<br />Equal Employment Opportunity
<br />It is our policy to utilize all human resources and to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified
<br />persons, consistent with applicable federal, state, and local equal employment opportunity laws prohibiting
<br />discrimination based on race, sex (including pregnancy), age (as define in the Age Discrimination in the
<br />Employment Act of 1967, as amended), handicap/disability, religion, ancestry, color, creed, national origin,
<br />citizenship, veteran status, or any other status or condition protected by applicable law. This policy shall apply
<br />to all phases of the employment relationship including but not limited to the hiring, management, upgrading,
<br />promoting, transferring, laying-off, terminating, compensating, and recruiting of personnel. Managers and the
<br />Director of Human Resources are available to answer any questions about any equal employment opportunity
<br />practices.
<br />
<br />Workplace Harassment/Discrimination
<br />It is our policy to afford all employees a workplace that is free from all forms of sexual, pregnancy, racial,
<br />color, religious, age, handicap/disability, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, or otherwise
<br />unlawful harassment and discrimination. This policy applies to everyone connected with our business whether
<br />it is employees, customers, suppliers, vendors, etc.
<br />
<br />Harassment in any form, including verbal, physical, and visual harassment, is prohibited. Impermissible
<br />conduct includes, but is not limited to:
<br /> Verbal harassment (such as epithets, derogatory comments, or slurs, when directed at an individual on
<br />any protected basis); or
<br /> Physical harassment (such as assaults, impeding or blocking movement, or any physical interference
<br />with normal work or movement, when directed at an individual on any protected basis); or

<br /> Physical harassment (such as assaults, impeding or blocking movement, or any physical interference
<br />with normal work or movement, when directed at an individual on any protected basis); or
<br /> Visual forms of harassment (such as derogatory posters, cartoons or drawing, when directed at any
<br />individual on any protected basis)
<br />
<br />We want to prevent harassment in our workplace. However, unless we are aware of a problem, we cannot fix
<br />it. Any employee who feels that he or she is a victim of such harassment should report it promptly, regardless
<br />of who originates it or participates in it, and regardless of whether it is oral, written, visual, physical conduct,
<br />or any other type of behavior. Employees should use the reporting procedure outlined in this handbook in the
<br />“How to Report Harassment/Discrimination” section below. Any supervisory employee to whom an employee
<br />brings a complaint of sexual or other harassment, but who fails to take appropriate action to resolve it may also
<br />be disciplined, up to and including termination.
<br />
<br />If found to have occurred, violation of this policy will result in appropriate corrective action. The corrective
<br />action may include termination. There will be no retaliation against anyone who in good faith reports a
<br />violation or suspected violation of our harassment/discrimination policy.
<br />
<br />How to Report Harassment/Discrimination
<br />Anyone who is the object of any such conduct or who observes any such activity must immediately report the
<br />incident to his or her immediate worksite supervisor or any other member of management staff. If an
<br />employee does not feel comfortable reporting it to his or her immediate supervisor, he or she should not
<br />hesitate to contact any other member of management.
<br />
<br />A prompt, and to the extent possible, discreet investigation will be conducted. Anyone who in good faith
<br />brings a complaint of discrimination or harassment or who in good faith participates in a discrimination or
