| | | It is our objective to provide a work
environment free from elements that would deter you from doing your best work.
All concerns may be expressed through our open door policy. Management at
"The Company" maintains this open door policy to allow for discussion
of any issues you may have. Feel free to express yourself; We welcome your input.
If you feel you have been discriminated against in any way, you are encouraged to
express concern through this open door policy. |

employee achieve their highest potential. We will do our best to provide
opportunities for advancement and offer training, education and guidance
whenever possible. See one of the partners if you have questions. |
| | 4.3 Code of Conduct

| | | Employees of "The Company"
are to conduct themselves in a responsible, professional and ethical
manner. Report unethical or dishonest behavior to the partners. Reported
activities will be investigated by appropriate management team members who
will determine the proper means for resolution. Any
employees found to be conducting themselves in an unethical manner may be
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. |
| | 4.4 Working From Home
| |
| | | Electronic media opens the door to new
opportunities for working away from the office. As a general rule, we discourage this
practice. However, there may be certain specific circumstances where doing
so could benefit both the employee and "The Company". If you wish to
consider this option, discuss it with a partner. Monitoring procedures may be put
in place during the off-site working arrangement. All arrangements for such activities
are considered temporary and may be terminated without notice. |

| | | 4.5.1Office Hours |
| | | | Normal office hours
for "Company" employees are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
On rare occasions you may be asked to make special arrangements to work hours
outside of this schedule. If you are asked to work hours that you will be unable
to arrange, please discuss the issue with either the person who asked you to arrange
the hours or with one of the partners. |
| | | 4.5.2 Breaks |
| | | | Regardless of shift worked, all
full-time employees are required to take a lunch break. Lunch breaks are for one hour. It is
in the best interest of our employees and "The Company" to additionally provide
a short break from work twice during the workday. Typically you will receive
two refreshment breaks, one before and one after the meal break. It is the responsibility
of the partners to establish your break schedule. |
