Employees will be relieved of all work-related duties during any unpaid break. Where unpaid breaks or additional
time are required, employees should work with their supervisor regarding scheduling and reporting the extra break
time.

Where state law imposes more specific requirements regarding the break time or lactation accommodation, the
Company will comply with those requirements.

Because exempt employees receive their full salary during weeks in which they work, all exempt employees who
need lactation accommodation breaks do not need to report any extra break time as “unpaid.”
The Company will provide employees with the use of a room or a private area, other than a bathroom or toilet stall,
that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public.
The Company will make a reasonable effort to identify a location within close proximity to the work area for the
employee to express milk. This location may be the employee’s private office, if applicable.
The Company will otherwise treat lactation as a pregnancy-related medical condition and address lactation-related
needs in the same manner that it addresses other non-incapacitating medical conditions, including requested time
off for medical appointments, requested changes in schedules and other requested accommodations. Employees
should discuss with Management the location for storage of expressed milk.

PAYDAY AND PAYCHECK INFORMATION

Our employees are paid according to regularly scheduled paydays. If a payday falls on a holiday, employees are
paid the preceding business day. The Annual payday calendar can be obtained from the Company’s Finance
Department.

Unless approved by management, all Footprint employees will be paid through direct deposit (ACH Credit). Initial
set-up and any changes to direct deposit accounts will require a hard copy bank instrument (voided check, deposit
slip, letter from bank, etc.) to ensure accuracy. Paychecks or paystubs are not available in advance of payday unless
required by state law.

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

Footprint is required by law to make certain mandatory deductions from every employee’s gross wages: federal
income tax, contributions to Social Security and Medicare, and applicable city and state taxes.

Every employee must fill out and sign a federal withholding allowance certificate, IRS Form W-4, on or before his or
her first day on the job. Employees are expected to comply with the instructions on Form W-4. Questions regarding
the propriety of claimed deductions may be referred to the IRS in certain circumstances. The employee may fill out
a new W-4 at any time.

Any other mandatory deductions to be deducted from employee paychecks, such as court- ordered attachments and
garnishments, will be done whenever the Company is ordered to make such deductions and upon written notice to
the employee.

Additionally, you may authorize in writing other optional deductions to pay for certain benefits, which will be deducted
from each payroll check. Other voluntary contributions are also deducted each pay period. Every employee will
receive an annual Wage and Tax Statement, IRS Form W-2, for the preceding year on or before January 31.

The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that employees receive the correct amount of pay in each
paycheck and that employees are paid promptly on the scheduled payday. In the unlikely event that there is an error
in the amount of pay, the employee must promptly report the discrepancy so that the corrections can be made as
quickly as possible, including a deduction from the employee’s paycheck.
