Introductory Period

INTRODUCTORY PERIOD

The introductory period is intended to give new employees the opportunity to demonstrate
their ability to achieve a satisfactory level of performance and to determine whether the new
position meets their expectations. TOPP KIDS uses this period to evaluate employee
capabilities, work habits, and overall performance. Either the employee or TOPP KIDS may
end the employment relationship at will and at any time during or after the introductory
period with just cause to be documented and explained in a written notice to be signed by
both parties.

All new and rehired employees work on an introductory basis for the first ninety (90) calendar
days after their date of hire. Any significant absence will automatically extend an
introductory period by the length of the absence.

Upon satisfactory completion of the introductory period, employees enter the established
employment classification for their position.
