Employment of Relatives and Domestic Partners
Relatives and domestic partners may be hired by the Company if (1) the persons concerned will
not work in a direct supervisory relationship, (2) will not work in the same functional organization
and/or team and (3) the employment will not pose conflicts of interest, difficulties for
supervision, security, safety, or morale. For the purposes of this policy, “relatives” are defined as
spouses, domestic partners, children, siblings, parents, or grandparents. A “domestic
partnership” is generally defined as a committed relationship between two individuals who are
sharing a home or living arrangements.
Current employees who marry each other or become involved in a domestic partnership will be
permitted to continue employment with the Company provided they don’t work in a direct
supervisory relationship with each other or in the same functional organization and/or team or
otherwise create a situation where an actual or potential conflict of interest arises. If employees
who marry or live together do work in a direct supervisory relationship with each other, the
Company will attempt to reassign one of the employees to another position for which they are
qualified if such a position is available.
Other Employment
While employed by DELFI, employees are expected to devote their time and energy to their job
with the Company. Employment that directly conflicts with the Company’s essential business
interests and disrupts business operations is strictly prohibited. If you wish to engage in
additional employment that may create a real or perceived conflict of interest, you must submit
a written request to your manager explaining the details of the additional employment. If the
additional employment is authorized, DELFI assumes no responsibility for such additional
employment. DELFI shall not provide workers’ compensation coverage or any other benefit for
injuries occurring from or arising out of additional employment. Additional employment will not
be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal
to travel, or refusal to work overtime or different hours. Employees with additional employment
are expected to comply with the guidelines in the Company’s Conflicts of Interest and
Confidentiality policies included above. Authorization to engage in additional employment that
creates a real or perceived conflict of interest or that causes or contributes to job-related
problems can be revoked at any time.
Recording of Conversations/Meetings
On occasion, DELFI may deem it necessary to record conversations and/or meetings for the
purpose of conducting business. In such cases, the Company will make such recording known in
advance and obtain consent where required by law. Employees may not record conversations
and/or meetings without the approval of management or the People Team. Nothing in this policy
is intended to, and the policy will not be applied in a way that would, restrict or otherwise
interfere with an employee’s right to engage in concerted activity under the National Labor
Relations Act or other legally protected activities, including the right to engage in concerted
activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, or to refrain
from engaging in such activities.
