INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This handbook is designed to acquaint you with The Sample Company and provide you with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting your employment. You should read, understand, and comply with all provisions of the handbook. It describes many of your responsibilities as an employee and outlines the programs developed by The Sample Company to benefit employees. One of our objectives is to provide a work environment that is conducive to both personal and professional growth.

No employee handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about policy. As The Sample Company continues to grow, the need may arise and The Sample Company 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. The only exception to any changes is our employment-at-will policy permitting you or The Sample Company to end our relationship for any reason at any time. Employees will, of course, be notified of such changes to the handbook as they occur.
