lished, may be changed, modified, suspended, cancelled, oramended at any time, in Baptist’s sole discretion with or withoutnotice.While the Employee Handbook and the policies and procedureson Baptist’s intranet are intended to serve as reference tools, allemployees are strongly encouraged to communicate openly withtheir managers or supervisors and/or human resources if questionsor issues arise during the course of their employment. However,no statement or promise by a manager or supervisor maybe interpreted as a change in policy nor will it constitute anagreement with an employee.Compliance With All Applicable LawsThe Organization will act in compliance with any and all applicablefederal and state laws, including any amendments to existinglaws and any new laws that may become effective subsequent tothe publishing of this Employee Handbook. The Organization iscommitted to making a good faith effort to comply with eachand every applicable law. As part of the Organization’s commitment,to the extent any part of this Employee Handbook is inconflict with an applicable federal or state law, said law shall control.Should any provision of this Employee Handbook be foundto be invalid, such finding does not invalidate the entire EmployeeHandbook, but only the subject provision.The Employment RelationshipBaptist strongly believes it is a great organization and offers apositive and rewarding atmosphere in which to work. Baptist alsorecognizes that occasionally, an employee may not be a fit for theOrganization. When such circumstances arise, Baptist understandsthat employees are free to terminate their employment with theOrganization at any time, and Baptist retains the same options.Neither these guidelines, nor any portion thereof, are a contract orguarantee of employment. Unless a written employment contractprovides otherwise, each Baptist employee is employed at will.We of course hope every employment relationship will be mutuallysuccessful; nevertheless, unless otherwise provided by contract,employees are free to end their employment at any time,and Baptist may do the same.9
