Q:

Who monitors the employee parking for vehicles that are not Allen employees and are not moved for multiple days to weeks at a time? The P7 parking lot seems to have people who live in the apartment buildings using it as their overflow parking.

A:

Many are cars that belong to the credit union which are waiting to be sold. Also, we are starting to have an influx of fellow team members who work at multiple affiliates. When they do they will leave their vehicles here when they get a rental. If you have concern with a particular vehicle, please contact Security. We will run the VIN number to find out where the vehicle belongs. If the vehicle does not belong to the credit union or a UnityPoint Health team member, we will contact the Waterloo Police Department to have them make contact with the owner. If the owner then refuses to move the vehicle we will look into having it towed at the owner’s expense. Steve Cusher, Safety & Security

Q:

I see a lot of tight leggings with shorter shirts being worn. Do these meet dress code?

A:

Dress and skirt hems have to be no more than 2 inches above the knee. Anything shorter would not meet the policy guidelines. Steve Sesterhenn, HR
