COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT VOLUNTEER
PROGRAM
As a local employer we believe it is important to
respond to the human needs and interests of the
community. In doing so we make significant
contributions at a corporate level, and at the same
time we wholeheartedly support our employees in
their personal efforts to assist local non-profit
organizations. We believe that in addition to basic
monetary contributions we can offer these
organizations the labor and skills available through
our staff.
As a means to encourage this participation through
our Core year-round employees, we have established
the "Employees on Loan" program whereby
employees are allowed to take a certain number of
hours monthly up to a maximum of eight (8) away
from work during their regularly scheduled
workweek, with full pay, to assist a non-profit or
social service project. Recipient organization must
be a 501(c)(3). In order to participate in this
program, volunteers must complete a form available
from Payroll.
