We maintain an open-door policy to all employees. Employees with ethics related concerns or
questions are encouraged to contact the HR Service Team. All concerns will be taken seriously

and will be investigated and addressed appropriately.

Employees may have access to and/or jobs involving sensitive, confidential, or proprietary
company or client information. The careless release of such information could greatly impact
our clients, their employees and customers, and our business and may also be against the law.
Therefore, all information about us or our clients, including but not limited to, that related to
employees, co-workers, customers, business plans and proposals, finances, and legal and
technical information must be held in the strictest confidence.

Any unauthorized disclosure of confidential information may result in disciplinary action, up to
and including removal from the client assignment and termination from employment with
Checks and Balances, Inc. If you have any questions about our confidentiality policy or what
constitutes confidential information, please contact the HR service Team by phone 800-624-
3698 or email to service@eeihr.com.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

We expect employees to conduct business according to the highest ethical standards of
conduct. You are expected to devote your best efforts to the interests of the organization.
Business dealings that appear to create a conflict between our interests, the client and an
employee are unacceptable. We recognize the right of employees to engage in activities
outside of their employment which are of a private nature and unrelated to our business.
However, you must disclose any possible conflicts so that we may assess and prevent potential
and/or actual conflicts of interest from arising. A potential or actual conflict of interest occurs

whenever an employee is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain
for the employee or an immediate family member (i.e., spouse or significant other, children,
parents, siblings) as a result of the organization’s business dealings.

Although it is not possible to specify every action that might create a conflict of interest, this
policy sets forth the ones which most frequently present problems. If you have any questions
about whether an action or proposed course of conduct would create a conflict of interest, you
should immediately contact the Human Resources department to obtain advice on the issue.

The purpose of this policy is to protect employees from any conflict of interest that might arise.

A violation of this policy will result in immediate and appropriate discipline, up to and including
immediate termination.
