NRI Policies For Our Temporary Employees
Worker's Compensation Issues
If injured on the job, immediately contact your NRI office. If you require medical treatment, we will give you a toll free number to call to obtain a list of physicians that are registered to handle on-the-job injuries. In Virginia, you must use on of the physicians on the "work-related injury physician's panel". For Maryland and DC, we recommend that you use the physician panel to help expedite treatment and payment for all injury related medical bills.
If the injury is sufficiently serious to require Emergency Room treatment, do so, but be sure to notify the Emergency Room personnel that your injury is "a work-related injury". For Virginia claims, all follow up care must be made with one of the physicians on the "work-related injury physician's panel".
Discrimination
It is the policy of NRI to forbid all forms of discrimination based upon race, color, creed, religion, marital status, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, income level, personal appearance, physical handicap, family responsibilities, matriculation or political affiliation. This policy provides for disciplinary action against violators of this policy. It is the responsibility of all employees of NRI to report any suspected discrimination violations to the President and/or Executive Vice President of the company immediately.
Sexual Harassment
It is NRI's policy that all employment relationships shall be conducted in an environment that is not hostile or offensive. Sexual harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as name calling, obscene jokes, sexually suggestive comments, or other such behavior that is considered offensive. NRI will not tolerate such behavior. If you believe that you have been subject to harassment by any person in connection with your employment at NRI, you should immediately bring the matter to the attention of your immediate supervisor or any member of management at NRI with whom you feel most comfortable. All complaints of harassment will be investigated promptly and, where necessary, corrective action will be taken. Any investigation will be treated as confidentially as possible. Any supervisor, agent or other employee who is found to have engaged in harassment will be subject to appropriate discipline, up to and including discharge. There will be absolutely NO RETALIATION against any employee who complains of sexual harassment or against any witness. Retaliation will be dealt with just as forcefully and in the same manner as sexual harassment itself.
Drug Testing
Certain client companies require that temporaries assigned to work for them have passed a urinalysis or other appropriate clinical test(s) designed to identify the use of drugs. We may ask you to submit to such a test for these clients. You are not required to submit to the test, but if you do not do so, you will not be eligible for assignment to the client companies who require such a test. Your decision not to submit to the test will not otherwise affect your status with NRI. If you agree to submit to such testing, however, and the results are positive, your employment with NRI will be immediately terminated.
