MEAL AND REST PERIODS
Meal and rest periods will be provided for you according to the applicable state regulations. Supervisors will review these
and establish schedules. Non-exempt employees are not permitted to work through a meal period unless approval from a
supervisor is obtained before the scheduled meal break. In these situations, the meal period will be paid time.
TOBACCO AND VAPE FREE WORK ENVIRONMENT
The Diversified offices are nonsmoking facilities. The use of tobacco products and vaping is not permitted inside the building
under any circumstances. Use of these products is permitted outside the building, in designated areas only. This policy
applies equally to employees, customers and visitors.
FRAGRANCE SENSITIVITY
Diversified strives to maintain a workplace environment that is conducive to efficiency and productivity and free from
unnecessary distractions and annoyances. As part of that effort, the company generally requires employees to maintain a
neat and clean appearance that is appropriate for the workplace setting and for the work being performed. Recognizing that
employees and visitors to our offices may have sensitivity or allergic reactions to various fragrant products, Diversified is a
fragrance-free workplace.
To ensure that Diversified is a fragrance-free workplace, employees are prohibited from bringing onto the premises natural
or artificial scents that could be distracting or annoying to others. Scented personal products (such as fragrances, colognes,
lotions and powders) that are perceptible to others should not be worn by employees. Other scented products (candles,
potpourri and similar items) are also not permitted in the workplace.
Employees required by medical necessity to use medicinal lotions or skin creams that contain odors perceptible to others
may request a reasonable accommodation from their supervisor, manager or the PeopleTeam. Any employee with a
concern about scents or odors should contact their manager or the PeopleTeam.
EMERGENCY CLOSING/INCLEMENT WEATHER
Diversified offices will not close during inclement weather. When inclement weather is forecast, you should plan accordingly
and anticipate longer commute times and bring your laptop home in anticipation of poor weather. If you are unable to attend
work and are unable to work effectively from home due to inclement weather, you should notify your immediate supervisor
or department manager as soon as possible. You may use PTO for the time.
If operations are officially closed due to extreme emergency conditions, the time off from scheduled work will be paid.
Employees in essential operations may be asked to work on a day when operations are officially closed. Employees who
can work from home or another remote location will be required to do so or use PTO.
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Family & Medical Leave (FML)
Diversified provides unpaid, job-protected leaves of absence to eligible employees under the federal and state Family
Medical Leave laws. As leave laws differ from state to state, please check with the PeopleTeam for information on eligibility
and benefits in your state. Both Diversified and employees who wish to take leave have specific rights and obligations under
the laws.
