P. 35
Bunkhouse has high expectations that all of our team members demonstrate a neat and clean appearance. This
starts with wearing a neat and complete uniform/ outfit each day. If your manager feels your personal appearance
is inappropriate, you will be asked to leave the workplace (without pay) until you are properly dressed or groomed.
Without unduly restricting individual tastes, the following personal appearance guidelines must be followed:
• Offensive body odor and poor personal hygiene is not acceptable.
• Wash hands after smoking, use of restroom, handling trash, cleaning tasks, and handling money.
• Shoes must provide safe, secure footing, and offer protection against hazards.
• Mustaches and beards must be clean, well-trimmed, and neat.
• Perfume, cologne, and aftershave lotion should be used moderately or avoided altogether, as some individuals
may be sensitive to strong fragrances.
• All uniform pants and shirts must be properly fitted to the employee’s size.
All work attire must be neat, clean, and free of any stains, holes, and tears.
UNIFORMS
If you are required to wear a uniform, you may be issued one or given instructions on what to purchase. Some
uniforms are cleaned and maintained by the company, but it is also your responsibility to keep your uniforms clean
and neat at all times. You are responsible for providing your own shoes, which should be clean and comfortable. For
the purpose of safety, you must wear practical shoes in accordance with the department set standards.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER EMPLOYEES
Bunkhouse seeks to foster and maintain a productive and healthy working environment. This can only be
accomplished through the cooperation of our employees. Employees should treat each other with mutual respect.
Our policy and company philosophy is simply to treat others in the manner you would want to be treated. If you or
any other employee is treated with disrespect, it should be reported to your supervisor or the General Manager.
DATING
The company will do everything in its power to prevent charges of favoritism or sexual harassment. At the same
time, we recognize your right to conduct your private life according to your personal interests. The company wishes
to express the use of caution and discretion in dating a co-worker because the relationship or aftermath of the
relationship may lead to workplace problems. If the event of a dating relationship develops between a supervisor
and a subordinate employee, the supervisor is responsible for notifying his or her supervisor or manager about the
relationship.
If the company determines that a dating relationship poses a problem, the company reserves the right to take
appropriate action, which may include reassigning, transferring, or terminating either or both individuals involved in
the relationship.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR COMPETITORS
Bunkhouse requires every employee to adhere to the highest standard of ethical business conduct. Our most
valuable asset is our good name.
In order to compete effectively and fairly in the marketplace with our many competitors, Bunkhouse must remain
alert to changes in services and products offered to the public by our competitors. You may not, however, seek to
gain this information improperly. For example, it is prohibited to hire an employee of a competitor to gain access to
that competitor’s trade secrets or proprietary information. Similarly, you or former employees are prohibited from
