Lupin Employee Handbook

Lupin generally prohibits employees from holding other employment. This policy remains in force
during all leaves of absence including NJFLA leave and violation of this policy may result in
disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment.

Retaliation Prohibited
Lupin will not interfere with, restrain, or deny you of any right provided under the NJFLA.
Furthermore, Lupin will not discharge or discriminate against you for opposing any practice made
unlawful by the NJFLA or for involvement in any proceeding under or relating to the NJFLA.
Lupin encourages employees to bring any concerns or complaints about retaliation or compliance
with the NJFLA to the attention of the Human Resources Department.

New Jersey Family Leave Insurance

If you are taking leave to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child or to care for a family
member (child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner) with a serious health
condition, you may be eligible for New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (NJFLI) benefits from the
state of New Jersey. Eligibility for benefits and the maximum weekly benefit are determined by
the state of New Jersey.

Employees may be eligible for NJFLI benefits for up to six weeks. Lupin requires employees to
use up to two weeks of accrued paid leave in lieu of the NJFLI benefits. Your job is not protected
while you are receiving NJFLI benefits unless you are eligible for leave under the Family and
Medical Leave Act or New Jersey Family Leave Act.

Employees must provide Lupin with advance notice of need for leave, as follows:

• At least 30 days before leave to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child, unless the
time of the leave is unforeseeable or the time of the leave changes for unforeseeable
reasons.
• In a reasonable and practicable manner for leave to care for a seriously ill family member
on a continuous, non-intermittent basis, unless an emergency or other unforeseen
circumstance precludes advance notice.
• At least 15 days before leave to care for a seriously ill family member on an intermittent
basis unless an emergency or other unforeseen circumstance precludes advance notice.

Domestic Violence Victims Leave

In accordance with the New Jersey Security and Financial Empowerment Act, Lupin provides
eligible employees unpaid domestic violence leave, for a qualifying reason, with a guarantee of
restoration to the same or an equivalent position on return from leave. Employees must comply
with the terms and conditions set forth in this policy.

To be eligible, employees must have worked for Lupin for at least 12 months and for at least 1,000
base hours in the 12-month period immediately preceding the leave. Eligible employees must take
the 20 days of unpaid leave within one year of the qualifying event.

Eligible employees may take unpaid leave to:
