Employee Handbook

Employment with the Company may be terminated by an employee or by the Company for any reason, with or without notice. The types of separation include reasons for Performance, Discipline, Layoff and Termination.

In all cases of voluntary resignation (one initiated by the employee); employees are asked to provide a written notice to their supervisors at least 10 working days in advance of the last day of work. The 10 days must be actual working days. Holidays and paid time off (PTO) will not be counted toward the 10-day notice. Shepherd Electric Supply requests all Managers provide a minimum of four (4) week’s notice. Employees who provide the requested amount of notice will be considered to have resigned in good standing and generally will be eligible for rehire.

In most cases, Human Resources will conduct an exit interview on or before the last day of employment to collect all company property, and to discuss final pay. All final checks will be processed on the next scheduled pay date and will include any unused Vacation time. Any salesperson who resigns will be paid commission for the last completed workday. Upon receipt of a letter of resignation, the Company reserves the right to accelerate the employee’s intended resignation date. If applicable, information regarding benefits continuation through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) will be sent to the employee’s home address.

Once an employee has provided notice of resignation, no further Vacation or Sick Time will be approved for the employee.

Should it become necessary because of business conditions to reduce the number of employees or work hours, this will be done at the discretion of the company.
