C O M P E N S A T I O N
All Town of Cary employees, including temporary
staff, are covered by the North Carolina Workers'
Compensation program from the date of employment. If
you're injured on the job, you must report it immediately
to your supervisor or a fellow employee if your
supervisor is not readily available. Of course, if you
have a medical emergency, you should seek immediate
help from the nearest medical facility and report the
injury/illness to your supervisor as soon as possible
thereafter.
Contractors and consultants performing work or
services on behalf of Cary are responsible for
responding to and handling all claims related to their
work. If you're injured while working on behalf of Cary,
you should notify your staff liaison immediately, and
share any potential claims related to the contract or
agreement.

If you are a temporary employee and believe that any
employment action by the Town of Cary was based
on age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion,
or disability, you may have the right to appeal that
employment action. Details on how to proceed are
outlined in subsection 2-96 of the Personnel Ordinance.
Copies are available from the Human Resources
Department and on the Town's website at carync.gov.

Use Town technology for personal use only in
accordance with the letter and spirit of the restrictions
outlined in Policy 113: Technology Appropriate Use.
■ Don't load any software to a Town-issued device
from any source without the prior approval of the
Information Technology Department.
■ While the Town neither encourages nor
discourages your personal participation in social
media, such as blogs, wikis, and other forms of
online discourse, keep in mind that to our citizens,
you are always a representative of the Town. If
you believe your work should involve social media
or you want to respond to a post officially, talk
to your supervisor, the marketing manager, and
311 manager. Also refer to our Social Media
Guidelines and Standard Procedure 142: New
Media Protocol, which are available on C-Net.
At all times when using a Town of Cary technology
resource, remember that you are representing the
Town. Use the same good judgment in all resource
use that you would use in written correspondence or in
determining appropriate conduct.
If your position requires you to use a computer, your
supervisor should have given you a copy of Policy 113:
Technology Appropriate Use. In accordance with that
policy, always remember the following:
■ Don't use Town technology resources without
receiving prior training from qualified Town staff.
■ Don't use these resources in an illegal, malicious,
inappropriate, or obscene manner, and don't visit
websites or conduct activity that is illegal, malicious,
inappropriate or obscene.
■ When sending or forwarding email, either
internally or externally, identify yourself clearly and
accurately.
■ Make sure all public information you disseminate
is accurate by providing the source and the date it
was current.
