conviction does not automatically bar an applicant from employment.
Additional checks such as a driving record or credit report may be made on applicants for particular job
categories if appropriate and job related.
MMI also reserves the right to conduct a background check for current team members to determine
eligibility for promotion or reassignment in the same manner as described above.
Testing
Testing validated under Federal guidelines may be implemented for specific positions at the discretion
of the Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President of Operations, or District Manager. Such testing
will be considered with other qualifications in an employment decision.
Internal Promotions & Transfers
MMI believes that promoting from within, whenever and wherever possible, to be the most effective
means of recognizing and benefiting from team member talent.
MMI offers team members promotions to higher‐level positions when appropriate. Management
prefers to promote from within and may first consider current team members with the necessary
qualifications and skills to fill vacancies above the entry level, unless outside recruitment is considered
to be in the company’s best interest.
A transfer is defined as the movement of a team member from one facility to another. Transfer, under
the provisions of this definition, must be authorized, approved, directed, and coordinated by the
General Manager or District Manager. Management may use its discretion to determine if a transfer is
in the best interest of the team member and/or the Company.
Nepotism, Employment of Relatives and Personal Relationships
MMI wants to ensure that corporate practices do not create situations such as conflict of interest or
favoritism. This extends to practices that involve team member hiring, promotion and transfer. Close
relatives, partners, those in a dating relationship or members of the same household are not permitted
to be in positions that have a reporting responsibility to each other without approval from the Chief
Executive Officer, President, or Board of Directors. Close relatives are defined as husband, wife,
domestic partner, father, mother, father‐in‐law, mother‐in law, grandfather, grandmother, son, son‐inlaw,
daughter, daughter‐in law, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother, sister, brother‐in‐law, sister‐in‐law,
step relatives, cousins and domestic partner relatives.
Married couples or couples living in a spousal relationship cannot be employed at the same location
without approval from the Chief Executive Officer, President, or Board of Directors. All team members
must be sensitive to the hazards of entering into personal relationships with fellow team members.
Function and effectiveness of team members, supervisors and managers, cannot be compromised or
potentially compromised through such association. Further, any other relationship between team
members that results in a negative effect on job performance will be cause for corrective action.
