Employees must maintain the highest level of ethical standards. What
you say and how you act could be interpreted as that of the company.
Individuals and Conduct Covered
These policies apply to all applicants and employees, whether
related to conduct engaged in by fellow employees or by someone not
directly connected to the Company (e.g., an outside vendor, consultant
or customer). Conduct prohibited by these policies is unacceptable in
the workplace and in any work-related setting outside the workplace,
such as during business trips, business meetings and business-related
social events.
Employee Conduct and Work Rules
The Company adopts this Employee Conduct and Work Rules
Policy to ensure orderly operations and provide the best possible work
environment. The Company expects employees and others who may
from time to time be engaged to provide services, such as temporary
personnel, consultants and independent contractors, to follow these
rules of conduct while on company premises, attending company
functions, or otherwise performing work-related activity.
In addition to maintaining and enforcing this policy to protect the
interests and safety of all employees, the Company complies with all
applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning
employer/employee rights and obligations.
The Company is responsible for providing a safe and secure workplace
and strives to ensure that all individuals associated with the company
are treated in a respectful and fair manner. Though it is not possible to
list all forms of behavior that are considered prohibited in the
workplace, the following are examples of behavior that would be
considered infractions of the Company rules of conduct.
1. Theft or inappropriate removal or possession of property.
2. Working under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
3. Possession, distribution, sale, transfer or use of alcohol or illegal
drugs in the workplace, while on duty or while operating
employer-owned vehicles or equipment.
