Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum/Teacher-Made Activities Activity 1: I Like Me (ELA CC Unit 1, Activity 6) (GLEs 7c, 11, 25, 31, 33, 38) Materials List: various books from the classroom or school library as needed, paper, markers, crayons, pencils, chart paper, name cards, Feeling Cube BLM, 3" cube-shaped box, Internet, computer The students will discuss and identify and list things they like about themselves, things they can learn, and their feelings after listening to related literature and participating in related activities. After exploring literature that promotes students' understanding of themselves, they will create a Who Am I? book found on the website http://www.Starfall.com under It's Fun to Read activity. To create the book, the students will click on characteristics that match their own. They may also click and drag body part words to match the correct body parts. The following are examples of related literature and activities that promote self awareness: a. I Like Me, by Nancy Carlson, is a book that explores self-esteem in children's daily life. Use DR-TA (directed reading – thinking activity) (view literacy strategy descriptions), which is an instructional approach that invites students to make predictions, and then check their predictions during and after the reading. DR-TA provides a frame for self- monitoring because students should pause throughout the reading to ask students questions. In using DR-TA students will make predictions about the story based on the cover and title. These predictions may or may not be recorded. As the story is shared, stop at various points to model (think aloud) how to use context and picture cues when inferring the meaning of unknown vocabulary words. After the reading, students will dictate or use inventive spelling to identify things that make them feel successful. This may be more appropriate for small groups or pairs of students, depending upon the students' levels of development. If not available, other appropriate books include What I Like About Me by Allia Zobel – Nolan, I Like Myself! by Karen Beaumont, I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem by Jamie Lee Curtis b. After listening to a book in which a character learns something new, students will answer the following question: "What can I learn to do?" The following are two examples of appropriate books: Leo the Late Bloomer by Robert Krauss or Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats. Students will participate in a discussion of things they are learning to do. Ask guiding questions, such as What can you learn to do with your shoelaces?, How high do you think you can learn to count?, etc. Students will be encouraged to express their thoughts and ideas in complete sentences. They will agree upon one or two things they need to learn during the kindergarten year, such as tying shoes, counting to 50, reading Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 5 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You their friends' names, etc. These skills will be recorded on charts and placed in the classroom. When a skill has been accomplished, it will be indicated on the chart. This activity will begin as whole group and continue in small groups until all skills are accomplished. c. Students will identify their feelings as they explore books and poems that provide insights into a wide range of emotions. Some examples include How Are You Feeling? by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers, There's a Nightmare in My Closet by Mercer Meyer, Faces by Francois Robert, etc. Using the Feeling Cube BLM, cut the pictures and glue or tape them onto each side of a 3" cube-shaped box to create a feelings cube. Discuss the feelings that correspond to the facial expressions on the feeling cube. The students will take turns tossing the cube and naming the emotion depicted. The students may relate incidents that made them feel or experience the emotion tossed on cube. Activity 2: Phonemic Awareness (GLE 1d) a. Teacher says three words, and students will say the two words that begin with the same sound. b. Teacher shows pictures to students, and students will select two pictures that begin with the same sound. c. Teacher articulates three phonemes, two of which are the same, and students name the phoneme that is said twice. Activity 3: Rhyme (GLE 1a) a. Teacher gives students two words, and students indicate whether they rhyme or not with thumbs up for yes and thumbs down for no. b. Teacher gives students three words, and students select the two that rhyme. c. Students sort sets of pictures into rhyming pairs. Students select two pictures out of three that rhyme. Teacher gives students a word, and students find the picture that rhymes with the word Activity 4: Book Use (GLEs 7a, 7c) Storybook Reading Activities Goal: Understanding Print Concepts: Front to Back, Top to Bottom, Left to Right Storybook reading can provide a rich and focused time to develop print concepts. The teacher can model these concepts during whole-group instruction and have students practice these skills during small-group instruction and independently during centers. These activities should be reinforced and practiced to the point of mastery. Sample Activities 1. Whole-Group. Shared Storybook Reading (Model): Using a big book, the teacher can model and explicitly teach the print concepts of front to back, top to bottom, and left to right. o Front to Back: The teacher may say and model, "When I begin reading, I start reading from the front of the book. I start with the cover and I read the title, the name of the Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 6 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You author, and illustrator. I open the book and read all of the pages until I get to the end or the back of the book. When I get to the end or the back of the book, the story is over." o Top to Bottom: The teacher may say and model, "When I begin reading, I always start at the top of the page and go down until I get to the bottom of the page." o Left to Right: The teacher may say and model, "When I begin reading, remember that I start at the top and I always read from the left side to the right side. When I get to the end of the line, I sweep my finger all the way back to the left again on the next line. I keep reading all of the lines like this until I get all the way to the end of the last line. I turn the page and start this all over again. Let's practice all of these things together." 2. Whole-Group. Shared Storybook Reading (Before/During): As a follow-up to print concept modeling, the teacher may ask individual students to show where to begin reading for all concepts including, front of the book or the back, top to the bottom, or the left to the right. This can be done prior to and during reading. 3. Whole-Group. Shared Storybook Reading (Every Pupil Response): An additional way to informally assess knowledge of print concepts is to have all students respond through a designated gesture (such as thumbs up or thumbs down) to print concept statements. For example, "This is where I begin reading. This is the front of the book." 4. Small-Group. Interactive Book Reading: While reading aloud, the teacher may first model the print concepts previously outlined in the context of interactive book reading. The teacher can assess students' knowledge of print concepts by posing questions or statements before and during reading. The teacher can ask the students to demonstrate knowledge by having them point and discuss print concepts as a daily component of interactive book reading. 5. Small-Group. Guided Reading: As a component of the guiding reading process, the teacher can first model the print concepts previously outlined in the students' guided reading book. The teacher can assess the students' knowledge of print concepts by having them directly point to those components in their personal guided reading selection. The teacher can infuse this into the daily guided reading routine and document student progress. 6. Independent. Listening Center: Students may sit with a partner in the listening center and follow along with a book on tape or CD. The tape/CD should prompt the students to point to the cover of the book, the title, and to open to the first page. Activity 5: Phonics/Alphabetic Principle Activities (RE CC Unit 1 Sample Activity #3) (GLEs 2a) Children track alphabet: The teacher provides each child an alphabet strip to track with a magic wand while singing the alphabet song during morning meeting. The students can sit in a circle while tracking the alphabet, and the teacher can walk around the circle while singing the song and monitoring student progress on this skill. Activity 6: My Name is Important! (ELA CC Unit 1, Activity 1) (GLEs 2b, 31, 35) Teacher Note: As a word of caution, since some student names are non-phonetic, it is not recommended to use the beginning sounds of student names as a kindergarten activity when learning sound-symbol correspondences. When teaching students how to spell and read and their Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 7 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You own names, the teacher should provide explicit instruction so students can recognize how graphemes and phonemes are connected in their names. For students with non-phonetic names (e.g., Christopher, Theresa, Eugene), the teacher should explain that some words, including some names, do not "follow the rules" and must be learned "by heart." The teacher can explain," Your name doesn't play fair (or is a heart word, or whatever terminology the core reading program uses for non-phonetic high frequency words) and so they can't really connect all the sounds to common sound pictures [graphemes]." Suggested Resource: Colleague in the Classroom: Miss Mimmie's Heart Words, CD-ROM, Sopris West. Materials List: Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes or various books from the classroom or school library related to names, name card labels for each student to be placed in several locations around the classroom, helper chart, various name songs or chants Young children are naturally interested in their names. It is usually the first written language that they recognize. Therefore, it is very powerful to use students' names as a teaching tool that promotes name recognition and introduces letters. Use an opinionnaire (view literacy strategy descriptions) to open a discussion on names. Opinionnaires are developed by generating statements about a topic that force students to take positions and defend them. The emphasis is on students' points of view and not the "correctness" of their opinions. For this activity, the teacher should make the statement: "No one would want to be named after a flower." The students will generate their own opinions about the statement, debate the statement, and discuss the origin of their own names. (Some sample guiding question may include: Are any of you named after a flower?, Does any one in your family have the same names?, Are you named after anything special?, etc.) Read the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes or a similar book that focuses on children's names and going to school. After reading Chrysanthemum, return to the discussion to see if any opinions have changed. Parental involvement may be gained by sending a letter home, informing the parents of the class discussion about names. The letter can request that parents write any stories they have about the choosing of their child's name and send it in to be shared with the class. The stories will be shared as they are received. Other books that may be used include Ashok by Any Other Name by Sandra S. Yamate, The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi , My Name Is Yoon by Helen Recorvits, Mommy Doesn't Know My Name by Suzanne Williams, Christopher Changes His Name by Itah Sadu or Hooway for Wodney Wat by Helen Lester. One has to consider available resources, students' interest, and personal favorites when choosing books. The students will learn to identify their names and the names of their classmates through a print- rich environment. Students' name cards will be used to label their cubbies, seats, and folders. Add each student's name to a word wall which can be read and used as a reference for writing. The name cards may be used in various ways to promote name recognition. The following are some examples. a. Name cards for each student and a class list will be placed in the writing center to be used as needed. b. A folder-helper job may be added to the helper chart. The folder helper may place students' daily folders in the cubbies before the end of the day, matching the names on the folders to the names on the cubbies. The folder helper may work by him/herself or may have the teacher or a peer assist with the task. c. During transition times, name cards may be held up to let students know when to line up, or the teacher may hold up the name cards to allow a student's name to be inserted into a familiar chant or song in which students clap the beats in their names. The class will Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 8 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You welcome students to school by inserting their names in the following song. (Tune: Shortnin' Bread) Welcome ______, ______, ______ Welcome ________, to our school. Teacher Note: It is highly recommended that teachers and students create class books with photographs and/or students' names. Kindergarten students continue to display an egocentric interest in self. They are more highly motivated to read books in which their names and/or photographs are incorporated. Activity 7: I Am a Student (ELA CC Unit 1, Activity 8) (GLEs 31, 33, 35, 41) Materials List: floor puzzles, Team Puzzle BLM, photographs of students, chart paper Students will identify roles and responsibilities of being a classroom member to build a classroom community. The students will be divided into groups of two or three. Each group will work together to put a floor puzzle together. When all groups are done (or nearly done), they will come together as a whole and discuss the following: Did your group finish the puzzle? What did your puzzle look like when finished? Do you prefer to work in a small group or by yourself? Do you think your group worked well together? Why or why not? Inform the students that there are many times when people have to work together. Some examples include: Sports- football, basketball, soccer, kickball, etc. Family- doing household chores, packing for a trip, preparing for a party, etc. Work- restaurants, doctors' offices, banks, etc.Explain to the students that they will work together as a class community and school community throughout the year. When working together they were able to finish the puzzles in a short time. Together the class will accomplish many things during the day. They may even work together on projects as a school to accomplish things. The class will discuss what would have happened if all the floor puzzles were mixed up so the group would have had pieces from other puzzles (The puzzle would not have worked.). That is what would happen if one or some of the students did not make good choices during the day; our class would not work well. Therefore, every class member will play an important role in the classroom community. Each student will make a puzzle piece for a Class Community puzzle using the Team Puzzle BLM; this will be displayed as a reminder to work together. Students will sign their names in large letters for people to see (assist as needed). They can decorate any part of the puzzle that is outside the black box. Tell the students that tomorrow a surprise will appear in the black box. Take pictures of the students and paste them on their puzzle piece: then display the puzzle the next day (see photograph below of an example). A group discussion will remind the students that they must work together to be part of a community. But as part of the school community, everyone must feel safe and respected. Discuss what it means to be "safe" and "respected." Brainstorm (view literacy strategy descriptions) ideas for what a class community can do to make sure that everyone feels safe and respected. The teacher will write the students' ideas on the board or chart paper. After the list of ideas has been generated, circle the ones that are similar, using different colored markers (example: don't hit or play nice) and discuss how they are similar. Cooperatively, the class will summarize the similar things. The teacher will write the Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 9 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You summarized statements on chart paper and display it next to the Class Community puzzle to be used throughout the year. Some of the following are examples of summarized statements: 1. Be Safe, 2. Be Respectful, 3. Be Responsible, 4. Be A Learner 1. Respect Self, 2. Respect Others, 3. Respect Things 1. Be Nice, 2. Be a Good Listener, 3. Clean up Your Area Teacher Note: This is one of the most important activities in the kindergarten unit. It is crucial to a student's ability to make observations, express thoughts, work with others, and participate in discussions. It is important to note that this activity is not specific to this unit and should be taught throughout the entire year. Activity 8: What Do I Like? (ELA CC Unit 1, Activity 7) (GLEs 4, 22, 23, 35) Materials List: various books or songs from the classroom or school library, What I Like BLM, binding for book, reading rubric, environmental print items Introduce the students to the song I Like Me from the I Am Special Just Because I'm Me CD by Thomas Moore. Students create a class book entitled What I Like. Each student will be given What I Like BLM which has the following repetitive text: I like ________. Yes I do! I like ______. How about you? They will dictate or use inventive spelling to complete the sentences. They will also draw an illustration to support their text. Bind their work to create a class book. Use the book and the reading rubric to model reading and then place it in the class library for the students to explore and enjoy as part of their familiar reading material. Another class book that can be made depicting what students like is an environmental print book. Students will bring environmental print from home of one or two items they like, for instance, a waffle box, cereal box, juice label, a lotion bottle, etc. These may be cut and used to create a class book that students can read. After the book is introduced to whole or small groups, it can be placed in the class library for familiar reading material. It may also be referred to during writing activities. Other songs or books that may be used are listed in the resources at the end of the unit. One has to consider available resources, students' interest, and personal favorites when choosing books. Activity 9: Fun with Letters (ELA CC Unit 3, Activity 8) (GLEs 2a, 2b, 29, 31) Materials List: name cards and list, objects labeled for a "name hunt," variety of material to practice names (ex., shaving cream, water paints, sand, markers, etc.), computer Have students name letters while playing a "What's My Name?" game. Hold up a letter card for students to see and give students an oral clue. For instance, hold up the letter "J" and say the following: My name rhymes with "bake" and starts with the letter "J." What's my name? My name is ____. Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 - Getting to Know You 10 Kindergarten ELA – Theme 1 – Getting To Know You Next have students practice writing or constructing their own first and last names, with proper capitalization, spacing between words, and proper figure grounding on a line. Provide a variety of materials for manipulation including shaving cream, sand, rice, paint in a plastic bag, watercolor paints, pudding, chalk, Playdough®, string, magnetic letters and boards, paper, computer, etc. Place name cards and a list of students in centers. Have each student write not only his/her name, but also the names of their classmates. The students can practice typing their names (or classmates' names) using a computer. Students may require assistance with using a computer keyboard for this activity. Suggested assessment: Checklist to record observation of student understanding.

Livin' It Up! (Exclusive)
by Jimmy Smith
Released: Nov 2005
Label: Verve Records
Jimmy Smith's Verve LPs were big sellers during the 1960s. The formula was this: a big band would play a song's melody and Smith would come in at the bridge, going directly into a brilliant organ solo. This 1968 set changes things up by often having Smith come in at the same time as Oliver Nelson's big band and string orchestra. "Mission Impossible" is fun, the bossa nova "Gentle Rain" is beautiful, and "Refractions" is an Oliver Nelson penned post-bopper that features one of Smith's most influential solos of the period.

Looks very nice and the new revision included a heat pipe between the north bridge and the VRMs.
Good heat dissipation temps in HWmonitor for the mobo around high 30's ~ low 40's under load (with good airflow 2 corsairs SP 120 on the front)
Supports Overclocking and has been very stable with it
The UEFI supports profiles
Cons: Needs more Fan Headers!!!!! really!! are you kidding me!
I ended up using even the power fan connector, but had to use a low speed resistor adapter to minimize the noise since it runs at 100% all the time
Cpu core voltages were moving all over the place even when set static I know this also has to do with AMD architecture requirements but come on.
The UEFI is not that easy to use, its decent enough
The EasyTune software has very limited options for this mobo (I've seen pic of the software on other mobos) and looks like its from the 90's. The documentation is bad and the illustrations worst.
Other Thoughts:
Not the best overclocker but gets the job done.
Cpu Load line calibration can be quite useful just be careful with the setting you select. I recommend normal (which is what I'm using with my oc) or less unless you are water cooled.
To me the biggest down side is the lack of fan headers the rest is not big deal.
Its holding my 8350 at 4.4Ghz with air CM hyper 212 evo.
Overclocks well, make sure you get REV 4.0 or above
I underestimated this Motherboard. Definitely worth a 5 Star.
Pro: Everything on the board is marked. This was VERY helpful when it can time to connect everything for the first time.
Con: I ran out of fan connections. However this is not a problem with the board.
Love the layout and features of the board. I do wish the CPU power connectors where placed closer to the right edge for better wire management. Other than that Its a great board and I recommend it to anyone who is wanting to do an AMD build.
It's big, needs a good sized mid tower or bigger.

Ilan Pappé On the Israeli Election
The recent Israeli election has become a public relations disaster for Western governments, with reelected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party promising not to allow the creation of a Palestinian state. Many thought the more liberal Zionist Union would be able to oust Netanyahu, but prominent Israeli historian Ilan Pappé expressed no surprise at the results. In a post-election article in Electronic Intifada, he wrote "Those of us who know the nature of the beast could not have been surprised by the results of the Israeli election. Like many of my friends, I was also relieved that a liberal Zionist government was not elected. It would have allowed the charade of the "peace process" and the illusion of the two-state solution to linger on while the suffering of the Palestinians continues." (Photograph: Salih Zeki Fazlioglu—Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
This week, Khalil Bendib spoke with professor Pappe to get his take on what Netanyahu's re-election says about Israeli society and whether we might now see a shift in the West's unconditional support for Israel. Ilan Pappé is a renowned Israeli historian and the author of a number of books on Palestine, including his most recent which he co-authored with Noam Chomsey, titled we celebrate National Poetry Month by bringing you some of the work of the Middle East's most celebrated poet, Palestinian Mahmoud Darwish, translated by Iraqi poet Sinan Antoon.

I'm not sure I get the joke, is it subverting the English national stereotype that we can't be bothered to learn another language? Or is it straight up what it says?
Well, I don't know about this one.... Even if French don't speak very well English / Spanish / German, at least they try! While in the US, people don't even give a s**t about learn any other language, since they are living "in the center of the world" and are rarely aware that outside of the US all the people don't speak English...
But anyway, this campaign is really funny!
I like where this is getting. If you don't know any French person, you won't really laugh.

Certificate of Resigned Employee Template document sample
Employee Handbook A How-to-do-it TEMPLATE For Public Libraries Created September, 2002 Assembled and edited by the former Southwest Library System (SLS) About This Manual This manual has been assembled using information from many sources. It's aimed at Public Library Districts, but could apply to other entities. It's intended that you use it as a guide, not verbatim, as each of you will have different considerations in forming your policies. However, if a sample suits you as it is, feel free to use it. Each sample includes its source so that you can judge its credibility. Because laws differ from state to state, we strongly recommend that you have your lawyer review any changes that you make to your policies. Some sections include more than one sample and some sections include suggestions [ in bold italics ] that you should remove when customizing the sample for your own use. For an overview of the theory behind Employee Handbooks, read Business - Creating an Effective Employee Handbook at: http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/gopher/Business-Development/Success- Series/Vol10/handbook.txt To see an example of a complete Employee Handbook, look at the sample at HrVillage.com (http://www.hrvillage.com/PandP/all.htm) In general: Use friendly, conversational language as opposed to language that sounds contractual. Keep it brief and only cover key issues that concern the majority of employees. Date the handbook and keep it up-to-date. Have employees sign an acknowledgment that they have read the handbook. Seek legal advice and review. Don't include policies that you cannot state clearly and without ambiguities. Don't include policies unless you plan to follow them rigorously. Don't include details that are likely to change. Don't include procedures for supervisors, especially hiring, probationary, discipline, evaluation, promotion, or firing procedures. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 2 "Your Name" Public Library District Employee Handbook "Insert Month and Year" 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 3 Source: LRI Management Services, Inc. http://www.lrims.com/sampledisclaimer.html AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT SAMPLE DISLCAIMER The following is a sample disclaimer from an employee handbook. It is important to remember that laws and regulations vary from state to state, so this and any other language (whether included in a handbook, policy manual, application or other document) should be carefully reviewed by competent labor counsel prior to being used. This handbook does not constitute a contract for employment for any period of time but merely sets forth policies and procedures in effect on the date it was issued. This handbook may be amended from time to time without prior notice to employees. Additional policies and procedures specific to particular job classifications may be added as needed. Both the Company and an employee have the right to terminate the employment relationship at anytime, with or without cause or notice. Please understand that no supervisor, manager, or representative of the Company other than the President, has the authority to enter into any agreement with you for employment for any specified period of time or to make any promises or commitments contrary to the foregoing. Further, any employment agreement entered into by the President will not be enforceable unless it is in writing. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 4 Source: Employee Handbook Introduction (for Wachusett Regional School District) http://www.wrsd.net/employeehandbookintroduction.htm INTRODUCTION A Message From The Superintendent On behalf of the Wachusett Regional School Committee, the members of the Administrative Team and your fellow employees, I am pleased to welcome you to the District and to wish you success with your employment here. I hope that you will enjoy all the satisfaction that comes from a career in public education. This handbook was developed to describe some of the expectations the District has for its employees, and to outline the policies, programs, and benefits that are available to eligible employees. You should familiarize yourself with the contents of the Employee Handbook as soon as possible, for it will answer most questions you may have about employment with the District. We believe that an employee contributes directly to the District's ability to provide the best education possible to the children we serve. We hope that you will take pride in being a member of our team and that your experience with the District will be challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. Again, welcome! Very truly yours, Alfred D.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training. {Your Company} expressly prohibits any form of unlawful employee harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Improper interference with the ability to {your Company's} employees to perform their expected job duties is absolutely not tolerated. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE Each member of management is responsible for creating an atmosphere free of discrimination. Further, employees are responsible for respecting the rights of their coworkers. If you experience any job-related discrimination or harassment based on your race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, amnesty, or status as a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran, or if you believe you have been treated in a unlawful, discriminatory manner or have been unlawfully harassed, promptly report the incident to your supervisor. If you believe it would be inappropriate to discuss the matter with your supervisor, report it directly to the head of your Department or the head of the Office of Human Resources. Once made aware of your complaint, {your Company} is committed to commence an immediate, thorough investigation of the allegations. Your complaint will be kept confidential to the maximum extent possible. If, at the completion of the investigation, {your Company} determines that an employee is guilty of discriminatory or harassing behavior, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the offending employee. {Your Company} prohibits any form of retaliation against any employee for filing a bona fide complaint under this policy or for assisting in the complaint investigation. However, if, after investigating any complaint of unlawful discrimination, {your Company} determines that an employee intentionally provided false information regarding the complaint, disciplinary action may be taken against the one who gave the false information. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 7 Source: Employment Law Information Center http://www.elinfonet.com/pickedpol/144.html SEXUAL AND OTHER HARASSMENT [COMPANY] prohibits sexual harassment of its employees and applicants for employment by any [COMPANY] employee or applicant. Such conduct may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. This policy covers all employees. The [COMPANY] will not tolerate, condone or allow sexual harassment, whether engaged in by fellow employees, supervisors, associates, clients or other non-employees who conduct business with the [COMPANY]. Sexual harassment is any behavior that includes unwelcome sexual advances and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: • submission to, or rejection of, such conduct is used as the basis for promotions or other employment decisions; • the conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual's job performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. [COMPANY] employees are entitled to work in an environment free from sexual harassment and a hostile or offensive working environment. [COMPANY] recognizes sexual harassment as unlawful discrimination, just as conduct that belittles or demeans any individual on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual preference, age, disability, or other similar characteristics or circumstances. No manager or supervisor shall threaten or imply that an employee's refusal to submit to sexual advances will adversely affect that person's employment, compensation, advancement, assigned duties, or any other term or condition of employment or career development. Sexual joking, lewd pictures and any conduct that tends to make employees of one gender "sex objects" are prohibited. Employees who have complaints of sexual harassment should (and are encouraged to) report such complaints to their supervisor. If this person is the cause of the offending conduct, the employee may report this matter directly to [specify various officials, (e.g., Director of Human Resources, designated Vice Presidents, President, etc.]. Your complaint will be promptly and thoroughly investigated. Confidentiality of reports and investigations of sexual harassment will be maintained to the greatest extent possible. Any manager, supervisor, or employee who, after appropriate investigation, is found to have engaged in sexual harassment of another employee or tutor will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. If any party directly involved in a sexual harassment investigation is dissatisfied with the outcome or resolution, that individual has the right to appeal the decision. The 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 8 dissatisfied party should submit his or her written comments to [specify official (e.g., Director of Human Resources)]. [COMPANY] will not in any way retaliate against any individual who makes a report of sexual harassment nor permit any employee to do so. Retaliation is a serious violation of this sexual harassment policy and should be reported immediately. Any person found to have retaliated against another individual for reporting sexual harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Source: Employment Law Information Center http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/eecateg2_pol.php EMPLOYEE CATEGORIES The company categorizes employees in the following categories: Regular Full-Time Employees: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work [specify minimum number of hours that employee has to work during work week (e.g., 35 hours)] per week. Full time employees are considered eligible for all employee benefits. Regular Part-Time Employees: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work [specify minimum number of hours that employee has to work during work week (e.g., 20 hours)] per week. Unless otherwise specified or as required by law, regular part-time employees are not eligible for employee benefits. Temporary Employees: An employee who is hired for a temporary period, generally less than six (6) months. Temporary employees should have no expectation of continued or regular employment and cannot become a regular employee unless such an offer of regular employment has been made to the employee. Unless otherwise specified or as required by law, temporary employees are not eligible for employee benefits. Non-Exempt and Exempt Employees: The federal Fair Labor Standards Act classifies employees as either non-exempt or exempt for the purpose of minimum wage and overtime requirements. Under federal law, non-exempt employees are entitled to minimum wage and, if they work more than 40 hours in a work week, overtime. Your job duties determine whether you are exempt or non-exempt. Generally, hourly employees are non-exempt employees and salaried employees, such as administrators, executives and professionals, are exempt. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 9 Source: HrVillage.com http://www.hrvillage.com/PandP/all.htm TERMINATION Employees who voluntarily resign from the Company are asked to provide at least two weeks advance notice of their resignation. This notice should be in writing and should briefly state the reason for leaving and the anticipated last day of work. If a terminating employee is eligible for any incentive compensation, bonus, and/or awards, they must be actively employed on the date the compensation, bonus or awards are presented or paid, in order to receive the compensation, bonus or award. ______________________________________________________________________ Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_wkc.html WORKER'S COMPENSATION Employees who are injured on the job at XYG are covered by Worker's Compensation Insurance. It is your responsibility to immediately notify your immediate supervisor - or in the absence of your supervisor, the next available supervisor - of any injuries you sustain while on the job at XYG. This supervisor will notify your personnel representative. We encourage injured employees to seek immediate medical attention. All medical expenses related to the treatment of an injury, sustained on the job, are paid in full direct to the medical providers. After a specified waiting period, you are also eligible for disability payments set forth by state law, where necessary. The Worker's Compensation plan is administered by a separate insurance company who will be notified by your personnel representative. You will be contacted by a representative of the administering company. Information on the current company administering this plan will be provided to you by your personnel representative and is available on posters displayed in your work area. Additional information on Worker's Compensation Insurance is available through the Personnel office. [ Employers may require immediate reporting of an injury on the job, but in Colorado in order to qualify for Workers Compensation benefits, employees are only required to notify their employer in writing within four days of the injury. ] 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 10 Source: Montgomery Work-Life Alliance (Family Oriented Personnel Policies section) http://www.worklifemontgomery.org/fopp8a.html WEATHER / EMERGENCY CLOSINGS Supervisors are encouraged to remember that many employees have dependents in school or other dependent care arrangements, where inclement weather (snow) closing policies may not be congruent with (the employer's). Supervisors are asked to be sensitive to this situation as it can result in employees feeling pressured to leave those who need their care and supervision unattended. Whenever possible, requests for leave to attend to dependents during school "snow days" (closings, late openings, and early dismissals) should be favorably considered. The amount of leave granted should be commensurate with the school schedule. For example, if schools are opening two hours late, the employee may need two and a half hours of leave to include travel time after the child or dependent leaves the house; if the schools are closing at noon, the employee may need to leave before noon in order to be home by the time the child arrives. If, under these circumstances, employees offer to "flex" their work schedules, or to work at home to make up the time and work lost, supervisors are encouraged to consider this option. Source: Employment Law Information Network http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/emergclosing_pol.php CLOSINGS DUE TO EMERGENCIES Emergency conditions, such as sever weather and power outages, may cause the company to close temporarily. We will notify you as soon as practicable when such a closing will occur. Employees will not be paid for time that is not actually worked due to an emergency closing. [ Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers who deduct pay from exempt employees who are ready to work when work is not available jeopardize the employees' exempt status. ] 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 11 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_ins.html GROUP INSURANCE XYZ Corporation (The Company) makes health insurance, life insurance and accidental death coverage (group benefits) available to eligible employees (see definitions) and their eligible family members. The Company pays the majority of the premiums for the group benefits, with the employee sharing the balance of the cost. Single and family plans are set at different contribution rates. Long term disability benefits are also offered at no cost to employees. The low cost of these benefits is an important part of each eligible employee's compensation package. Eligible employees may also purchase optional life insurance for spouses and dependents. Eligible employees are all full-time employees who have completed ninety (90) calendar days of employment; and part-time employees who work at least twenty-five (25) regular hours a week and have completed ninety (90) calendar days of employment. Specific details on coverage and benefits are outlined in XYG's Health Benefit Handbook. It is provided to you during employee orientation. You will also receive authorization forms for all benefits at orientation. Please see your personnel representative if you have not been scheduled for orientation or have not received the Benefit Handbook. [ In general, for all benefits, language in an employee handbook should be carefully reviewed to ensure that it does not promise eligibility which conflicts with the plan requirements. It is best not to spell out the details of each plan, but be sure to indicate where they can receive further information. ] 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 12 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_ret.html RETIREMENT PLAN XYG employees have the opportunity to participate in a retirement plan which allows employees to save a portion of their compensation for retirement. After one year of service, employees are eligible to participate in the plan. Contributions to this plan are pre-tax dollars, which means the amount specified by the employee is taken from his/her salary before federal income is taken out. The employee is then taxed on the remaining salary, resulting in additional savings. It should be noted that any distribution from the 401(k) plan will be subject to tax, whether that be early or qualified distribution. Early distribution may also carry a monetary penalty. See your personnel representative for more details and a copy of the XYG Employee Savings Plan. Contributions by the company are based on the amount contributed by the employee, with XYG matching 30% of the employee's contribution. As with employee contributions, taxes on company contributions and their related earnings, are deferred until distribution from the plan. Company contributions are not fully vested to the employee until after a five year period; employee contributions are fully vested from the time of contribution. Employees are urged to seek advice from a financial expert prior to any distribution from the 401(k) plan. XYG also contributes to the 401(k) for employees participating in this plan. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 13 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_std.html SHORT TERM DISABILITY Short-term disability benefits are designed to provide a paycheck to employees during periods of serious illness resulting in total disability. Many companies offer optional long-term disability insurance (often paid by the employee), and short-term disability insurance covers the employee during the "gap" between the two insurance policies. Short term disability (STD) benefits provide income continuation during periods of serious illness resulting in total disability. You are "totally disabled" if you are unable to perform your job due to major illness or accidental bodily injury. XYG employees bear no cost for this plan benefit which provides up to 180 days of short term disability benefits within a twelve-month period. The employee's total disability period must exceed ten (10) consecutive working days to qualify for STD benefits; and all Sick Leave benefits must be exhausted before an employee can request STD benefits. Once the initial ten (10) day waiting period is met, STD benefits will be retroactive to the first unpaid day of absence (if sick leave benefits are exhausted). Regular full-time and regular part-time employees of XYG are eligible for this benefit once they have completed ninety (90) calendar days of service and work at least thirty (30) days per week on a regular basis. Under STD benefits, eligible employees are paid 80% of their normal base salary. This means the employee will be paid based upon your regular rate of pay excluding overtime, bonus, vacation, and any other accrued paid leave or additional compensation. STD benefits may not exceed 80% of your base salary, unless augmented by available accrued vacation. If additional payments from worker's compensation or state disability, while you are on STD benefits, increase your overall benefits to exceed 80%, your STD benefits will be reduced accordingly. Group health benefits will continue on the same basis as prior to the onset of STD benefits. STD benefits will be subject to all payroll withholding elections of the employee which were in effect prior to the short term disability. It is important that an employee provide their supervisor with the treating doctor's statement as soon as you know an illness or injury will result in an absence greater than ten (10) days. The doctor's statement must identify the nature of your disability and the date you are expected to be able to return to work. XYG may require a second medical opinion, at its own expense, and periodic re-certifications. If there are discrepancies in the first and second opinions, we may require a third doctor to render a medical opinion. This third doctor will be selected jointly by XYG and the employee, and the third opinion will be binding both on us and the employee. Upon returning to work, you must provide a release, or return to work form, from the doctor treating your illness or injury. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 14 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_hol.html HOLIDAYS XYG RECOGNIZES THE FOLLOWING HOLIDAYS: NEW YEARS DAY, GOOD FRIDAY, MEMORIAL DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY, LABOR DAY, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS AND TWO FLOATING HOLIDAYS. When a holiday falls on a weekend, XYG will designate the Friday preceding or Monday following as the observed holiday at the discretion of The Company. Regular full-time employees are paid eight (8) hours for each holiday, regular part-time employees are paid for holidays based upon the number of hours they are normally scheduled. Temporary employees are not paid for holidays, unless they are specifically requested to work on the designated holiday (see Overtime). The two (2) floating holidays are available to all full-time employees beginning the first of January following the employees first anniversary. Once eligible, the floating holiday are available annually. Floating holidays must be scheduled with, and approved, by your supervisor at least three (3) weeks in advance of the requested date, and may not be taken consecutively. Floating holidays may not be carried forward to be used in the following year. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 15 Source: Employment Law Information Network http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/vacation_pol.php VACATION Full-time and part-time employees with benefits are entitled to vacation days in accordance with the table below: Calendar Year of Continuous Employment Vacation Days Until first June 1 following date of employment 1/2 day per month After first June 1 following date of employment 10 days per year through 4 calendar years of employment Over 5 years of employment 15 days per year Regular part-time employees with benefits earn vacation on a pro-rata basis. Vacation pay is at your regular rate of pay. Vacation days are accrued but cannot be used during the first six months of employment. Vacation time must be taken in half-day or larger units. In order to encourage you to take your full vacation each calendar year, you will not be able to carry any vacation days over into the following year. We will not pay you for any unused vacation time, either while employed or at the time of termination (see section on Resignations and Terminations for exception). Should a paid holiday fall within your vacation, you will be entitled to an additional day off with pay or the day may be added to your vacation. This decision will be reached by mutual agreement between you and your supervisor. Vacation pay is based on your regular rate of pay. All vacation requests must be made one (1) month in advance by submitting a vacation request form and are subject to approval to assure adequate coverage during your vacation. In determining vacation schedules, three important factors are considered: your preferences, your seniority (in case of conflicting requests) and the needs of (COMPANY). [ Some policies include a "use it or lose it" clause. In Colorado that may not be legal. Vacation earned is considered wages earned and you should not take it away once it has been earned. One way to write a policy is to put a "cap" on the amount of vacation time an employee may earn. The policy could read: "Employees are not eligible to earn any additional vacation once they have reached their "cap," until they use all or a portion of their earned vacation." Also remember that vacation earned is considered wages earned, and all wages are due and payable to an employee upon termination.] 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 16 Source: Employment Law Information Network http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/sick_pol.php SICK DAYS [COMPANY] provides paid sick time. Sick leave may be taken only when an employee is unable to be present for work due to illness. [COMPANY] may request that the employee furnish a doctor's certificate or other reasonable proof when absent for three (3) days or when circumstance warrant, such as situations where questions arise concerning the legitimacy of the absence. Full-time staff employees earn sick time at a rate of 8 hours per month of continuous employment during the calendar year. Part-time staff employees with benefits will earn sick-time on a pro-rata basis, with a maximum accrual rate of one (1) day per month. No sick time will be paid during the first six (6) months of employment, but sick time will accrue during this period. You may not accumulate or carry over more than 60 days of sick leave. Employees are not paid for unused sick time, including upon resignation or termination. Time off for sickness taken in less than a full day will be deducted in units of one (1) rounded up to the nearest hour. Source: HrVillage.com http://www.elifonet.com/policies/sick_po1.php SICK DAYS Sick days are provided for illness of the employee, their spouse or children. Employees should use their personal days or vacation days non-illness related time off. All full-time employees will receive sick days according to the following schedule: Employees will be eligible for paid sick days after 6 months of employment. After 6 months of employment, employees will be eligible for one sick day for every two months worked from date of hire, with a maximum of 5 days in their first year of employment. Every succeeding calendar year, employees will be eligible for 5 sick days. Sick days may be accumulated and carried over from year to year to a maximum of 10 days. All other unused sick days by the end of the year is forfeited. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 17 Source: Employment Law Information Center http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/loa_pol.php LEAVES OF ABSENCE (Non FMLA) If you are ill, pregnant, or have a disability which extends beyond your accumulated sick leave and have worked for at least one continuous year, you may request a leave of absence without pay of up to ninety (90) days. The leave may be extended beyond ninety (90) days in intervals not exceeding thirty (30) days for up to six (6) months provided you request extensions prior to the expiration of the authorized leave. Leave requests and requests for extensions of leave must be accompanied by a doctor's certificate. To the extent practicable, [COMPANY] will hold your job for you for a maximum of sixty (60) days, after which [COMPANY] will make every effort to offer you the first available similar position. Following any medical leave of absence you must bring in a doctor's report showing you are able to resume your job duties without restriction. If you do not return from a medical leave when scheduled without the agreement of [COMPANY] it will be assumed that you decided not to return to work and have resigned. [COMPANY] reserves the right to grant a personal leave of absence for a compelling reason. During the period of leave, the employee will retain his/her previously-earned seniority, vacation and sick time, but no additional benefits shall accrue. Source: HrVillage.com http://www.hrvillage.com/PandP/all.htm LEAVE OF ABSENCE Employees are eligible to apply for an unpaid leave of absence if they have been a regular employee of the Company for at least one year and scheduled to work 20 hours or more a week. The employee's manager will make a decision on the leave request. The request for leave will be reviewed based on the reason for the request, previous attendance record, previous leave requests and the impact the absence will have on the Company. Authorized leaves for illness or disability begin after employees have exhausted accrued sick leave, vacation and personal holiday time. A personal leave of absence, if granted, begins after vacation and personal holiday time have been used. Human Resources can provide employees with which benefits, in addition to retained seniority, can be continued during the leave. If an employee wishes to continue benefits, it must arranged for directly with Human Resources. If the request for leave of absence for personal reasons, the employee's manager, with the advice of Human Resources, will decide whether the current position will be held open, or if a position will be made available upon the employees return from leave. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 18 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_fnl.html FUNERAL LEAVE XYG allows three (3) days off, with pay, for a death in your immediate family. Immediate family includes parents, spouse, children, brothers, sisters, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparents, or grandchildren. You may request up to an additional two (2) days, which must be approved by your immediate supervisor and the department head. If accrued vacation is available, this benefit will be used for the additional two days; otherwise, the additional two days will be unpaid. Funeral leave for death of other than immediate family must be approved by your immediate supervisory and the department head. Absence for such a death is limited to two (2) days and will be unpaid. _____________________________________________________________________ Source: Employment Law Information Center http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/military_pol.php MILITARY LEAVE Military leaves are governed by federal and state law, and will be treated in accordance with applicable regulations. Generally, such leaves include National Guard and Reserve duty, and must be granted. Where reasonably possible, employees must give advance notice that he/she will be taking a military leave of absence. [ Military Leave legal requirements are different for public and private employers. ] 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 19 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_jury.html JURY DUTY We, at XYG, support employees called to fulfill their civic duty to serve jury duty when called. You must provide your immediate supervisor with a copy of your jury summons as immediately, as possible, upon receiving the summons. Your regular salary will continue as before jury duty for each day served, up to 40 hours per week, for a maximum of four (4) weeks. Adequate proof of service must be provided in order to receive your regular salary during your absence for jury duty. When you return to work, you should provide your immediate supervisor with verification from the court of the number of days you served on the jury, and the amount that you were paid per day. If the amount you are compensated by the court, per day, exceeds twenty ($20) dollars per day, your regular pay will be offset by the excess amount. Extenuating circumstances, which would cause this deduction to become a penalty, must be discussed with and approved by your immediate supervisor. If you are released from jury duty with at least four (4) hours remaining in your work day, you should return to work for the remainder of the day. Should extraordinary circumstances exist, at the time of your call to jury duty, which would make your absence severely detrimental to the operation of our company, we reserve the right to contact the court to request that your service be postponed. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 20 Source: Illinois Institute of Technology http://www.iit.edu/policies/personnel/c8.htm VOTING It is the policy of the university to encourage every employee to exercise his/her civic responsibilities. The following provisions comply with state law regarding election days. In Illinois, the polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. which should allow sufficient time for almost all employees to vote prior to arriving at work or after work. Unusual circumstances may arise, however, where employees will not have adequate time to vote before or after work. In these cases, the following guidelines shall apply to non-union employees: Non-exempt (hourly) employees wishing to take additional time off from work without pay must provide their supervisor with at least 24 hours advance notice of their intention to do so. Exempt (salaried) employees must likewise give notification, but must be paid for the release time. Supervisors must allow the employee up to a maximum of two (2) hours, either at the start or end of the employee's scheduled workday. The supervisor has the right to specify which part of the workday is authorized in order to provide adequate coverage. Union employees are governed by the applicable provisions of the appropriate labor agreement. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 21 Source: HrVillage.com http://www.hrvillage.com/PandP/all.htm HOURS OF WORK The office is normally open from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm Central time. Certain employees may be assigned to different work schedules and/or shifts outside of normal office hours. If an employee must be outside of the office for non-business related reasons during their normal work schedule, they should inform their manager. _______________________________________________________________________ Source: Human Resources - Illinois Institute of Technology http://www.iit.edu/policies/personnel/d2.htm TIME AND ATTENDANCE REPORTING To comply with federal and state laws and regulations, staff members are required to maintain and submit accurate records of hours and days worked and records of absence. The university provides staff with a Time Report or timecard to complete on a semi- monthly or bi-weekly basis. These must be signed by the employee and by the supervisor and returned to Payroll immediately upon the close of the payroll period. Record of Hours Worked - Exempt Employees Executive, administrative and professional employees are identified as "exempt" within the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. These salaried personnel are not required to log the daily number of hours worked on the Time Report. As required by federal law, time worked or not worked will be computed for pay purposes only in full days (7: hour increments). Time Report entries are made only for whole days of absence when a pre-designated code is selected to record the reason for the day of absence and the paid or unpaid time off category to which it should be charged. Record of Hours Worked - Non-Exempt Employees All other staff are referred to as "non-exempt" or hourly employees. These personnel must record daily on the Time Report, or by timeclock, the number of hours worked. Time worked or not worked will be computed for pay purposes in 15 minute intervals. For the full-time non-union employee, this is typically a 7: hour day. Union employees are governed by the terms of their respective collective bargaining agreements. Time missed from a full day of work must be coded in quarter-hour increments as above on the Time Report or timecard to record the reason for absence. Alternatively, with advance supervisory approval, non-union employees may "make up" this missed time during the same calendar week in order to complete the 38: hour workweek. In all cases, the actual number of hours worked each day must be recorded. Falsification of time recording will lead to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 22 Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_at.html ATTENDANCE Employees are expected to arrive at work before they are scheduled to start and be at their work station productively engaged in XYZ business by the scheduled start time. All time off must be requested in advance and submitted in writing, as outlined in the appropriate categories; except sick leave. See Sick Leave and other categories for specific details. XYZ views attendance as one of the most important facets of your job performance review. All unapproved absences will be noted in the employee's personnel file. Excessive absences, including for Sick Leave, will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination _______________________________________________________________________ Source: Employment Law Information Network http://www.elinfonet.com/policies/payroll_pol.php PAYROLL PERIOD and PAYDAY The workweek begins on Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. and ends the following Saturday at 1:00 p.m. You will be paid by check on the 1st and the 15th of each month. If a regular payday falls on a holiday every effort will be made to have paychecks ready for distribution on the day before. ______________________________________________________________________ Source: Employment Law Information Network http://www.elinfonet.com/pickedpol/103.html OVERTIME Non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act are eligible for overtime for all hours worked in excess of 40 in any work week. We hope you will comply with any requests to work overtime. All overtime must be approved in advance by [specify official (e.g., your Area Manager)]. Overtime is paid at the rate of one-and-one-half times (1-½x) your regular hourly rate of pay. No lunch, sick, holiday or vacation time is included in calculating overtime. 12/8/2010 SWRLSS - TEMPLATE - Employee Handbook 23 Source: Bessemer Research Group – Work Related Guidelines http://www.bessemersearch.com/hr/policies.html#ExpeReim EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT You must have your manager's written authorization prior to incurring an expense on behalf of **COMPANY**. To be reimbursed for all authorized expenses, you must submit an expense report/voucher accompanied by receipts and approved by your manager. Please submit your expense report/voucher each week, as you incur authorized reimbursable expenses. If you are asked to conduct company business using your personal vehicle, you will be reimbursed at the rate 32¢ per mile. Please submit this expense on your weekly expense report/voucher.

We hope individuals will try to reconcile differences on an individual basis. Should this not be possible, to resolve a problem quickly and fairly, [COMPANY] has developed a grievance procedure using the following steps: 1. If you have a problem, notify your supervisor immediately. Most difficulties can be settled promptly at this point. The supervisor shall respond in writing within five (5) days of meeting with you. 2. If the problem is not resolved to your satisfaction you (and a co-worker of your choice, if you wish) may go to [specify official] and verbally explain the problem to him/her; or you may instead submit the problem to him/her in writing. This step should be taken within five (5) working days after your supervisor has given his/her decision or after the incident giving rise to your grievance, whichever is later. If the circumstances require it, the [previously identified official] will conduct an investigation. Following his/her investigation, the [previously identified official] will respond in writing to your grievance. The decision of the [previously identified official] shall be [COMPANY]'s final decision. _____________________________________________________________________ Source: SBA Online Women's Business Center http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/manage/hrpol_smk.html SMOKING XYG endeavors to provide a healthy environment, therefore prohibits any form of tobacco consumed in company buildings.
