MEMORANDUM To: All Staff, Novus Tech
From: Executive Board
Date: September 1
Re: Acquisition Announcement

We are pleased to announce that Novus Tech has officially been acquired by Global Systems Inc. This partnership will provide us with greater resources to innovate.

Regarding operations, most departments will function as usual. However, we will be transitioning to Global Systems' HR policies effective October 1. One key change involves the 'Remote Work Allowance.' Under the new policy, employees are eligible for a monthly stipend only if they work remotely more than 60% of the time. The previous Novus policy, which granted the allowance to anyone working remotely at least one day a week, is hereby null and void.

Subject: Clarification on Stipend

Dear HR Team,

I read the recent memo regarding the acquisition. I currently work from my home office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I come into the corporate headquarters on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Could you please clarify if my status regarding the monthly financial support will change next month? I rely on those funds to cover my high-speed internet costs.

Thank you,
Linda Kovic

Internal Note: HR Response Draft Case: #882 - L. Kovic

Review of employee schedule shows a 2-day remote / 3-day onsite split.

Calculation: 2 days remote out of 5 days = 40%.

Determination: Employee falls below the threshold set by Global Systems. Draft a response explaining she no longer qualifies for the benefit but remind her that internet costs can still be claimed as a business expense if she submits receipts.
