When asked they both indicated that there have been no kitchen staff who have been fired or quit within the recent past (2-6 months). The new employees present were new employees in new positions. The GM indicated that employee health is reviewed at every "all hands" meeting (about 1x month) and the employee health policy was posted. The GM was able to describe the key points of the policy from memory. EHS provided FDA form 1-B in English and Spanish as an additional tool.
