Performance Evaluation
Supervisors and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an
informal, day-to-day basis. Additional formal performance evaluations are conducted to

provide both supervisors and employees the opportunity to discuss job tasks, identify and
correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths, and discuss positive, purposeful
approaches for meeting goals. At a minimum, the supervisor will have personal conversations
called, “check-ins” with each employee quarterly, reviewing the job profile and documenting
the results of that meeting.

An annual formal face-to-face performance review will occur during the last half of the second
quarter of each year. At the time of the performance review, the supervisor and employee will
review the objectives and the results achieved. Throughout the year, the employee and
employer may refer to this document to track progress made toward objectives, highlight areas
of concern and indicate challenges identified along the way.

If appropriate, the job profile may be adjusted quarterly in consultation with the employee,

supervisor, Human Resources and the Executive Team. The Executive Team has final authority
to approve all job profiles.

Compensation

Compensation adjustments are given by the Company at its discretion in consideration of
various factors, including your responsibilities, performance, market challenges and available
budget funds. The Company is committed to paying its employees equitable wages that reflect
the requirements and responsibilities of their positions and are comparable to the pay received
by similarly situated employees in other organizations in the area. The Company periodically
reviews its salary administration program and refreshes it as necessary. Employees should bring
their pay-related questions to a member of the Executive Team. The decision to grant or
provide a raise to any and all employees will be determined solely by a member of the

Executive Team.

Appearance and Dress
We ask all employees to use common sense when they dress for work. Please dress

all times. If you have questions about proper attire for your position, contact your supervisor.
