Introductory Statement INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This handbook is designed to acquaint you with Wilkinson Electric & Ace Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (Wilkinson/Ace) 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 Wilkinson/Ace 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. In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration of policies and procedures, Wilkinson/Ace 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 Wilkinson/Ace to end our relationship for any reason at any time. This handbook is not an employment contract and is not intended to create contractual obligations of any kind. If it is necessary to make changes to any policy or procedure, employees will be notified, in writing, of those changes and their effective date. You are encouraged to refer to this manual with any questions concerning the policies or procedures of Wilkinson/Ace.
