HUMAN RESOURCE MEMO

Date: August 8, 2002

To: All personnel

From: Human Resource Management

Subject: Policy for holiday days off

Management has considered the many variables involved in scheduling time off for holidays and has chosen a policy that should fit our corporate structure. There are two sections of the policy described below: holiday vacation and personal days off.

Holiday Vacation

You will be assigned a group number within your department. This group number is based on your job description. The numbers will vary depending on your group; but essentially people from the same group will not be taking the same vacation holidays. This will allow each department to have at least one person of each job description in the office at the same time, keeping the department complete and functionable. This policy is in addition to the company’s mandatory vacation days – those days when the office is closed.

Employees with the same group numbers can swap days as they wish, following the approval of their department manager. In most circumstances, if there is a discrepancy the decision will be made based on seniority.

Personal Days off

Personal day policies will remain the same with one exception. Employees who wish to work through some vacation days may add those worked days to their personal days for later use. For example, if Jane Doe doesn’t choose to celebrate Christmas Eve, she may work that day and add an extra day to her personal days for a summer vacation.We feel this new policy is fair to everyone and we have implemented all possible scenarios in the hopes of suiting the needs of all employees to the best of our ability.
