MMI Team Member Handbook 07.2017

their need for continuing the leave of absence. Leaves of absence in excess of six (6) months cannot be
granted without approval from the Vice President of Operations or District Manager.
Jury Duty
Each team member is encouraged, when called, to perform as a juror or to testify in criminal or civil
actions. Upon receipt of notification from the state or federal courts of an obligation to serve on a jury,
team members must notify their supervisor and provide him/her with a copy of the jury summons.
Because the team member will be paid by the court for service, an excused absence without pay will be
authorized by the facility. If the pay received from the court does not equal the team member’s regular
pay for the same number of hours, the facility will make up the difference. Each facility is responsible to
determine the number of hours involved and the rate of pay in order to comply with this policy.
Voting Leave
All team members should be able to vote either before or after regularly assigned work hours. However,
when this is not possible due to work schedules, team members will receive time off during the work
day to vote. Time off for voting should be reported and coded appropriately on timekeeping records.
Military Leave of Absence
MMI is committed to protecting the job rights of team members absent on military leave. In accordance
with federal and state law, it is the company’s policy that no team member or prospective team
member will be subjected to any form of discrimination on the basis of that person's membership in or
obligation to perform service for any of the Uniformed Services of the United States. Specifically, no
person will be denied employment, reemployment, promotion or other benefit of employment on the
basis of such membership. Furthermore, no person will be subjected to retaliation or adverse
employment action because such person has exercised his or her rights under applicable law or
company policy. If any team member believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination in
violation of company policy, the team member should immediately contact Human Resources.
Team members taking part in a variety of military duties are eligible for benefits under this policy. Such
military duties include leaves of absence taken by members of the uniformed services, including
Reservists and National Guard members, for training, periods of active military service and funeral
honors duty, as well as time spent being examined to determine fitness to perform such service. Subject
to certain exceptions under the applicable laws, these benefits are generally limited to five years of
leave of absence.
Team members requesting leave for military duty should contact Human Resources to request leave as
soon as they are aware of the need for leave. For request forms and detailed information on eligibility,
team member rights while on leave and job restoration upon completion of leave, refer to the policies,
procedures and forms on InfoLink or contact Human Resources.
