(A) For purposes of this subchapter, all employees will be referred to as “employee(s)”. The town of Sunman, Indiana will be referred to as the “town”.
(B) This subchapter has been designed to acquaint employees with the town and provide them with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting employment. Employees are responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with all provisions of this subchapter. It describes many responsibilities of an employee 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 change, the need may arise and the town reserves the right to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the handbook from time to time as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. All changes will be made in accordance with federal, state, and local employment-related laws. Employees will, of course, be notified of such changes to the handbook as they occur and employees will be expected to acknowledge in writing they have received those changes.
(D) Nothing in this subchapter shall be interpreted to prohibit or otherwise restrict concerted activities by employees that are protected by law.
