6 Saint Francis Health System Statement on Employee Relations

Saint Francis Health System (SFHS) believes that its employees are one of its greatest resources and are integral to the mission “to extend the presence and healing ministry of Christ in all we do.”

Faithful to the values of excellence, dignity, justice, integrity and stewardship, SFHS is committed to treating employees respectfully and with dignity. The system demonstrates its commitment to employees by providing good working conditions, competitive wages and benefits and provides opportunities for employees to share their ideas, talents and experiences. This in turn aids the in its goal of continuously enhancing patient care at all of its facilities. The health system endeavors to provide work environments that enable employees to take pride in their work and to bring meaning to their lives through what they do.

Saint Francis Health System is dedicated to providing employees good working conditions, competitive wages and benefits, and above all, treating employees fairly with dignity and respect. A cooperative and supportive work environment is best achieved by maintaining an open and direct working relationship with employees. Saint Francis Health System does not believe employees would benefit from outside representation.

Consistent with teaching and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, SFHS recognizes employees’ right to choose whether or not to be represented from the outside. Without the threat of retaliation by anyone or any party, SFHS employees have the right to support or oppose representation and to share their views with employees in a manner consistent with the policies.

Saint Francis Health System employees have the right to information prior to deciding whether they desire to relinquish their individual voice to an outside organization. As an employer, Saint Francis Health System has the right under federal labor law - as well as a responsibility - to provide information to its employees regarding representation by a labor organization.

Saint Francis Health System affirms its commitment to its employees and will continue to recognize the value its employees bring to the strength of each of its entities and to the health system as a whole.

7 LEGAL ISSUES AFFECTING YOUR EMPLOYMENT

EOE/AA As an Equal Opportunity Employer with Affirmative Action, SFHS does not discriminate because of sex, race, creed, national origin, age, marital status, physical or mental disability, military status, religion or genetic information in any aspect of employment. All decisions affecting employment, including hiring decisions, are made with this policy in mind. Refer to Saint Francis Health System Employment-General Policies, SFHS.PPM.06.00.00.00. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT SFHS seeks to establish and maintain a workforce and free from harassment, discriminatory practices and other unprofessional behavior.

SFHS expects all employees and staff personnel to abide by all federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination. SFHS will take appropriate steps to ensure that its work environment remains free of discrimination and that all employees and staff personnel behave in a professional manner. All employees and staff personnel are expected to treat each other with courtesy, respect and professionalism.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT It is the policy of SFHS to provide equal opportunity in employment to all persons without regard to any such persons' actual or perceived disability, or impairment. Every employee must assist management in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA) so that SFHS can provide the greatest possible access to all aspects of our services by patients, applicants and employees. It is SFHS's policy to comply with all employment provisions of the ADA. Additionally, it is our policy to reasonably accommodate the known limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability, perceived disability, or impairment, if SFHS can do so without creating an undue hardship for SFHS or its employees. This policy applies to all aspects of employment. Refer to Saint Francis Health System Employment-General Policies, SFHS.PPM.06.00.00.00.

CORPORATE COMPLIANCE SFHS has appointed a Corporate Compliance Officer to support our mission of providing quality healthcare services with integrity and performing all activities in a lawful and ethical manner. All employees are expected to uphold SFHS’s standards and conduct all activities in a lawful and ethical manner. Employees who suspect a violation of any law, regulation or standard must report this to their Supervisor/Manager, Employee 8 Relations, the Corporate Compliance Hotline, or directly to the Corporate Compliance Officer. SFHS prohibits retaliation against employees who report a suspected violation of any law, regulation or standard in good faith. Any retaliatory conduct must also be reported. EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION New represent new challenges, surroundings, associations and responsibilities.

If questions are not answered at that time, employees may ask their Supervisor/Manager or the Human Resources Department. Employees are required to attend New Employee Orientation during their first 30 days of employment. Refer to Saint Francis Health System New Employee Orientation Policy, SFHS.PPM.06.05.00.00.

Employees must report any injury sustained while on the job to their Supervisor/Manager immediately and complete an Employee Injury/Illness Form. Forms are available in each department or by contacting the Supervisor/Manager, Risk Management or Employee Health Services. Failure to report a work-related injury may disqualify an employee from receiving benefits that they would otherwise be entitled to. Refer to Saint Francis Health System Reporting Occupational Injuries/Illnesses Policy, SFHS.PPM.16.05.10.00. FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE In accordance with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), employees who have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months and have been employed by SFHS for at least one (1) year, are eligible for up to a maximum of 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for:  serious health condition of the employee  the birth, adoption or foster care of a child  serious health condition of a parent, spouse or child  qualifying exigencies  caring for a covered servicemember An eligible employee may take up to 26 weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin who is a covered military “service member” with a serious injury or illness, as defined by the FMLA and the SFHS Family and Medical Leave Policy.

An employee requesting a Medical LOA must have a written statement from a physician stating the medical condition and the approximate return- to-work date. Unlike employees on FMLA, employees on a Medical LOA are not guaranteed a position upon employee's return to work. Once the employee has cleared Employee Health, if their job has been double-filled, it is the employee’s responsibility to contact Human Resources to apply or seek employment for positions in which they are qualified. An employee on a Medical LOA will not be permitted to return to work without a written release from his/her treating physician.

EXTENDED SICK LEAVE Regular full-time employees are eligible to accrue and use Extended Sick Leave (ESL) benefits to help provide protection from loss of income due to extended periods of illness or injury. ESL benefits are accrued from the date of employment or eligibility. Calculation is based upon the number of hours paid in each pay week up to a maximum of 40 hours paid per week. Hours paid include worked hours and benefit hours. ESL accrues at 0.02692 hours per paid hour with a maximum annual accrual of 56 hours per year. ESL hours less than 1040 hours will be carried over to the next calendar year. ESL hours are paid during periods of personal illness or injury lasting more than 24 hours of scheduled work time. The employee must use PTO for the first 24 consecutive hours if available, except in the case of hospitalization, outpatient surgery or recurring serious illness. The first 24 hours will be without pay if PTO is not available. Each calendar year, employees may opt to transfer up to 24 hours of accrued PTO to ESL. ESL hours are paid at the employee’s base rate of pay according to the employee’s regularly scheduled workday but not to exceed 40 hours per pay week. In the event that an employee transfers to a part-time or ECB position, accrual will cease and the ESL balance will be frozen for one year. ESL will be re-instated if employee becomes full-time within one year from status change. Upon termination of employment, ESL hours are forfeited. Refer to Saint Francis Health System Extended Sick Leave (ESL) Policy, SFHS.PPM.16.09.01.00.

Refer to Saint Francis Health System Professional Conduct and Harassment Prohibition Policy, SFHS.PPM.04.03.00.00.

PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE SFHS supports the use of a progressive discipline process to address an employee whose or conduct does not meet the Health System’s expectation and standards of the job.

When circumstances warrant, SFHS management may decide in its sole discretion, that some or all of the steps in the process should not be followed and that immediate corrective action, up to and including discharge of employment, should be taken. Since SFHS is an at-will employer, these Standards of Conduct are merely guidelines and do not create a contract. The SFHS employee still may be discharged, or quit, without notice or cause. Refer to Saint Francis Health System Progressive Discipline Process Policy, SFHS.PPM.14.00.00.00.

CONDUCT, PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND PHONE USE Willingness to listen, show concern, and reflect attitudes of kindness and consideration are important employee qualities.
