eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally does not accept late enrollees. You
               can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.

               Others covered by your insurance also have the right to continue coverage if they are no longer
               eligible for certain reasons.  If you and your spouse divorce or legally separate, or if you pass
               away while in our employ, your spouse may continue coverage under our group health plan.  In

               addition, if your children lose their dependent status, they may continue their health care.  In
               any of these situations, your family member is entitled to up to 36 months of continued health
               care.  They must pay the monthly cost of the coverage for continuation of coverage.

               You will receive an initial notice of your right to continued health insurance coverage when you
               first enroll in one of the plans under the Company’s group plan.  You will receive an additional
               notice when your hours are reduced, you resign or you are terminated.  This second notice will
               tell you how to choose continuation coverage, what your obligations will be, and how much the
               insurance will cost.  You must notify us if any of your family members becomes eligible for

               continued coverage due to divorce, separation or reaching the age of majority.

               Employees will be so notified of any, and all options available upon notification of a qualifying
               event.

               TIME OFF WORK

               PAID LEAVE (PAID TIME OFF)


               After completing 2,000 hrs. within a 24-month period, you are eligible for paid leave based on
               the average number of weekly hours worked and average pay during this timeframe.  A
               maximum of 40 hours will be paid in any leave calculation.

               When you wish to utilize paid leave time you must submit your request in writing to your
               assigned Staffing Specialist at least two (2) weeks prior to the desired leave dates.  Leave

               approval is subject to business needs.  Paid leave is not considered a vested benefit and
               therefore accrued but unused leave time shall not be paid out upon termination of
               employment, unless required by law.  Additionally, once notice of resignation has been given,
               requests for paid leave will no longer be granted.

               PAID SICK LEAVE

               Various states and municipalities have passed legislation mandating paid sick leave programs
               for workers within their jurisdictions.  Where paid sick leave programs have been put into
               effect, most often there are different requirements for:
