Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) – continued If the employee has a serious health condition, the certification must state that the employee cannot perform the functions of his or her job. Benefits Coverage During Leave During a period of family or medical leave, an employee will be retained on Auto-Wares Group health plan under the same conditions that applied before leave commenced. To continue health coverage, the employee must continue to make any contributions that he or she made to the plan before taking leave. An employee is not entitled to the accrual of any seniority or employment benefits that would have occurred if not for the taking of leave. An employee who takes family or medical leave will not lose any employment benefits that accrued before the date leave began. Restoration to Employment Following Leave An employee eligible for family and medical leave, with the exception of those employees designated as “highly compensated employees,” will be restored to his or her old position or to a position with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. Auto-Wares Group cannot guarantee that an employee will be returned to his or her original job. A determination as to whether a position is an “equivalent position” will be made by Auto-Wares Group. Military Leave Auto-Wares complies with federal law regarding the rights of employees who enter active duty. If an employee is called into active duty and meets all legal requirements, the Company will allow the needed time off to fulfill this commitment as provided by federal law.

Items purchased for anyone outside this group will jeopardize your buying privilege. 1. Order from the counter before or after your scheduled shift, on your breaks or lunch period. 2.
