20. Using in any working area or while on Company time any electronic device, including, but not limited to, cellular telephones, video cameras, tape recorders or any other audio or video recording devices, smart glasses, gaming devices, whether said devices are the employee’s personal property or are issued by the Company unless the use of such device is required to perform the duties of the employee’s job and is approved by the Plant Manager for bakery employees or the Market Vice President or Vice President of Regional Sales for sales employees. “Working time” is the time employees are expected to be working and does not include authorized meal time, breaks, or other authorized periods during the work day when the employee is officially relieved from performing work duties. This work rule does not apply to any legally protected activity. Such use is prohibited to ensure employees are not distracted in such a way that could result in work place injuries and to protect the intellectual property in the proprietary processes and equipment that are unique to our operation and a valuable component of our ability to remain competitive. 21. Bringing or possessing explosives or weapons on Company property (bakery, Company vehicles, thrift stores, warehouses, etc.). Examples of such weapons include firearms, knives exceeding 4 inches, ammunition, explosives of any kind, or novelty items that can be portrayed as a weapon. For employees who works in a facility where state or local law requires employers to permit possession of firearms or related items on Company property, the Company will comply with such requirements to the extent necessary to comply with such state or local laws. Generally, these laws limit the rights to employees who possess a valid concealed weapons permit and are not otherwise disqualified by law from possessing a firearm. Further, these laws generally require that any firearm be properly stored out of sight in a container within the employees’ locked vehicles. 22. Performing any work off the clock or failing to report to Human Resources any instruction from a supervisor asking you to perform work off the clock. For territory operations and retail sales employees this includes, but is not limited to, merchandising or rotating product, building displays, engaging with customer management and/or ordering and planning. The Company follows all applicable federal, state and local employment laws and has trained the Company’s management team in those laws. 23. Leaving the facility, your assigned route/sales market, or warehouse for non business related reasons without permission from your supervisor. This work rule does not apply to any legally protected activity. 24. Providing poor customer service, engaging in inappropriate activities while on customer property, or any other action that results in an employee being barred from servicing a customer account. B.
