CHAPTER 4. EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND CONDUCT
A. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
All employees will receive periodic performance reviews. Performance reviews will be conducted on the
anniversary date of each employee. However, the frequency of performance evaluations may vary
depending upon your length of service, job position, past performance, changes in job duties, or recurring
performance problems.
Your performance evaluations may review factors such as the quality and quantity of the work you
perform, your knowledge of the job, your initiative, your work attitude and your attitude toward others.
The performance evaluation should help you become aware of your progress and areas for improvement.
After your review, you will be required to sign the evaluation report to acknowledge that it has been
presented to you and discussed with you by your manager and that you are aware of its contents.
You should note that a good performance evaluation does not guarantee a pay raise, because pay
increases may not occur every year, nor is it a promise of continued employment. Your employment at
the Company is expressly at the will of you and the Company. Either you or the Company may terminate
the employment relationship with or without cause and with or without notice at any time. Nothing in this
policy alters at-will employment.
B. TERMINATION, STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, AND DISCIPLINE
Voluntary Termination
An employee who voluntarily resigns his/her employment or fails to report to work for three (3)
consecutively scheduled workdays without notice to or approval by his/her manager will be considered to
have voluntarily terminated employment with the Company. All Company-owned property must be
returned immediately upon termination of employment.
Standards of Conduct
The types of misconduct identified below are merely examples of conduct that may lead to disciplinary
action. They do not constitute a complete list of all types of conduct that can result in disciplinary action,
up to and including discharge. Neither the list of prohibited conduct nor the disciplinary action referenced
above alters the at-will nature of your employment. Either you or the Company can terminate the
employment relationship without any cause, without any reason, and in the absence of employee
misconduct. The following is prohibited and will not be tolerated by the Company.
Prohibited Conduct
1. Unlawful harassment, including sexual harassment.
2. Stealing or removing, without permission, Company property or property of another employee, a
customer, or a visitor.
3. Engaging in acts of violence or threats of violence toward employees.
4. Causing, creating, or participating in a disruption of any kind during working hours on Company
property.
5. Violation of any Company safety or security rule.
