This Handbook is a general summary of the policies and employee benefits available to employees of XYZ Corporation (referred to throughout this Handbook as “XYZ” or “XYZ Corp.” or the “Company”). The procedures and policies in this Handbook and any applicable State Supplement or other Supplement are designed to manage expectations, establish efficient procedures, and provide transparency in your relationship with the Company and your colleagues. The Handbook is provided for your use as a reference guide and not a contract. The Company, at its option, may change, delete, suspend, or discontinue any part or parts of the policies in this Handbook at any time without prior notice. Any such action shall apply to existing as well as future employees. No one other than the CEO of the Company may alter or modify any of the policies in this Handbook, and even then, such modification must be in writing and signed by the CEO. No statement or promise by a manager, or department head may be interpreted as a change in policy, nor will it constitute an agreement with an employee.

This Handbook supersedes any previous employee handbooks, manuals, or policy statements for the Company. Nothing in this Handbook is intended to preclude or dissuade you from engaging in activities protected by federal or state law, including the National Labor Relations Act, such as discussing wages, benefits or terms and conditions of employment, forming, joining, or supporting labor unions, bargaining collectively through representatives of your own choosing, raising complaints about working conditions for you and your fellow employees’ mutual aid or protection, or any legally protected activities.
