This means that employment with GW is voluntarily entered into, and the employee is free to resign at any time, with or without notice or cause. Similarly, GW may terminate the employment relationship for any reason with or without notice or cause at any time, subject to applicable federal, state or District of Columbia law. Nothing in this Guide or in any oral or written statement shall limit the right to terminat employment at-will. No supervisor or employee of GW, other than a Vice President, shall have any authority to enter into an employment agreement - express or implied - with any employee providing for employment other than at-will.
