Benefits

The Site Manager shall be an employee of J&A, Inc. and shall be compensated for services rendered with a salary determined by J&A, Inc. The Site Manager shall be covered under the J&A, Inc. worker's compensation plan and other benefits negotiated between the Regional Manager, Human Resources and the employee. The Site Manager shall be notified of all the benefits under the adopted plan. If the Site Manager is required to live on-site, he/she will be provided a free rental unit and is exempt from the requirements of the landlord/tenant law. It is considered a tenancy for a specified period only (e.g. employment), and will end on the same day that employment is terminated. Reasonable effort will be made to give the Site Manager sufficient time to move, but as the efficient operation of the property is predicated upon the presence of a Site Manager, the transitional period necessarily must be very short. This is a condition of employment as a Site Manager. It is expected that the Site Manager will negotiate reasonable terms with the Corporate Office and move expeditiously, even if his/her termination is involuntary. In a rare circumstance when an ex-Site manager refuses to leave and efforts to negotiate vacancy of the manager's quarters fail, the Company will be forced to consider the person a trespasser and call the police for assistance.
