FBC Oxford Employee Handbook

The Company is a drug-free workplace . Besides pre-employment drug testing, we also conduct random drug testing of all employees. We do not tolerate the violation of our Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy for any reason. Violations of the policy can pose a danger to you, your fellow employees, and our customers. It can also affect the Company ’s good will, good name and everyone's job security. Quite simply, neither the Company nor you can afford it! A copy of the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy is permanently posted on the bulletin board and is reviewed with each employee. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please discuss them with your supervisor or your Human Resources Department. To help inform and educate all of us on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, we have established an awareness program. This program emphasizes our policy of maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free workplace; advises you of available counseling or rehabilitation opportunities and employee assistance programs; and includes features in our employee communications. The Company strongly encourages employees who develop a drug and/or alcohol problem to notify the human resources business partner or your supervisor prior to being caught in violation of this policy. It is the employee's responsibility to seek assistance before being discovered in violation of the policy and the Company takes disciplinary action. If you enter a pre approved treatment program, you may be eligible for certain benefits during your absence. Please see your human resources business partner for more details. To protect our customers and our employees’ safety and health, we take a number of steps to ensure that our policy is followed including for cause, post-accident, and/or random drug/alcohol testing.

TOBACCO-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY

To provide a healthy work environment, the Company established a Tobacco-Free Workplace Policy. The Company does not permit smoking or the use of any tobacco products — including electronic cigarettes — inside its facilities, including offices and restrooms. Tobacco use is permitted only in approved areas. Always use proper disposal containers when extinguishing lighted tobacco products or expelling smokeless tobacco. See your supervisor for more details .

MOONLIGHTING POLICY

Employees are permitted to engage in outside work or hold other jobs, subject to certain restrictions as outlined below.

• Activities and conduct away from the job must not compete, conflict with or compromise the Company interests or adversely affect job performance and the ability to fulfill all responsibilities to the Company. Employees are prohibited from performing any services for customers on nonworking time that are normally performed by the Company. This prohibition also extends to the unauthorized use of any company tools or equipment and the unauthorized use or application of any confidential information. In addition, employees are not to solicit or conduct any outside business during paid working time. • Employees are cautioned to consider carefully the demands that additional work activity will create before accepting outside employment. Outside employment will not be considered an excuse for poor job performance, absenteeism, tardiness, leaving early, refusal to travel or refusal to work overtime or different hours. If outside work activity causes or contributes to job-related problems, it must be discontinued, and, if necessary, normal disciplinary procedures will be followed to deal with the specific problem. • It is a violation of this policy, punishable by disciplinary action up to and including termination, for an employee while on paid or unpaid leave of absence, other than vacation/PTO or military leave, to engage in employment for another employer, or to engage in activities on behalf of a business owned or partly owned by the employee, unless prior approval is granted by the Plant Manager.
