MHC PS, I am out next week on vacation. Call Twanda to arrange for assistance while I am out, and she will refer you on. Agreements will be done during my absence; again, work with Twanda. Thanks.

Rather than doing any kind of agreement, I have recommended to RD that we either do a signing payment (full amount repaid if leaves within the year) or a retention payment as part of the offer letter. Are you comfortable with that? Thanks! Amy Michelle Cash 08/10/2000 03:51 AM To: Amy FitzPatrick/PDX/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: One Year Agreements Amy, we do put people under contract with a definite term; however, at the end of that term, the employee converts to an employee at will. We also hire consultants for a fixed term, but a year-long period for an individual is pretty long for a consultng position. What is the situation? Maybe we can find an alternative. Michelle Amy FitzPatrick 08/09/2000 06:12 PM To: Michelle Cash/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: One Year Agreements Michelle - Do we ever do fixed term offers? I got a question today from RD Hawkins as LasVegas Cogen asking if we could hire someone for a one year period of time. I know we can do it in the UK, just not sure about the US. Thanks! Amy
