Standards of Conduct and Administrative Policies

Employees must conduct themselves professionally, comply with lawful instructions, and avoid any conduct that would harm the reputation or operations of the organization. Unlawful discrimination, harassment, theft, falsification of records, or other misconduct are grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination. The organization maintains progressive discipline procedures but reserves the right to skip steps depending on the severity of an infraction.

Attendance, Timekeeping and Leave

Employees are required to accurately record time worked and to obtain approval for leave in accordance with departmental procedures. Excessive tardiness or unexcused absences may result in counseling or termination. Leave requests and time-off documentation must be submitted per company procedures and validated with supporting documentation where required.

Confidentiality, Data Security and Use of Company Property

Employees must protect confidential business information and personally identifiable information of the organization and its clients. Access to confidential records is limited to authorized personnel based on business need. Use of company-owned devices, networks, and accounts must comply with IT security policies. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information is grounds for disciplinary action and may result in civil or criminal liability.
