In no case will a job be created just to provide employment for a particular individual. WHEREAS, In selecting new personnel and in evaluating our employees, it is necessary for certain individuals at the Institution to judge the performance of other individuals.

Ann. tit. 74, § 840-2.21 FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE Family and Medical Leave is provided consistent with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Any provisions of the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System's policies, which are found to be contradictory to the Act will be superseded by the Act. g) FMLA Policy. You are eligible to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid family/medical leave (FAIL) within any 12 month period and be restored to the same or an equivalent position upon your return from leave provided that you have worked for The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System for at least 12 months, AND for at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months. The 12 month period to take the leave is a "rolling" 12 month period beginning from the first day of the new leave period. For example, if the employee's first FAIL began on May 1, the leave period would end on the following April 30 with a new 12 month period beginning on the first day of the next FML. The 12 month period to accumulate the 1,250 hours is h) also a "rolling" 12 month period measured backwards from the first day of the new leave period. For example, if the employee's first FML began on May 1, the period for accumulating the 1,250 hours of work would be the previous (May I through April 30. Reasons for FML. You may take FML for any of the following reasons: (1) the birth of a son or daughter; (2) the placement of a son or daughter with you for adoption or foster care; (3) to care for a spouse, son, daughter, or parent with a serious health condition; or (4) because of your own serious health condition which renders you unable to perform the functions of your position. Leave because of reasons "I" or `2" must be completed within the 12 month period beginning on the date of birth or placement. Notice of Leave. If your need for FML is foreseeable, you must give The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System 30 days prior written notice. Where the need for leave is not foreseeable, you are expected to notify the System within I or 2 business days of learning of your need for leave, except in extraordinary 8/9/2011 11 of 34 circumstances. Failure to provide such notice may be grounds for delay of leave. Medical Certification. If you are requesting FML because of your own or a covered relation's serious health condition, you and the relevant health care provider must supply appropriate medical certification. When you request FML, The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will notify you of the requirement for medical certification and when it is due (15 days after you request leave). Failure to provide requested medical certification in a timely manner may jeopardize your leave or result in denial of leave until it is provided. The System, at its expense, may require an examination by a second health care provider designated by The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System, if it reasonably doubts the medical certification you initially provide. If the second health care provider's opinion conflicts with the original medical certification, The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System, at its expense, may require a third, mutually agreeable, health care provider to conduct an examination and provide a final and binding opinion. Pottawatomie County may require subsequent medical certification on a reasonable basis. Reporting While on FML. If you take FML because of your own serious health condition or to care for a covered relation, you must contact The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System Director on the first and third Monday of each month regarding the status of the condition and your intention to return to work. FML is unpaid. However, The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will require you to use your accumulated paid leave or compensatory time simultaneously in certain circumstances. You will be required to substitute accumulated and available paid vacation leave and/or compensatory time for any unpaid FML for the birth and care of an employee's child after birth, placement for adoption or foster care, or for the care of a seriously ill family member. Paid vacation, compensatory time and/or sick leave will be substituted as FML for the employee's own serious health condition. The required substitution of accumulated paid leave and/or compensatory time as described above will not apply if you are receiving workers' compensation benefits or if you are receiving payments under a short term disability policy. The substitution of paid leave time and/or compensatory time for unpaid leave time does not extend the 12 week period. Workers' Compensation. If you sustain an on-the-job injury that qualifies as a serious health condition under this policy, The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will run your FML concurrently with your workers' compensation leave. The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will provide timely notice as required by the Family and Medical Leave Act. Medical and Other Benefits. During an approved FML, The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will maintain your health benefits, as if you continued to be actively employed. If paid leave time is substituted for unpaid family/medical leave The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will deduct your portion of the health plan premium as a regular payroll deduction. If your leave is unpaid, you must pay your portion of the premium to The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System by the first day of each month. Your health care coverage will cease if your premium payment is more then 30 days late. If you elect not to return to work at the end of the leave period, you will be required to reimburse the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System for the cost of the premiums paid by The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System for maintaining coverage during your leave, unless you cannot return to work because of a serious health condition or other circumstances beyond your control. If the FML absence lasts longer than 12 weeks or is estimated to last longer than 12 weeks, it may be necessary to fill the position with another employee. Intermittent and Reduced Schedule Leave. Leave because of a serious health condition may be taken intermittently (in separate blocks of time due to a single health condition) or on a reduced leave schedule (reducing the usual number of hours you work per workweek or workday) if medically necessary. If leave is unpaid, the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System will reduce your salary based on the amount of time actually worked. In addition, while you are on an intermittent or reduced schedule leave, the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System may temporarily transfer you to an alternative position which better accommodates your recurring leave and which has equivalent pay and benefits. Return from Leave. If you take leave because of your own serious health condition, you are required to provide medical certification that you are fit to resume work. Employees failing to provide the 8/9/2011 12 of 34 certification will not be permitted to resume work until it is provided. 1.FRINGE BENEFITS The Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System pays for unemployment insurance, social security (with the employee paying an equal percentage), and worker's compensation insurance.

Where the need for sick leave is not foreseeable, you are expected to notify the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System Director within 1 or 2 business days of learning of your need for sick leave, except in extraordinary circumstances.

The System encourages employees to discuss work-related concerns with their supervisor, and the Director. However, even in such discussions, misunderstandings occur. In order to resolve such instances as quickly and easily as possible, we suggest the following to ensure a policy of free and open communication: Step 1: Should you have a concern, bring it to your supervisor's attention (if appropriate) in writing or by e- mail. After reviewing the facts, your supervisor will meet with you to discuss your concerns and to respond. It would be best to use the PSAP's e-mail system to send a letter to your supervisor or the Director so that there is no misunderstanding in the intent of the problem you may have a concern over. Step 2: If you are not satisfied with your supervisor's response (or if meeting with him or her is not appropriate) then you may present your concern to a Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1Trustee who will follow the same evaluation process. Step 3: If you wish to pursue this matter further, then you may present your concerns to The entire Trust Authority, who will investigate the matter. After considering your position and the available facts presented to the Trust, a decision will be made at a meeting of the Trust Authority where the trustees will make a final determination on how to respond to your concern. If the matter is of a personal matter, discussion and a decision will be made in an closed executive session of the trust Authority. 9. POLICY AGAINST HARASSMENT AND A COMPLAINT PROCEDURE Sexual Harassment Policy It is the policy of the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System to provide a working environment for its employees which is free from all forms of intimidation, harassment or discrimination, including sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a form of misconduct that undermines the basic integrity of the employment relationship. No employee, wither male or female, should be subjected to unsolicited and unwelcome sexual overtures of conduct, either verbal or physical. Such misconduct will not be tolerated by this Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System, either by its employees or by others, such as job applications, or employees of vendors or outside contractors. What is sexual harassment? It does not include occasional compliments of a socially acceptable nature, or innocuous social invitations. Sexual harassment begins with behavior that is not welcome, that is personally offensive, and that is directed against an employee because of his or her sex. If an employee is subjected to such behavior, and if his or her employment is in some way conditioned upon submitting to that behavior, or his or her working environment becomes so intolerable that it interferes with his or her job performance, then that employee is probably a victim of sexual harassment. While isolated incidents of unwelcome behavior are not generally 8/9/2011 18 of 34 considered to rise to the level of sexual harassment, the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System does not condone offensive or unwelcome behavior of any kind or duration, and will take any action it deems appropriate to eliminate reoccurrences of such behavior that are brought to its attention. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System does not, and will not, tolerate sexual harassment of its employees. Specifically, no person shall subject an employee to unwelcome sexual advances or intimidating or harassing behavior, or condition an individual's employment or continued employment on submitting to such advances or behavior. Refusal to submit to sexual advances or harassing behavior may not be used as a basis for any decision adversely affecting an employee's employment with the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System, including performance evaluation, wages, advancement, assigned duties, shifts, career development, or any other terms, conditions or benefits of employment, nor may such effect be threatened or implied. Likewise, no person shall confer, or promise or imply to confer, employment opportunities or benefits upon an employee in return for submitting to sexual advances or intimidating or harassing behavior. Moreover, no person shall coerce or abuse an employee, or otherwise engage in behavior which creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will take immediate corrective action against any person, including a non-employee, who is found to have engaged in the above behavior. These actions may include pursuing sanctions against non-employees, and imposing disciplinary measures, up to and including termination, on employees. Because of the seriousness with which the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System views sexual harassment, and because of the severity of the penalties which may be imposed on offenders, false accusations will not be tolerated. However, this statement is not intended to discourage employees from coming forward with any complaints. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System recognizes and expects that some claims may be difficult to prove or support, or may not in fact be found to rise to the level of seriousness deemed necessary to constitute sexual harassment. These are not the types of claims which are considered to be false accusations. Rather, anyone found to have purposefully and intentionally brought allegations which he or she knows to be untrue will be deemed to have made false accusations, and will be subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Each manager and supervisor has a responsibility to maintain a workplace free of sexual harassment. This duty includes discussing this policy with all supervised employees and assuring them that they will not have to endure insulting, degrading or exploitative sexual treatment or intimidating or harassing behavior. It also includes identifying offensive behavior in violation of this policy and bringing it to the attention of the Director of the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System or one of the Trustees of the Trust Authority. In some cases, it will also be appropriate for employees to seek assistance from their supervisors, and in those instances, it is the supervisor's responsibility to deal with an employee's concerns, in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in the next section. Procedure Any employee who believes that he or she has been the subject of sexual harassment should report the alleged charge immediately in accordance with the following procedure. All information disclosed pursuant to this procedure will be held in strictest confidence, and will only be disclosed on a need-to-know basis in order to investigate and resolve the matter. 1. Any employee who has a concern, grievance or complaint about harassment in the workplace should report it directly to his or her immediate supervisor, unless the supervisor is involved, in which case the employee is to report his or her concerns to Director or to a member of the Trust Authority. 2. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will promptly initiate a thorough administrative investigation of the complaint. The employee reporting the matter will be requested to give a written statement about what was said, what was done where it occurred, and what behavior the employee believes to have been inappropriate. The alleged harasser will similarly be requested to give a written statement. Also, the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will request the complainant to give the names of any other individuals who the employee believes, may 8/9/2011 19 of 34 have knowledge concerning the incident or similar incidents. If the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System believes that these potential witnesses will be helpful in resolving the matter, the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will conduct interviews of those individual for corroboration of the matters described by the complainant. Any employee with knowledge of the allegations will be encouraged to participate fully and truthfully in the administrative investigation. 3. The investigation of the complaint will not be handled solely by one person, but will be conducted by at least two individuals at all times. It is important that the complaint be investigated by top management, or its outside independent representatives, and that all information be kept confidential. The investigation will be handled in a professional manner that protects the identity of both the person bringing the charge, potential witnesses, and the person accused of improper behavior. 4. If it is determined after the investigation that sexual harassment has in fact taken place, appropriate corrective action will be taken against the person or persons responsible. Depending on the findings of the investigation, the corrective action could range from counseling of the employee to disciplinary actions, up to and including termination. If the investigation reveals that someone outside of the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's employee has engaged in sexual harassment of a Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System employee, the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will take appropriate actions against such individuals or companies employing such individuals. 10. SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System is committed to providing a drug free environment. Not only can the use and/or abuse of drugs and alcohol jeopardize the health, safety and well-being of the individual user and other co-workers, but it also results in absenteeism and productivity concerns, higher workers' compensation costs and health/disability premiums, and endangers the safety of the general public and invitees to our stores. Since our employees are our most valuable resources, and the safety of our employees and the public are important to us, we have developed and published this substance abuse policy to help us contribute to the solution of this very difficult health and social problem. Our policy is intended to accurately detect and deter the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol in our workplace, while respecting the dignity and privacy of all of our employees. Although the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System is not required to comply with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 or the drug testing guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and/or the U.S. Department of Transportation, our policy takes into account those requirements. Those provisions establish reasonable bases to ensure that the legitimate needs of the employees are balanced properly against the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's concerns of protecting the workplace and our employees. Therefore, it is the policy of the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System that the possession, sale or use of illegal drugs is not consistent with the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's needs to operate in a safe and efficient fashion. For that reason, no employee of the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System may use or posses unlawful drugs, i.e., any substance found on the list of controlled substances issued by the Food and Drug Administration now or in the future, at any time. This policy also prohibits employees from such use that impairs his/her performance of work on the job, as well as prohibiting use while on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System business at any time, whether on the property or off. In addition, while the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System has no desire to intrude upon the private activities of its employees when they are away from Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System property and not on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System time, involvement with unlawful drugs, including their manufacture or distribution, constitutes a severe breach of accepted conduct and is also prohibited. Employees are also prohibited from bringing prescription drugs on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System 8/9/2011 20 of 34 property, unless they have been prescribed by a licensed physician, such drugs can only be utilized by employees receiving such prescriptions in the manner, combination and quantity prescribed. In instances where any employee holds a position which the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System considers to be safety sensitive, we must be notified by the employee that the use of prescription drugs on the job will not impair the individual's working abilities by a suitable statement from the prescribing physician. Employees are also prohibited from using alcoholic beverages during working hours or within six (6) hours prior to reporting for duty, and/or being under the influence of alcohol while at work or on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System time. Nor may any employee use or possess alcohol on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System property in any unauthorized manner, or bring alcohol unto the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's property for the purpose of such use. Any employee who is convicted of a crime involving the violation of any Federal or non-federal statute prohibiting the manufacture, sale, distribution, possession or use of any controlled substance in the work place must notify the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System within five (5) days after such conviction. Violation of any portion of this policy will subject the employee to appropriate disciplinary measures, up to and including termination. All employees in positions considered by the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System to be safety sensitive shall be subject to urine testing prior to employment or job assignment, following an accident on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System property or on Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System business, or prior to return to duty if they have failed a previous test. Moreover, any employee whose conduct, appearance or behavior may tend to suggest that the individual is impaired or otherwise not fit to perform the tasks of his or her job and is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, will be required to submit to urine testing. If any of the above mentioned testing conditions are met, a confirmed positive test will lead to discipline, up to and including termination, or a requirement that the individual undergo and successfully complete a rehabilitation or treatment/counseling program, or both. Employees who have failed a previous test may be subject to unannounced follow-up testing for a period of one (1) year after their return to duty. Refusal to submit to urine testing, or adulteration of a specimen for testing, shall subject the employee to termination, or in the case of an applicant, to elimination from consideration for the position for which the individual has applied. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's decision to test employees and job applicants has been made to assist the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System in advancing the objectives of this Substance Abuse Policy. All testing will be conducted in compliance with the guidelines adopted by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, except that the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System may test for alcohol and additional controlled substances, and the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System may decide not to use the service of a Medical Review Officer (MRO). All testing will be conducted using accepted professional and technical standards and in a manner which respects and recognizes the dignity and privacy of our employees. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will endeavor, to the greatest extent possible, to protect the confidentiality of information regarding individual test results. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will not discriminate against any employee who is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Employees who are directed or recommended, by a licensed physician, to be admitted to an accredited in-patient drug/alcohol treatment program may also be eligible for salary continuation benefits, on a one-time basis, for a maximum of sixty (60) days. The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will continue to make premium payments for the employee's health and or disability insurance plan(s). The Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System will treat the details of any employee's participation in an assistance program confidentially, to the greatest extent possible, to ensure that the employee's privacy is respected. The elements of this Substance Abuse Policy are intended to achieve the overall goal of fostering a drug-free workplace and a healthy, safe environment for our employees. Although this policy has been carefully written to address all of the concerns in this sensitive area, the Pott. Co. E 9-1- 1 System reserves the right to modify or amend it. Employees will be notified if any changes are made. A copy of this Substance Abuse Policy will be provided to every person hired by the Pott. Co. E 9- 8/9/2011 21 of 34 1-1 System, to any person offered conditional employment, and upon request, to any job applicant. Its receipt and acknowledgment by each employee or conditional employee is required on the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's Informed Consent and Release Form. An employee who has questions or concerns about this policy should contact the following individual, who is serving as the Pott. Co. E 9-1-1 System's liaison for this Purpose: Melvin Potter Director 11. EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System offers no employment contracts nor does it guarantee any minimum length of employment. Just as any employee may terminate employment at any time, so may Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System terminate an employee at any time "at-will," with or without cause, with or without notice. There are several types of separation: RESIGNATION - Employees who find it necessary to terminate their employment with Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System are required to give two week's notice to their supervisor. Employees who give such notice will be able to receive the value of their accrued and unused annual leave. QUITTING - Employees who leave their employment without giving the required two-week's notice are considered to have quit. REDUCTION IN FORCE (LAYOFF) - An employee may be subject to a non- disciplinary, involuntary termination through layoff in connection with a shortage of funds, abolition of a position, or lack of need for the work performed by an employee or group of employees. The Director should make every effort to give at least two week's notice of the layoff. In such case, the employee is eligible to receive the value of their accrued and unused vacation leave. RETIREMENT - Employees planning to retire are required to give proper two week's notice of retirement. In such case, the employee is eligible to receive the value of their accrued and unused vacation leave. DISCHARGE - In order for Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System to carry out its obligations and priorities in the most efficient manner possible, the System adheres to the principles of at-will employment whereby the System and employees alike can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason or for no reason, not prohibited Federal, State or Municipal law. If an employee is separated for cause (i.e. for serious misconduct, or for violations of System policy, or for continued misconduct after repeated warnings), the employee is not eligible to receive the value of their accrued and unused vacation leave. Upon separation the employee must report to the Director's office for an exit interview and to make arrangements for the final paycheck. In any case, the employee will not receive their paycheck until the next scheduled payday. 12. AUTHORITY TO SEARCH Desks and other storage devices within the workplace may be provided for the convenience of employees, 8/9/2011 22 of 34 but remain the sole property of the System. Accordingly, they, as well as any containers or articles found within them, can be inspected by any member of management, at any time, with or without prior notice. Containers may include, but are not limited to, any packet, package, purse, briefcase, or lunch container. Containers are subject to search whether or not they are locked. Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System has the right to search containers whether they are locked by a device provided by the System or by the employee. Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System provides a computer network system, including voice-mail, e-mail and Internet access, to employees for business use only. Employees should not expect privacy with respect to any of their activities using System-provided computer equipment, telephone equipment, computer services, or Internet access.

NO SOLICITATION/NO DISTRIBUTION POLICY Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System employees are prohibited from engaging in solicitation to other System employees or the public during the work time of either the employee doing the solicitation or the employee being solicited. Solicitation includes, but is not limited to, contacting other employees or the public for the purpose of encouraging their participation or support for functions or activities which are not related to the official business of the System. Examples include encouraging participation in or support for political campaigns, fundraisers, raffles, organization membership drives, sales of any product, etc. Solicitation is restricted to non-working hours such as lunch breaks, before work, and after work. Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System employees are prohibited from distributing materials that are not work related in working areas during working time. Material of this nature may only be distributed in non- working areas such as lunch rooms or break rooms during non-working times. 14. TOBACCO FREE POLICY In consideration of the health and well-being of our employees and the public, Pottawatomie County E 9-1- 1 System will maintain a tobacco-free environment in the System building and vehicles. To accommodate those employees who do partake of tobacco, designated areas are established out of doors at System facilities. Employees should properly dispose of all tobacco products and debris, in the receptacles provided.

In the case of an emergency, employees may make or receive personal telephone calls during regular business hours. Employees are prohibited from making long distance phone calls on System phones for personal or nonbusiness matters. Violation of the policy will be grounds for discipline, up to and including discharge. 16. VOTING If an employee's workday begins three hours or more before the time that the polls are opened, or ends three hours or more after the time the polls are closed, the employee will be expected to vote either before or after work.

Absentee balloting should be considered when possible. 17. CELL PHONE POLICY The Oklahoma State Constitution places significant restrictions on the use of county-paid cell phones. In addition, the federal Internal Revenue Service Code has significant provisions to determine whether the use of county-paid cell phones (or any other "listed property" under the I.R.S. Code) will be considered as a taxable fringe benefit for individual employees. Therefore, in order to comply with the legal requirements of the Oklahoma Constitution, and in order not to have all cell phones inappropriately viewed as a taxable fringe benefit by the I.R.S., the following policies and procedures must be closely followed by all employees: County-paid cell phones will be utilized only for county business. County-paid cell phones will not be used for any personal calls (either incoming or outgoing). The County will periodically audit the usage of-county-paid cell phones to insure that these phones are not being used for personal calls. Employees who use a county-paid cell phone for personal calls (either incoming or outgoing) may be committing a violation of the Oklahoma State Constitution and/or the I.R.S. Code and shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. If an employee wishes to use a cell phone for personal calls, there are two acceptable options available: The employee may carry two cell phones; a county-paid cell phone exclusively for county business; and an employee-paid cell phone for personal calls; or The employee may obtain and pay for a personal cell phone which is used for both county business and personal calls. 18.

All safety equipment provided by the county 9-1-1(except in emergency situations) is a taxable fringe benefit except where the equipment is specifically determined to help an employee perform his/her jobs in a safer environment. Clothing, uniforms and safety equipment provided by the county 9-1-1shall not be worn or used by employees except in the performance of their duties and in direct travel to and from their place of employment. Further use of clothing, uniforms and safety equipment may constitute a violation of the Oklahoma State Constitution and/or the I.R.S. Code and shall subject an employee to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. 8/9/2011 31 of 34 RESOLUTION No.______ Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System has determined there exists a need for an Employee Personnel Guideline Handbook which is uniformly applied to all employees of Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System, and WHEREAS the Trustees of the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System Trust Authority have determined that an Employee Personnel Guideline Handbook will significantly improve communications between the System and its employees, and WHEREAS the Trustees of the Pottawatomie County E 9-1-1 System Trust Authority have determined that a written Employee Personnel Guideline Handbook promotes fairness in employment and assists in the prevention of discrimination in employment of any nature.

The Raiders have hired a coordinator to run the offense and another to guide the special teams.
Head coach Jack Del Rio is still on the hunt for his defensive coordinator. The newest name expected to have an interview in the works has long been considered among Raiders' favorites for the position.
Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith is expected to interview with the Raiders, NFL Network reported on Tuesday night.
Smith has a strong connection with Del Rio. He was defensive coordinator in Jacksonville from 2003-07, when Del Rio was Jaguars head coach.
He left that post to become head coach of the Falcons, where he had solid success early on. His team struggled over the last two seasons, which led to his firing after the 2014 season.
Smith has a 67-50 record as a head coach, including a 1-4 mark in the postseason.
While Smith has been linked to Del Rio as a coordinator candidate in Oakland, his name hadn't surfaced in regards to an interview until Tuesday's report.
If Smith is hired, this coaching staff will turn into a true Jacksonville reunion. Recently hired offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave was also on Jacksonville's staff with Del Rio and Smith from 2003-04. Offensive line coach Mike Tice overlapped with Del Rio and Smith in 2006-07 as Jaguars assistant head coach.
The Raiders interviewed Eric Mangini for the defensive coordinator position earlier Tuesday. Mangini also interviewed to become the Raiders head coach.
