a portion of a military leave of absence for annual training duty or emergency services
                 not to exceed one month.

                 Paid Time Off accrues each pay period (except new employees who are not eligible to
                 accrue Paid Time Off until after a 90 day waiting period).  The length of eligible service is
                 calculated on a service year basis.  An employee’s service year PTO eligibility will not be
                 impacted if they are on military leave.

                 A copy of the orders to serve must be turned in to the employee’s supervisor.  Military
                 leaves beyond 10 days will be considered a leave of absence for Military service.

                 Notification


                 Employees called to active/training duty or to Reserve or National Guard training, or who
                 volunteer for the same, should submit copies of his/her military orders to their supervisor
                 as soon as possible so that production schedules and vacation schedules may be arranged
                 consistent with operating needs.

                 Pay During Leave

                 Employees called for annual or special Reserve or National Guard duty training during their
                 regularly scheduled work days may receive the difference between their regular pay and
                 military service pay, up to a maximum of ten (10) days per year.  To be eligible for this
                 military leave pay, an employee must be a full-time regular employee who has completed
                 three (3) months of employment, who is actively employed and on the payroll up to the
                 time he/she reports for duty, and who returns to Jones-Hamilton Co. after completion of
                 such duty.

                 Benefits During Leave and Return to Employment

                 Federal and state laws prescribe the employee benefits to which employees are entitled
                 while in military service and their rights to return to employment upon completion of
                 military service.  Because these laws change from time to time, their terms are not set out
                 here. Jones-Hamilton Co. will comply with applicable laws regarding these matters.
                 JURY/WITNESS LEAVE

                 Upon notice, summons, or subpoena to sit on a jury or serve as a witness, an employee
                 must notify his/her supervisor and provide a copy of such notice, summons, or subpoena,
                 the next working day after receipt thereof to be given time off from work to perform this
                 service.

                 Eligibility and Pay

                 Employees are eligible for paid jury duty/witness leave after completion of their 90-day
                 trial period.  For each day of jury duty or witness leave up to a maximum of 5 days, an
                 employee will receive his/her regular straight time compensation less any amount received
                 for service from the Court.   Any employee, who must take more than 5 days off work to
                 serve on a jury or as a witness, may use PTO that is otherwise available to that employee.

                 If 2 or more hours of work time remain after any day of jury selection or jury duty or
                 witness service, the employee will be expected to return to work for the remainder of
                 his/her work schedule.

                                                                 46
