Access to Personnel Files


                We maintain a personnel file on each employee, which may include things like the job application and
                related hiring documents, training records, performance documentation, salary history, and other
                employment records. This is necessary for payroll, tax reporting, state law, health insurance, etc.  This
                information is considered highly confidential and is treated as such.  It is very important for you to
                notify Human Resources promptly when there are changes to your personal information.

                Personnel files are the property of MTR. Because this information is highly confidential and we respect
                your privacy, only persons with a legitimate business reason will be allowed access to personnel files.  If
                you wish to see your personnel file, contact the Director of Human Resources. With reasonable advance
                notice, you may review your own personnel file in our offices.

                All requests for information about a current or terminated employee will be directed only to Human
                Resources and may be limited to release of employment dates and job titles only.  No one else at MTR is
                authorized to respond to any inquiries regarding a current or terminated employee. This includes job
                references.  All business references should go to the Director of Human Resources. Fellow coworkers of
                a person at MTR may only speak as a personal reference for an individual. They are not authorized to
                speak on behalf of MTR.


                                                    Personnel Data Changes


                It is the responsibility of each employee to promptly notify MTR of any changes in personnel data.
                The information we need is personal mailing addresses, telephone numbers, marital status, number
                and names of dependents, individuals to be contacted in the event of emergency, educational
                accomplishments, and other possibly relevant information. To make changes or if you have questions
                about what information is required contact the Director of Human Resources.
