Over Memorial Day several of the folks were HR types and none of this would occur to them. That's NOT a criticism because they are so constrained by the regulatory environment that rule writing is how they protect the companies from lawsuits. I once had to spend six months firing a six-sigma performer (-6sig that is)jumping thru procedural hoops. Six months after that 1/2 that division was gone and a year later the whole was shut down.
