2.6 Appearance
Maintaining a professional appearance is very important to the success of E3. While at work, you should come to
work dressed in a professional manner. There may be times when more professional attire is appropriate. Dress
appropriately to your client environment, which can be determined by asking your E3 Manager.
Other inappropriate attire that should not be worn to work including but not limited to clothing with potentially
offensive words, terms, logos, pictures, cartoons, or slogans.
Violations of dress code may result to a disciplinary action up to and including termination. Any employee who
requires an accommodation with regard to attire should contact Human Resources.
2.7 Confidentiality and Proprietary Information
All employees must sign E3’s Confidentiality Agreement upon hire and once a year. This agreement includes all of
the details regarding E3’s policy on Confidentiality and Proprietary Information.
Nothing in this Handbook or in E3’s Confidentiality Agreement should be construed as prohibiting or restricting an
employee from discussing or disclosing the employee’s compensation, the compensation of others, working
conditions, engaging in protected concerted activities, and/or reporting fraud, waste or abuse to government
authorities. In addition, nothing in this Handbook or in E3’s Confidentiality Agreement shall prohibit, and an
employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for, the disclosure
of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. Further, nothing herein shall prohibit, and
an employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for, the disclosure
of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing
is made under seal. Should an employee file a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, the
employee may disclose the trade secret to the employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in a court
proceeding, provided the employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose
the trade secret, except pursuant to Court order.
2.8 Personal Calls, Visits, Mail, and Business
E3 expects your full attention while you are working. When you are in the office or at the client site perception is
reality and although you may occasionally have to take care of personal matters during the workday, you should try
to conduct such personal business either before or after the workday or during breaks or meal periods.
During business hours, you should limit personal calls, visits, or personal transactions to a minimum. A pattern of
excessive personal phone calls, personal visits, and/or private business dealings is not acceptable and not part of the
default behavior expected of you as a member of the E3 team.
Solicitations for activities including signatures, charitable contributions, merchandise purchases, gift, birthdays, and
all other purposes, must be conducted during your non-working time. Solicitation of one employee by another is
prohibited while either person is on working time. Working time is all time when your duties require that you be
engaged in work tasks, but does not include your own time - such as meal periods, scheduled breaks, and before
and after work.
Distribution of non-work related literature, leaflets, cards, notices, advertisements, or any other non-work-related
material is prohibited in working areas. Under no circumstances may items be posted on a bulletin board or
Company intranet sites without being reviewed and approved by Human Resources. Additionally, posted materials
are not permitted in common areas, including but not limited to, halls, lounges, meeting rooms, break rooms, or
restrooms.
