3.11 Employee Parking
Parking on Company premises is provided to employees in designated employee parking areas only. As a courtesy to others, employees are expected to park only in specified areas on Company premises. Employees may not use parking areas specifically designated for customers or visitors, or reserved for disabled persons. Please do not park in any fire zone or restricted areas. The use of carpools, whenever possible, is encouraged. Please remember to lock your car every day. The Company assumes no responsibility for damage or theft of any vehicle, or the contents in any vehicle while using parking areas on Company premises.
3.12 Company Sponsored Social and Recreational Activities
Employees are not required to attend or participate in any post-work party or recreational, social or athletic activities. The Company periodically may sponsor such activities that are made available to employees and their immediate families. The purpose of these events is to promote fellowship among employees and their families.
Participation in any off-duty Company sponsored recreational, athletic or social activity is strictly voluntary and at the employee’s own risk. No one is required to participate in these activities, and when they occur, they do not constitute a part of any employee's work-related duties, unless the Company notifies employees in writing that participation is mandatory. The Company assumes no liability for any injury or accident arising out of any post-work party or social event. It is important to remember also that any injuries or illnesses that may result from participation in a Company sponsored recreational, athletic or social activities are not covered by workers' compensation insurance.
At activities sponsored by the Company, each employee is advised and expected to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages or engaging in any other activity to the extent that it would cause him or her to be unfit for the safe operation of a motor vehicle, or to behave in an intoxicated or disorderly manner. Nevertheless, if any employee feels unsafe in driving, that employee should engage a taxicab to get home safely or ask another employee who has not been drinking alcohol for a ride home.
The behavior of all employees and their guests attending a Company sponsored social event is expected to conform to the Guidelines for Employee Conduct in this Handbook.
Employees will be paid their normal wage or salary if required to be a witness or required by a subpoena to appear in court on Company business. Employees will not be paid for their time off if summoned to appear in court as a witness or because of a subpoena on matters not pertaining to Company business or on matters in which they are personally involved in the legal action. While taking time off from work, employees may use their accrued PTO benefits during any witness duty leave.
