Employee Services

At NIU, we value equity and inclusion. Human Resource Services collaborates with other units on campus to make sure that university procedures and facilities are accessible and equitable to all. NIU employees have access to many services that protect their best interests and help ensure fair treatment.

We actively promote equal employment opportunities for all job candidates. We'll treat you fairly and work with you to provide reasonable accommodations you need to do your job. Read more about disability services.

When you were hired, you may have been hired into a union. Or you may have joined a recently formed union on campus. Take some time to learn about what it means to be a member of an academic union or civil service union.

We also have resources to assist you when things go wrong. If you're injured on the job, you may qualify for workers' compensation benefits. If you've been treated unfairly in your workplace, our employee grievance procedures can help resolve the situation.
