C. OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT<br />
While employed by the Company, <strong>employee</strong>s are expected to devote their energies to their jobs with the<br />
Company. For this reason, second jobs are strongly discouraged. The following types of outside<br />
employment are strictly prohibited:<br />
1. Employment that conflicts with an <strong>employee</strong>'s work schedule, duties, and/or responsibilities.<br />
2. Employment that creates a conflict of interest or is incompatible with the <strong>employee</strong>'s employment<br />
with the employer.<br />
3. Employment that interferes with the protection of the Employer's proprietary or confidential<br />
information.<br />
5. Employment that impairs or has a detrimental effect on the <strong>employee</strong>'s work performance with<br />
the employer.<br />
6. Employment that requires the <strong>employee</strong> to conduct work or related activities on the employer's<br />
property during the employer's working hours or using the employer's facilities and/or equipment.<br />
7. Employment that directly or indirectly competes with the business or the interests of the<br />
employer.<br />
8. Employment that creates a situation of current or future remuneration.<br />
Employees who wish to engage in outside employment must submit a written request to the Company<br />
explaining the details of the outside employment. If the outside employment is authorized, the Company<br />
assumes <strong>no</strong> responsibility for the outside employment. No work related to an <strong>employee</strong>'s outside<br />
employment may be performed during Company time, with Company property or equipment, or on<br />
Company premises. The Company shall <strong>no</strong>t provide workers' compensation coverage or any other<br />
benefit for injuries occurring from or arising out of outside employment. Authorization to engage in<br />
outside employment can be revoked at any time.<br />
D. DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE<br />
The Company is concerned about the use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or controlled substances as it affects<br />
the workplace. Use of these substances, whether on or off the job, can adversely affect an <strong>employee</strong>'s<br />
work performance, efficiency, safety, and health and, therefore, seriously impair the <strong>employee</strong>'s value to<br />
the Company. In addition, the use or possession of these substances on the job constitutes a potential<br />
danger to the welfare and safety of other <strong>employee</strong>s and exposes the Company to the risks of property<br />
loss or damage or injury to other persons. The use of alcohol must be pre-approved, for example,<br />
Company sponsored events.<br />
Standards of Conduct<br />
The following rules and standards of conduct apply to all <strong>employee</strong>s either on Company property or<br />
during the work day (including meals and rest periods). The following are strictly prohibited by the<br />
Company:<br />
1. Possession or use of alcohol or being under the influence of alcohol while on the job; unless<br />
authorized Company events.<br />
2. Driving a Company vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.<br />
