(A) For purposes of these work guidelines all employees will be referred to as “employee(s).” The Town of Albion, Indiana will be referred to as the “town.”
(B) These work guidelines have been designed to acquaint employees with the town and provide them with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting their employment. Employees are responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with all provisions of this chapter. It describes many of the responsibilities for employees and outlines the programs developed by the town to benefit employees. One of management’s objectives is to provide a work environment that is conducive to both personal and professional growth.
(C) No employee handbook may anticipate every circumstance or question about policy. As the town continues to grow, the need may arise and the town reserves the right to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of this handbook from time to time as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. The only exception to any changes is the employment-at-will policy permitting employees of the town to end their professional relationship for any reason at any time. Employees will be notified of such changes to this chapter as they occur and employees will be expected to acknowledge in writing that they have received those changes. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prohibit or otherwise restrict concerted activities by employees that are protected by law.
