AJK retains the right in its sole discretion to designate positions that are appropriate for telecommuting and approve employees for telecommuting. Telecommuting does not change the conditions of employment or required compliance with all AJK policies and procedures. AJK reserves the right to change or terminate the Telecommuting Agreement at any time, without cause or advance notice. An employee’s ability to work under a Telecommuting Agreement rests in the sole discretion of AJK. Telecommuting is a privilege and may not be appropriate for all employees. If you wish to request a Telecommuting Agreement, contact your supervisor. Unless otherwise agreed in the Telecommuting Agreement, hours and days of work will not change. Employees agree to apply themselves during work hours. Nonexempt employees agree not to work outside of scheduled hours without advance approval; this includes such activities as checking and responding to emails. Any work outside of a scheduled shift must be reported to a supervisor. Telecommuting is not intended as a substitute for childcare or care for another adult. If a child or adult needs care during work time, another responsible individual is expected to be present. EMPLOYEE REFERENCES All requests for references must be directed to the HR manager. No other manager, supervisor, or employee is authorized to release references for current or former employees. By policy, AJK discloses only the dates of employment and the title of the last position held of former employees. If you authorize the disclosure in writing, AJK also will inform prospective employers of the amount of salary or wage you last earned. NO SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS Customer lists of AJK are not publicly known, are considered a trade secret, and are solely the property of the AJK. Former employees of AJK are forbidden from directly or indirectly soliciting business as to products or services competitive with those of AJK based on information from customer lists obtained while an employee of AJK. BENEFITS AND TIME OFF HEALTHCARE AND INCOME PROTECTION BENEFITS AJK provides comprehensive healthcare and income protection benefits for eligible employees and their dependents. Benefit eligibility may be dependent upon your employee classification (full-time versus part-time, for example) and on length of continuous employment at AJK. Benefit eligibility requirements may also be imposed by the plans themselves. Upon becoming eligible for certain insurance plans, you will receive Summary Plan Descriptions which describe the benefits in greater detail.
