DIVERSIFIED EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK




        One day of bereavement leave may be considered for spouse/domestic partner’s first removed aunt, uncle or
        cousin.

        *Domestic partners are defined as same-sex and opposite-sex couples who have registered with any state or local government domestic
        partnership registry.



        Jury Duty
        Diversified  encourages  employees  to  fulfill  their  civic  responsibilities  by  serving  jury  duty  when  required.
        Employees in an eligible classification may request up to two (2) weeks of paid jury duty.

        Jury duty pay will be calculated on the employee's base pay rate times the number of hours the employee would
        otherwise have worked on the day of absence.

        If employees are required to serve jury duty beyond the period of paid jury duty leave, they may use any available
        PTO or may request an unpaid jury duty leave of absence.

        Employees must show the jury duty summons to their supervisor as soon as possible so that the supervisor may
        make arrangements to accommodate their absence. Employees are expected to report for work whenever the
        court schedule permits.

        Benefits Continuation (COBRA)
        The  federal  Consolidated  Omnibus  Budget  Reconciliation  Act  (COBRA)  gives  employees  and  their  qualified
        beneficiaries  the  opportunity  to  continue  health  insurance  coverage  under  Diversified's  health  plan  when  a
        "qualifying event" would normally result in the loss of eligibility. Some common qualifying events are resignation,
        termination of employment or death of an employee; a reduction in an employee's hours or a leave of absence;
        an employee's divorce or legal separation; or a dependent child no longer meeting eligibility requirements. Under
        COBRA, the employee or beneficiary pays the full cost of coverage at Diversified's group rates.

        Diversified provides each eligible employee with a written notice describing rights granted under COBRA. The
        notice also contains important information about the employee's rights and obligations. COBRA services are
        administered for Diversified by MetLife.
