Student Employee Complaints

If you are a student employee at the University of Wyoming we refer you to Section IV of the Employee Hand Book listed below. Student employees can direct complaints to the University of Wyoming Human Resources Office and students who are on Federal College Work Study Employment can direct their complaints to the Work Study Coordinator in the Scholarships & Financial Aid office. If you have a complaint with a non-student employee at the University of Wyoming that is not criminal, discrimination, work place violence or sexual harassment, you can direct those complaints to the University of Wyoming Human Resources office. Any other employee complaints please direct them to Report it! for sexual harassment, work place violence, or discrimination and for criminal complaints please direct those to the University of Wyoming Police Department.

You can also visit the link directly below to the employee handbook for any other questions or issues.
