1 Employee Handbook S U N R I S E C O M P A N Y H A N DB O O K I N T R O D U C T I O N This Handbook is intended to provide employees with a general understanding of some of the Company 's personnel policies. It is not an employment contract or a legal document. The information in this Handbook should be helpful in familiarizing employees with the Company . While Sunrise Company certainly hopes that every Employee will find the employment relationship satisfying, at the same time, it recognizes that relationships are not always mutually satisfactory. To protect both parties rights, it should be remembered that the employment relationship may be terminated on an at-will basis by either you or Sunrise Company .
2 This means that you may quit at any time and Sunrise Company may terminate your employment at any time, for any reason, or for no reason. Moreover, no one other than the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise Company has the right to modify the at-will nature of this employment relationship, and any such modification must be in writing and signed by one of these two designated individuals and the affected Employee . If you are an Employee who is otherwise covered by the Handbook and you have entered into a written employment agreement signed by you and a designated officer of the Company , the guidelines, procedures and benefits discussed in this Handbook are not applicable to the extent they are inconsistent with your written employment agreement. However, if the written agreement does not address conditions or terms set forth in the Handbook , the Handbook shall apply.
