# Purpose of the Handbook

Whether you have just joined our staff or have been at **Goodwind Development Corporation** for a while, we are confident that you will find our company a dynamic and rewarding place in which to work, and we look forward to a productive and successful association. We consider the employees of **Goodwind Development Corporation** to be one of its most valuable resources. This handbook has been written to serve as the guide for the employer/employee relationship.

There are several things to keep in mind about this handbook. First, it contains only general information and guidelines. It is not intended to be comprehensive or to address all the possible applications of, or exceptions to, the general policies and procedures described. For that reason, if you have any questions concerning eligibility for a particular benefit or the applicability of a policy or practice to you, you should address your specific questions to the Human Resources (HR) Department. Neither this handbook nor any other company document confers any contractual right, either express or implied, to remain in the company’s employ. Nor does it guarantee any fixed terms and conditions of your employment. Your employment is not for any specific time and may be terminated at-will with or without cause and without prior notice by **Goodwind Development Corporation**, or you may resign for any reason at any time. No supervisor or other representative of the company (except the President of **Goodwind Development Corporation**) has the authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to the above.

The procedures, practices, policies and benefits described here may be modified or discontinued by **Goodwind Development Corporation** from time to time. We will try to inform you of any changes as they occur.

Some subjects described in this handbook are covered in detail in official policy documents. Refer to these documents for specific information as the handbook only briefly summarizes these benefits. Please note that the terms of the written benefit policies are controlling and override any statements made in this or other documents.

Please take time to review the policies contained in this handbook. If you have questions, feel free to ask your supervisor or to contact the Human Resources (HR) department.
