               323 Workers' Compensation Insurance


               Effective Date: 1/1/2017

               Revision Date:
               MFC provides a workers' compensation insurance program to our employees. The workers' compensation
               program covers injuries sustained in the course of employment that require medical, surgical, or hospital
               treatment. Subject to the applicable legal requirements, this program provides benefits after a short
               waiting period or, in the event of hospitalization, immediately.

               It is critical that you inform your supervisor immediately about any work-related injury, regardless of how
               minor it might appear at the time. Immediate reporting ensures that, if eligible, you will qualify for
               workers' compensation benefits as quickly as possible and also lets us investigate the matter promptly.
               MFC requires all employees to report injuries the same day. When clocking out, you signify your shift
               was without incident.

               Workers' compensation is intended to cover only work-related injuries. Because of this, neither MFC nor
               our insurance carrier will be liable for the payment of workers' compensation benefits for injuries that
               might occur during employees' voluntary participation in off-duty recreational, social, or athletic activities
               that we may sponsor.




               324 Employee Assistance Program

               We care about employees' health and well-being and recognize that personal problems can sometimes
               disrupt personal and work lives. While many problems can be solved on your own or with the help of
               family and friends, there may be times when you need professional assistance and advice.

               Through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Mountainside provides you and your immediate
               family members with confidential access to professional counseling services for help in confronting such
               personal problems as alcohol and other substance abuse, marital or family difficulties, financial or legal
               troubles, and emotional distress. The EAP offers problem assessment, short-term counseling, and
               referrals to appropriate community and private services.

               The EAP is strictly confidential and designed to safeguard the participant's privacy and rights. The
               information you give an EAP counselor can be released only with your written consent and EAP
               counselors are guided by a Professional Code of Ethics. Personal information about EAP participation is
               maintained in a confidential manner. No information about your participation in the program is included
               in your personnel file.


               We offer the EAP as a benefit to our employees and there is no cost to consult with an EAP counselor. If
               further counseling is necessary, the EAP counselor will outline available community and private services,
               and if there are associated costs, advise if they are covered by our health insurance plan. Costs not
               covered by insurance are your responsibility.
