MCD Employee FAQs

 

This document is in response to questions received since the last FAQ document was published. Questions that have the same general answer have been combined. Please keep in mind that until closing, we are under a number of constraints and cannot speculate on answers to some questions. Also note that any questions answered in previous MCD Employee FAQs are not repeated here.

After this week’s questions, look for a series of updates focused on integration topics on which we can provide specific information. Please continue to send in your questions, as we will publish future FAQs as we are able.

Benefits

 

A number of specific questions were asked about benefits, including long and short term disability, HR contacts, vacation time buy-back, severance policies and educational assistance. Several of the questions asked about the timing of the closing in relation to the upcoming open enrollment period.

The HR Integration Team is aware of the timing issues involved and plans to address them and provide information at the appropriate time. The team is currently working on creating the benefits plan for the new company. We have retained Towers-Perrin as the consultant on plan design and, in the U.S., are currently collecting RFP responses from health care providers. We have a timeline of plan development milestones that we are adhering to and will communicate benefits information as soon as possible.

Leadership and Organization

 

What are the roles, responsibilities and reporting teams of CEO Guy Campbell and COO Tom Waechter?

The CEO oversees all corporate functions and directs the organization to ensure the attainment of revenue and profit goals and maximum return on invested capital. The CEO oversees finance, legal, HR, investor relations and corporate communications, engineering, product line management and technology functions.

The COO directs the organization to ensure the attainment of revenue and profit goals, and participates with the CEO in formulating current and long-range plans, objectives and policies. The COO oversees sales, services, operations, supply chain, product marketing, and quality and customer satisfaction.

Product Line

 

Currently, for units we produce, we use certain numbers assigned by standard organizations such as the IEEE (Ethernet MAC addresses), IANA (Harris ethertypes and enterprise numbers) and Telcordia (CLEI codes). Do we need to keep these numbers for existing and future product lines?

The present intent is to keep the numbers for our existing product lines. This will be confirmed when the integration team completes their analysis. That analysis will also address future needs.
