DIVERSIFIED EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Diversified expects employees to exercise reasonable judgment and perform to the best of their abilities at all times. You
will be asked to acknowledge a Code of Conduct annually. While it is not possible to list all the forms of behavior that are
considered unacceptable in the workplace, we strive to describe the general expectations for appropriate behavior.
Employees will be corrected for inappropriate workplace conduct and inadequate performance using oral and written
warnings, work plans, suspensions with or without pay, and/or termination of employment. We may, at our sole discretion,
use any one or a combination of these methods, depending on the circumstances.
The following is a nonexclusive list of the conduct that could result in immediate termination of employment:

• Theft or dishonesty
• Falsification of timekeeping records

• Violation of drug and alcohol policy
• Vandalism or destruction of any company property
• Engaging in behavior that is discourteous, insubordinate or contrary to the Diversified DNA and brand when
engaging with a customer or another employee
• Violation of safety or health rules
• Violation of our EEO or harassment policy

• Possession of dangerous or unauthorized materials, such as explosives or firearms, in the workplace
• Excessive absenteeism or any absence without notice
• Disclosure of confidential, proprietary or trade secret information to persons outside Diversified
• Violation of company policy or procedure

WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
It is Diversified’s goal to endeavor to maintain a work environment free from intimidation, threats or violent acts. To that end,
Diversified has adopted a zero-tolerance policy regarding violence in the workplace. This includes, but is not limited to,
intimidating, threatening or hostile behaviors, physical abuse, sexual assault, vandalism, arson, sabotage, use of weapons,
carrying weapons of any kind onto company property, or any other act, which, in management’s opinion, is inappropriate to
the workplace.

Employees who feel they have been subjected to any of the behaviors listed above are requested to immediately report the
incident to their supervisors or a member of the PeopleTeam. Complaints will be investigated.

Employees who observe or have knowledge of any violation of this policy should immediately report it to Diversified
management or a member of the PeopleTeam.
Diversified reserves the right to conduct searches and inspections of employees, employees’ personal effects or Diversified
provided materials such as lunch boxes, thermoses, purses, lockers, desks, personal computer files, cabinets, file drawers,
packages or vehicles without notice. Any illegal and/or unauthorized articles discovered may be taken into custody and may
be turned over to law enforcement representatives. Any company employee who refuses to submit to a search or found in
possession of prohibited articles will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
