agrees with the disciplinary action, only that the warning was received. Failure to sign may result in
further disciplinary action or discharge.
MMI reserves the right to determine the appropriate level of discipline for any inappropriate conduct,
including oral and written warnings, suspension with or without pay, demotion and discharge.
In the event of an internal investigation, team members will be expected to cooperate with Human
Resources and management to resolve any issues. Failure to cooperate with an internal investigation
may include disciplinary action or discharge.
Separation of Employment
Separation of employment can occur for several different reasons.
Resignation: Although we hope your employment with us will be a mutually rewarding
experience, we understand that varying circumstances cause team members to voluntarily
resign employment. Resigning team members are encouraged to provide two weeks’ notice,
preferably in writing, to facilitate a smooth transition out of the organization. Management
reserves the right to provide a team member with two weeks’ pay in lieu of notice in situations
where job or business needs warrant such action. If a team member provides less notice than
requested, the employer may deem the individual to be ineligible for rehire depending on the
circumstances regarding the notice given. Team members who voluntarily resign are entitled to
salary or wages due and any unused accrued vacation earned during the preceding year of
employment which will be paid by regular paycheck on the next pay day.
Retirement: Team members who wish to retire are required to notify their department director
and the Human Resource department in writing at least one (1) month before the planned
retirement date. Team members who retire are entitled to salary or wages due and any unused
accrued vacation earned during the preceding year of employment which will be paid by regular
paycheck on the next pay day.
Job abandonment: Team members who fail to report to work or contact their supervisor for
three (3) consecutive workdays shall be considered to have abandoned the job without notice,
effective at the end of their normal shift on the third day. The supervisor shall notify the Human
Resource department at the expiration of the third workday and initiate the paperwork to
terminate the team member. Team members who are separated due to job abandonment are
entitled only to salary or wages due which will be paid by regular paycheck on the next pay day.
Termination: Team members who are involuntarily terminated are entitled only to salary or
wages due which will be paid by regular paycheck on the next pay day.
Reduction in Force (RIF): A necessary reduction in force may be due to reasons beyond the
control of and through no fault of the team member. The team member, after (1) one year of
satisfactory and continuous service may be entitled to final salary or wages due and pay for
unused accrued vacation. Both will be paid by regular paycheck on the next pay day. A team
member with less than one (1) year of service is entitled to salary or wages due which will be
paid by regular paycheck on the next pay day.
