GENERAL INFORMATION
§ 33.001 GENERAL INFORMATION.
   (A)   The policies contained in this chapter and throughout the Town of Monon Personnel Policies Handbook apply to all Town of Monon employees, except when in direct conflict with special employment conditions set forth by various statutes governing employment relationships.
   (B)   This Town of Monon Personnel Policies Handbook is designed to provide employees with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting employees employment. Employees should read, understand, and comply with all provisions of the policy. The Town of Monon Personnel Policies Handbook describes many responsibilities as an employee and outlines the programs developed to benefit town employees. One of the town’s objectives is to provide a work environment that is conducive to both personal and professional growth.
   (C)   Nothing in this policy is intended to, in any sense, constitute a contract of employment. Town of Monon is an "At-Will" employer which refers to the nature of the employment relationship, which means that the employee may resign at any time and the employer may discharge an employee at any time with or without cause.
   (D)   This personnel policy is not a contract of employment and in no way grants property interests or contractual rights to Town of Monon employees. This policy does not create an entitlement or an expectation of continued employment.
   (E)   No employee handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about policies. As the Town of Monon continues to grow, the need may arise to change the policies described in the handbook. The Town of Monon therefore reserves the right to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the policies from time to time as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. Employees will, of course, be notified of such changes as they occur.
   (F)   While the Town of Monon believes these policies are accurate, they are only summaries, and any discrepancies between these summaries (such as insurance policies) shall be governed by the actual terms of the underlying, more detailed plan documents.
