This is a guideline to familiarize everyone with some of the basic policies of the County. None of the policies are fixed terms of employment, and Pasco County reserves the right to modify any such policies or to make exceptions to them, at any time, without notice. Pasco County makes a substantial investment in its employees and appreciates how valuable each individual is to the team. The County will make every effort to work with members of the team in an attempt to apply its policies fairly and to resolve job performance or other problems. It, therefore, hopes that discharges from employment will rarely, if ever, prove necessary. By holding members of management accountable for fairness to others, Pasco County feels that its goal of being a good and fair place to work for everyone will be achieved. These rules are not intended to, and do not create a contract of employment, nor does any policy statement herein or otherwise constitute a guarantee of future employment.
