Jorgensen - President - Quantum Data
As a member of Quantum Data's team, you will be expected
to contribute your talents and energies to improve the environment
and quality of the company, as well as the company's products.
In return, you will be given opportunities to grow and advance
in your career.
Quantum Data is dedicated to two standards:
- To provide our customers with the best quality products
at the best prices with the best service.
- To provide you with wages and benefits comparable
to others doing similar work within the industry and
within the region.
The only things we require for employment, compensation,
advancement, and benefits are performance and a good team
attitude; however, all employment at Quantum Data is "at
will." No one will be denied opportunities or benefits
on the basis of age, sex, color, race, creed, national origin,
religious persuasion, marital status, political belief,
or disability that does not prohibit performance of essential
job functions; nor will anyone receive special treatment
for those reasons.
You may not have thought about it, but the value of your
benefits amounts to a considerable sum each year in addition
to the wages or salary you earn.
These are just some of the benefits Quantum Data provides
for eligible employees each year:
Annual Party or Outing
Dental Insurance
Disability Leave of Absence
Education Assistance
Employee Purchases
Every other Friday off
401(k) Plan
Flexible Spending
Funeral (Bereavement) Leave
Group Term Life Insurance
Health Care/Hospitalization Insurance
Paid Holidays
Paid Vacations
Personal Leave of Absence
Salary Continuation, Short-Term Disability
Social Security
Unemployment Compensation Insurance
Workers' Compensation Insurance
That's a lot to think about!
This Manual has been prepared to inform you about
Quantum Data's history, philosophy, employment practices,
and policies, as well as the benefits provided to you as
a valued employee and the conduct expected from you.
No employee manual can answer every question, nor would
we want to restrict the normal question and answer interchange
among us. It is in our person-to-person conversations that
we can better know each other, express our views, and work
together in a harmonious relationship.
We hope this Manual will help you feel comfortable with
us. We depend on you - your success is our success. Please
don't hesitate to ask questions. Your manager will gladly
answer them. We believe you will enjoy your work and your
fellow employees here. We also believe you will find Quantum
Data a good place to work.
We ask that you read this Manual carefully, and refer to
it whenever questions arise. We also suggest that you take
it home so your family can become familiar with Quantum
Data and our policies.
Quantum Data's policies, benefits and rules, as explained
in this Manual, may be changed from time to time as business,
employment legislation, and economic conditions dictate.
If and when provisions are changed, you will be given an
updated manual.
The policies in this Manual are to be considered
as guidelines. Quantum Data, at its option, may change,
delete, suspend or discontinue any part or parts of the
policies in this Manual at any time without prior notice.
Any such action shall apply to existing as well as future
employees with continued employment being the consideration
between the employer and employee. Employees may not accrue
eligibility for monetary benefits that they have not earned
through actual time spent at work. Employees shall not accrue
eligibility for any benefits, rights, or privileges beyond
the last day worked. No one other than the President of
Quantum Data may alter or modify any of the policies in
this Manual. No statement or promise by a supervisor, manager,
or department head may be interpreted as a change in policy
nor will it constitute an agreement with an employee.
Should any provision in this Employee Manual be found to
be unenforceable and invalid, such finding does not invalidate
the entire Employee Manual, but only the subject provision.
This manual supersedes all other previous manuals for Quantum
Data as of December, 1995
