INSPECTIONS OF COMPANY AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS
To protect employees and the Company from theft, and to enforce Company policy
prohibiting other misconduct, including the possession or use of drugs, alcohol,
weapons and stolen property, the Company reserves the right to search employees and
their personal property (e.g., vehicles, clothing, packages, purses, brief cases, lunch
boxes, or other containers brought onto Company premises) when there is reason to
believe that Company policy is being violated. Employees are expected to cooperate in
the conduct of such searches and are required to consent to such searches as a
condition of continued employment.
The Company provides property to employees for their use (e.g., Company vehicles,
desks, file cabinets, employee lockers, etc.). Employees should not have any
expectation of privacy with respect to Company owned or provided property. Searches
of Company facilities and property, including Company property in the possession of the
employee, can be conducted at any time and do not have to be based upon reason to
believe that Company policy is being violated. Employees may not withhold permission
from the Company to search Company supplied property including desks, lockers,
toolboxes, lockers and company vehicles.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
The Company will not be responsible or liable for any personal property (including
automobiles) of an individual that is lost, stolen or damaged. The responsibility for
safeguarding, replacing or repairing personal property lost, stolen or damaged while on
Company premises or in a Company-owned vehicle is that of the employee.
Consequently, we encourage employees not to bring personal property to work.
