Employment of Relatives<br />

The Company hires and promotes based on the relative qualifications and<br />

merit for every job opening. Relatives of team members may be hired and<br />

permitted to work at the same restaurant provided that no direct reporting,<br />

reviewing or other auditing relationship exists, and no other apparent or<br />

actual conflict of interest exists. For the purpose of this policy, a relative<br />

includes parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles, spouse, domestic<br />

partner, children, in-laws, and siblings. The Chief Restaurant Operations<br />

Officer will approve the employment of relatives within the same restaurant.<br />

The Company expects its team members to act as professionals and to<br />

remember their individual commitment to the Company. Team members<br />

must make management aware of their family relationships in the workplace<br />

prior to their hiring. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.<br />

Transfers may be required to avoid the placement of relatives in a direct<br />

reporting relationship.<br />

Employment References and Requests for Team Member Information<br />

If someone from outside the Company calls to obtain information about your<br />

employment with BJ’s, it is our normal practice to provide no more than the<br />

following information on current and former team members:<br />

• Name<br />

• Position<br />

• Dates of Employment<br />

• Salary Verification<br />

All other requests for a reference or letters of recommendation must be<br />

authorized through the Team Member Relations Department. The Company<br />

reserves the right to deviate from this normal practice in its discretion in<br />

accordance with law.<br />

Give-A-Slice Program<br />

At BJ’s, the act of compassionate giving influences every aspect of our<br />

Company’s culture. Caring about those in the communities we serve is only<br />

one aspect of this compassion. Caring for the BJ’s family of team members<br />

and loved ones is another. The Give-A-Slice program was created in order to<br />

help your fellow co-workers and their families in their times of need.<br />
