PAP.9.4.010 Employment At-Will

(a) Employees, with the exception of certain contracted employees, are hired for an indefinite and unspecified duration and are not guaranteed employment for any specified length of time. As such, either the Gaming Enterprises or an employee can terminate the employment relationship at-will, at any time. In addition, the Gaming Enterprises can modify, amend, supplement or delete terms and conditions of employment relationship at-will, at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. No individual or governmental body, other than the Tribal Governing Board, or its authorized designee, has the power or legal authority to alter the at-will nature of the employment relationship. Supervisory and management personnel are not to make any representations to team members or applicants concerning the terms or conditions of employment, which are not consistent with this manual.

(b) This policy may not be modified by any statements contained in this manual or any other team member handbooks, employment applications, Gaming Enterprise recruiting materials, Gaming Enterprise memoranda, or other materials provided to applicants and team members in connection with their employment. Gaming Enterprises policies and practices with respect to any matter are not to be considered as creating any contractual obligation on the Gaming Enterprises' part or as stating in any way that termination will occur only for "just cause." Statements of specific grounds for termination set forth in this manual or in any other documents are not all-inclusive lists, and are not intended to restrict the Gaming Enterprises' right to terminate at-will.

(c) Completion of a probationary period or attainment of regular status does not change a team member's status as an at-will team member or in any way restrict the Gaming Enterprises right to terminate such a team member or change the terms or conditions of employment.
