Welcome to the Regional Media team!

As we strive each day to operate within our core values of Community, Innovation, and Excellence, it’s also important to explain our commitment to you, our employees. You are our most important asset, and your satisfaction with your job is important to our success. In order to help you do your job functions and to better understand the company’s operational strategy, we are providing you with this access to the Regional Media Employee Policies and Procedures Web Portal. Although some of the provisions in this manual are the same or similar to the company’s prior Employee Manual of Policies and Procedures, the Regional Media Employee Policies and Procedures Web Portal is different. Some policies have been improved or clarified, while others have been added or eliminated in order to address our ever-changing work environment. Therefore, the current and active policy in the portal revokes and supersedes any prior policies, handbooks, manuals or similar documents that the company may have used from time to time in the past. Although we have attempted to cover matters of general applicability to all employees, the material in this manual is not exhaustive, and we know that it does not cover every situation which may arise on a day to day basis. Because of this, the Company reserves the right to make changes at any time, with or without notice, and to interpret these policies and procedures at its discretion. This manual is intended only to provide you with basic information about the guidelines and general policies of Regional Media. It is not intended to create, nor does it create, a contract between the Regional Media or its designee and any employee. Each employee is expected to read through this entire Regional Media Employee Policies and Procedures Web Portal regularly. If you do not understand something, please ask for clarification here. Again, welcome to Regional Media!
