incident and facts to the Executive Director. If an employee cannot go to his/her
Executive Director, or prefers not to, he/she can report any complaint or incident
to the Regional or Area Director, Sr. Vice President of Senior Living, Human
Resources or any officer of the Company without fear of reprisal. Management
has the responsibility of thoroughly and objectively investigating and resolving
complaints of discrimination and sexual or other harassment. Confidentiality will

HHHunt will take prompt and appropriate action against anyone in the Company
who discriminates against or harasses another employee, which may include the
suspension or discharge of the offender.
Retaliation against an employee by any person under the CompanyÊs control for
opposing such harassment, for filing a bona fide complaint of discriminatory
harassment, or for providing information in good faith regarding another
employeeÊs complaint will not be tolerated. However, an allegation or allegations
that are fraudulent or made in bad faith will also be treated as a violation of this
policy.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
Access to computers and electronic communications systems, e.g., e-mail and
voice mail, is provided so that employees may perform their work effectively

should be aware that in addition to the right which the Company retains to
randomly inspect company property, including such equipment and the
information/data contained therein, electronic communication systems may be

management and maintenance.
Management reserves the unqualified right to access all computers, e-mail, and
other electronic files at any time, with or without notice to the employee. There

subject to discovery in the event of litigation. Be aware of this possibility when
sending electronic communications within and outside the Company.

should assume that someone other than the intended recipient may review their
message.

transmitting messages via cellular phones.
