Harrell's Employee Handbook

Harrell’s Employee Handbook, September 2023

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION INSURANCE The Company pays unemployment compensation insurance and provides temporary income for employees who have lost their jobs. Please see Human Resources for additional information on unemployment compensation insurance. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION Workers’ compensation is a “no-fault” system that provides compensation for medical expenses and wage losses to employees who are injured or who become ill because of employment. Harrell’s pays the entire cost of workers’ compensation insurance. The insurance covers related medical and rehabilitation expenses and a portion of lost wages to employees who sustain an injury on the job. The Company abides by all applicable state workers’ compensation laws and regulations. If an employee sustains a job-related injury or illness, the employee shall notify the supervisor and Compliance immediately. The supervisor will complete an injury report with input from the employee and return the form to the Compliance Department. Compliance will file the claim with the insurance company. In cases of true medical emergencies, report to the nearest emergency room. If applicable, workers’ compensation benefits (paid or unpaid) will run concurrently with FMLA leave, where permitted by state and federal law. In addition, employees will not be paid vacation or sick leave for approved absences covered by the Company’s workers’ compensation program except to supplement the workers’ compensation benefits, such as when the plan only covers a portion of the employee’s salary as allowed by state law. EMPLOYMENT AT WILL Employment at Harrell’s is on an at-will basis unless otherwise stated in a written individual employment agreement signed by the CEO of the Company. This means that the employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Nothing in this employee handbook creates or is intended to create an employment agreement, express or implied. Nothing contained in this, or any other document provided to the employee, is intended to be, nor should it be, construed as a contract that employment or any benefit will be continued for any period of time. In addition, no company representative is authorized to modify this policy for any employee or to enter into any agreement, oral or written, that changes the at-will relationship. Any salary figures provided to an employee in annual or monthly terms are stated for convenience or to facilitate comparisons and are not intended to and do not create an employment contract for any specific period. Nothing in this statement is intended to interfere with, restrain, or prevent concerted activity as protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Such activity includes employee communications regarding wages, hours, or other terms or conditions of employment. Harrell’s employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities.
