You and your dependents (as defined by plan documents) will be eligible to participate in the company’s Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Account and Life Insurance plans. All benefits are per the plan documents. Your participation (if you elect) in these benefits will be effective December 1, 2018, provided you enroll on the Benefits Portal. You will also be eligible for the Short Term and Long Term Disability Plans. This benefit, if elected, will be effective March 1, 2019. Your share of the cost for the benefits you elect will be deducted from your monthly paycheck.

Commencing with your employment, you will be eligible for three weeks of vacation each year. At the end of your tenth year of employment, you will then be eligible for four weeks of vacation. In the event of your termination, payment for unused vacation will be based on the Company’s vacation policy in effect at that time. Beginning in 2019, you will be eligible for two (2) floating days.

You will be reimbursed for all business expenses incurred in accordance with Company policy including mileage reimbursable for use of your personal vehicle on company business.

It is expected you will relocate to the Syracuse, New York area for this position. In the interim, Carrols will be responsible for costs associated with your commute back and forth to North Carolina. This includes airfare, food, lodging and vehicle expenses as necessary. Carrols will also be responsible for “house hunting” trips for your spouse.

At your request, Carrols will provide you with a monthly housing allowance of $1,500 per month from November 2018 – May 2019. It is expected that you will make your own arrangements for the housing. It is also expected that you will have your family moved here soon after the school year ends in 2019.

Carrols will pay reasonable closing costs including real estate commission on the sale of your primary residence in North Carolina. Carrols will also pay reasonable closing costs on the purchase of your new home in the Syracuse, New York area other than costs traditionally known as “points” or “buy-down fees.” Carrols will also pay to have you professionally moved from North Carolina to the Syracuse, New York area. This will include packing and unpacking. You will be expected to use a mover of the Company’s choice. I will coordinate this for you when you are ready. Due to tax implications from the move, Carrols will provide you the necessary “gross up” to cover the tax liability.

In the event your North Carolina home is sold prior to purchasing a home in the Syracuse, New York area, Carrols will provide storage for your belongings. In the event your primary residence in North Carolina is not sold prior to purchasing/renting a home in the Syracuse, New York area, Carrols will pay the lower of the two mortgage/rent payments (including taxes and insurance).

It is expected you will provide me with copies of the real estate companies’ agreements along with the contact information for your North Carolina home. Any purchase offers on your North Carolina home are to be submitted to me.

If you have any questions, feel free to call me. Welcome to the Team!

Sincerely,
