DKB part 1

• Selection of Hourly or Non-exempt Employees Panel Members: The individual with a complaint or problem draws five 5 names from the hourly or non-exempt employee PRP pool and chooses 3 from the 5 to serve on the panel.

• Selection of Exempt Employee Panel Members – The individual draws 4 names from the exempt employee PRP pool and chooses 2 from the 4 to serve on the panel.

STEP THREE The five-member panel meets to consider and discuss the case. The peer review process ends when a decision by the panel is rendered (based on a majority vote by secret ballot), normally within 10 days. The decision is then communicated to all parties and the department head, who will review the decision. A rejection of the panel decision by the PRP Appeals Committee can only occur when the decision is unlawful, is contrary to published company policies and procedures, or would compromise or otherwise be detrimental to the Company ’s trademark or proprietary information and therefore adverse to the best interest of employees. It is our intent, to the extent possible, to keep matters brought and addressed under the Peer Review Program confidential. Furthermore, no employee will be subject to any form of retaliation or discipline for processing a complaint or problem under this procedure.

PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

To assist you in performing your job to the best of your abilities, it is important that the Company recognize good performance and provide appropriate suggestions for improvement when needed. For that reason, your supervisor will evaluate your work performance on an ongoing basis. Good performance reviews are not a guarantee of salary increases, career advancement, or continued employment. All formal performance reviews will be based upon Flowers’s organizational competencies and how your performance supports company and department goals. If you need to discuss your work with your supervisor, you may request an informal review at any time.

HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT SUPPORT

The Human Resources Department is available to answer questions you may have and to provide assistance in many ways. Keeping you informed about the details of personnel policies and the various employee benefit programs is one of its most important responsibilities. For various reasons, the Human Resources Department must maintain up-to-date personnel records for all employees. Your marital status, a new home or mailing address, a different telephone number, new dependents, change in insurance beneficiaries, additional education, whom to notify in case of emergency, etc. are all changes that you can make privately in Career Connect. Career connect is also the way you access your pay statements and PTO accrual balance and update your personal information. Your Human Resources representative can show you how to navigate around OKTA and Career Connect and use the services it offers.

The Human Resources Department maintains a complete, confidential personnel file covering your status and progress while employed.

As required by law, employees have the right to examine and copy any medical records pertaining to them that are on file in the Human Resources Department. However, these medical records, (referred to as “Protected Health Information”) may not be used for any reason other than health plan administration or except as required by law. All other personnel file documentation is the proprietary property of the Company and may not be copied or distributed, except where legally required.
