Holidays
|
The company observes various holidays throughout its U.S.-based facilities.
Exact days that the company will observe these holidays will be distributed
on an annual basis. Manufacturing facilities may need to vary from this
holiday schedule based on work schedules and business demands.
At the beginning of the year, a Diversity/Volunteer Day will be available
as part of the paid holiday schedule. The Diversity/Volunteer Day can
be utilized to allow time off in connection with those areas of diversity/personal
interest that are important to associates as individuals. This day may
be used for the purpose of taking time to attend events such as religious
observances, veteran’s events, cultural events, parenting needs,
as well as for volunteer efforts. The day should be utilized so that
it best meets an associate’s individual needs.
When taken at the associate’s request, the Diversity/Volunteer
Day must be taken in a full day
increment only, scheduled in advance and approved by his/her functional
leader. Upon termination, associates will not be reimbursed for an unused
Diversity/Volunteer Day.

an associate’s vacation period, it will not be counted as a vacation
day. While on an approved leave of absence, associates do not receive
holiday pay.

associates will be paid based on their normal work schedule.
