applicant in compliance with state and federal disability discrimination laws.<br />

As part of its commitment to make reasonable accommodations, the<br />

Company wishes to participate in a timely and good faith interactive process<br />

with any disabled applicant or team member to determine what effective<br />

reasonable accommodations, if any, can be made in response to a request for<br />

accommodation. Applicants and team members are invited to identify<br />

reasonable accommodations that can be made to assist them to perform the<br />

essential functions of the position they seek or occupy. They should contact<br />

the Team Member Relations Department as soon as possible to request the<br />

opportunity to participate in a timely interactive process. By working<br />

together in good faith, the Company hopes to implement any reasonable<br />

accommodations that are appropriate and consistent with its legal<br />

obligations. Please direct any questions concerning this policy to the Team<br />

Member Relations Department.<br />

Prohibition of Retaliation<br />

The Company prohibits retaliation against any team member by another<br />

team member or by the Company for utilizing the complaint procedure<br />

and/or for filing, testifying, assisting or participating in any manner in any<br />

investigation, proceeding, or hearing conducted by a federal or state<br />

enforcement agency. Any report of retaliation will be investigated in the<br />

same manner as the original complaint. Any team member who is found to<br />

have retaliated will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including<br />

termination. Team members who believe they have been retaliated against<br />

in any way by another team member or member of management must<br />

contact the Team Member Relations Department promptly.<br />

This policy does not mean, however, that a participant in an investigation<br />

will be protected from disciplinary action by the Company if he/she, through<br />

the process, is found to have violated a Company policy or the law or to have<br />

engaged in inappropriate workplace conduct.<br />

Open Door Policy for Complaints and Suggestions<br />

BJ’s promotes a working atmosphere in which you should feel free to talk<br />

with any member of your management team about work-related problems<br />

and suggestions. We feel confident that they will answer your questions,<br />

listen to your complaints or concerns about working conditions or treatment<br />

you feel you are receiving, and listen to your suggestions and ideas. If you<br />

need further assistance, please reach out to the Team Member Relations<br />

Department or the Team Member Hotline. We can’t always implement<br />

every idea or suggestion but if you don’t share yours with us, we will never<br />

know if your idea was the one that could make the difference at BJ’s!<br />
