About this Handbook

Venable believes in promoting an atmosphere of open communication and cooperation among all of our staff. The information contained in this Handbook and in our Benefits Handbook is intended to provide you with general information about Venable’s policies and benefits under which we operate. No employee Handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about policy, and Venable reserves the right to interpret any provision in this Handbook as it applies to particular circumstances. Employees are encouraged to review this Handbook and the Benefits Handbook carefully and seek additional guidance from their supervisor or Human Resources as necessary. Benefit policies are described in the Benefits Handbook link. Additionally, some of the subjects described here are covered in detail in linked policy documents. All policies in this handbook are subject to applicable laws, and no provision is intended to conflict with an applicable law. If there is a discrepancy between the handbook and policy, the policy would prevail. Except for the Mandatory Arbitration Provision set forth below, Venable reserves the right to revise, interpret, supplement, or rescind any benefit programs, policies, work rules or portions of the Handbook and Benefits Handbook, consistent with any applicable law, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice.
