Either the employee or the employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or prior notice, subject only to any applicable written agreement or collective bargaining agreement.

2. Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination: The employer prohibits discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics under applicable federal, state, and local law. The employer maintains procedures for reporting and investigating complaints and will take corrective action where appropriate.

3. Leave Rights and Accommodation Requests: Employees may be eligible for leave and reasonable accommodations under applicable law. Requests for leave or accommodation should be submitted to Human Resources or the designated workplace contact. The employer will evaluate requests in accordance with business needs and legal obligations.

5. Workplace Safety and Workers' Compensation: The employer maintains a safe workplace and provides employees with information on reporting work-related injuries and accessing workers' compensation benefits where applicable.

6. Anti-Retaliation: The employer prohibits retaliation against employees who make good-faith complaints, participate in an investigation, or exercise rights protected by law. Any retaliation should be reported immediately.
