DIVERSIFIED EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK




        Employment Categories

        It  is  the  intent  of  Diversified  to  clarify  the  definitions  of  employment  classifications  so  that  all  employees
        understand their employment status and benefits eligibility.

        Each employee’s position is designated as either nonexempt or exempt from federal and state wage and hour
        laws. Nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime pay under the specific provisions of federal and state wage
        and hour laws. Exempt employees are excluded from such provisions and are therefore not eligible to receive
        overtime pay. An employee's nonexempt or exempt classification may be changed only upon written notification
        by Diversified management.

        In  addition  to  the  above  categories,  each  employee will  belong  to one  of  the  following other employment
        categories:

            •  Regular employees are those full-time employees who are not in a temporary status and who are
               regularly scheduled to work 40 or more hours per week. They are eligible for Diversified's benefit
               package, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of each benefit program.
            •  Part-time employees are those employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly
               scheduled to work less than 40 hours per week. While they do receive all legally mandated benefits
               (such as Social Security and workers' compensation insurance), they may be eligible for selected other
               benefit programs, unless they are regularly scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week.

            •  Temporary employees are those who are hired as interim replacements, to temporarily supplement the
               work force, or to assist in the completion of a specific project. Employment assignments in this category
               are of a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a
               change in employment status. Temporary employees retain that status unless and until notified of a
               change. While temporary employees receive all legally mandated benefits (such as Social Security and
               workers' compensation insurance), they are ineligible for all of Diversified's other benefit programs
               when working less than 1,000 hours annually.



        Access to Personnel Files
        Diversified maintains a personnel file on each employee. The personnel file may include such information as the
        employee's job application, resume, records of training, documentation of performance appraisals and salary
        increases, and other employment records.

        Personnel files are the property of Diversified, and access to the information therein is restricted. Generally, only
        supervisors and management personnel of Diversified who have a legitimate reason to review information in a
        file can do so.

        Those who wish to review their own personnel file should submit a written request to the PeopleTeam via the
        online help function (HR Request) of the OneStop site. Requests will be reviewed and addressed on a case by
        case basis.
