1. Introduction
This Employee Guide outlines employment policies for the Lincoln Lawrence Franklin Regional Library System, hereinafter referred to as the Library. This document is provided to give a general description of work rules, benefits and personnel policies of the Library and is available on the library’s web site. This document should not be construed as an employment contract or an agreement for employment for any specified period of time. The Library reserves the right to make changes to this document as conditions require.
"Employment at Will" simply refers to the traditional relationship between employer and employee, specifying that the employment relationship may be terminated by either party unilaterally at any time. Thus, this document is not an expressed or implied contract of employment, but rather an overview of working rules and benefits.
It is impossible to anticipate every situation that may occur or every policy question that may arise. The Library reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to revise, supplement, interpret, or rescind any portion of the Employee Guide as deemed appropriate.
Employees should familiarize themselves with the contents of the Employee Guide and forward any questions regarding content to the Library’s business office.
Each employee is expected to comply with the Library Employee Guide.
Mississippi public libraries are authorized to operate by statute as established by the Mississippi Legislature in the Mississippi Code 1972 Annotated Title 39, Chapter 3.
