2017 Flash Global Employee Handbook FINAL

BUSINESS ETHICS
At Flash we all have a duty to our company to be free from the influence of conflicting interests when we represent the company.
All of our employees are expected to practice good citizenship in negotiations, making recommendations with respect to business
dealings with third parties, and all other dealings with third parties on behalf of the company. Our practice is to deal with
suppliers, customers, contractors, and all others doing business with Flash on the sole basis of what is in the best interest of the
company without favor or preference based on personal considerations.
A conflict of interest can be defined as an interest, many times financial, with some other person or firm, which may affect, or
might reasonably be thought by others to affect, an employee’s judgement or conduct in matters which involve the company.
You have the responsibility to disclose any business relationship in which you are involved, or plan to become involved, which could
result in an actual or potential conflict of interest, or which could result in the appearance of a conflict of interest.
A conflict of interest may result when an employee or an employee’s friend or relative receives any kickback, bribe, substantial gift
or special consideration as a result of any transaction or business dealings involving Flash. Acceptance, directly or indirectly, by an
employee or any member of an employee’s immediate family of any service, payment, loan (except from banks or other financial
institutions), discount (except those offered to employees of Flash generally), entertainment (except that which is customary and of
nominal value), vacation or pleasure trip, gift (other than one of nominal value which is customarily offered), or gift of money in any
amount from suppliers of materials or services, except on an arm’s length basis in accordance with the supplier’s normal business
practices, is strictly prohibited. In any circumstances where you receive a personal gift with a value in excess of $35 from a
supplier or customer, you must disclose this to your manager immediately.
Flash reserves the right to determine when an employee’s activities represent a conflict of interest or are in violation of the
business ethics of the company. The company also reserves the right to take whatever action is necessary to resolve the situation
including termination of the employee.
ATTIRE IN THE WORKPLACE
The way we dress and our overall personal appearance standards contribute to the morale of all employees and affect the image
Flash presents to customers and visitors.
During work hours, you are expected to present a neat and professional appearance and to dress according to the requirements of
your work environment. Please remember that you are representing Flash and are asked to use good judgment in your attire. If you
appear for work inappropriately dressed, you may be sent home and directed to return in proper attire. Under these circumstances,
you will not be compensated for the time away from work.

• Sweat pants, excessively loose clothing.
As a safety precaution, you should not wear loose clothing that could get caught in machinery. Footwear for both men and women
