Harassment is defined as unwelcome or unsolicited verbal, physical or sexual conduct that interferes with an
employees job performance or creates an intimidating, offensive or hostile work environment. Examples of what
may be considered harassment, depending on the circumstances, are:
We will not allow harassment by supervisors, co-workers, or non-employees under our control. Employees are
required to respect the rights of their co-workers. Those who witness or are victims of harassment should notify the
Corporate Office at hr@eatandys.com or 417-881-3500 immediately.
I have read and understand the ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD Anti-Harassment Policy.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD believes that its employees should be treated with respect and should be able to
work in a hostile-free work environment. Accordingly, we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment by
any person, in any form, and between individuals of the same or opposite gender. This policy applies to the conduct
between a supervisor and a subordinate as well as conduct between co-workers and non-employees, such as
suppliers, or customers.
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that is prohibited by law, as well as our company policy. Sexual
harassment is defined by the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) as unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of sexual nature when:
An employee is expected, either explicitly or implicitly, to submit to conduct in order to get or keep a job
An employees willingness or unwillingness to submit to certain conduct is used as the basis for an
employment related decision affecting the employee
An intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment that substantially interferes with an employees job
performance
The following are examples of the behavior that is prohibited by this policy:
Obscene or objectionable language, telling sexual jokes, or making sexual innuendoes
Addressing an individual with a term of endearment or nickname that is not of that individuals choosing
Touching, hugging, rubbing, patting, pinching, or kissing another person
Leering at a persons body, or making comments about a persons clothing, body, or personal life
Displaying sexually explicit or offensive pictures or materials in the workplace
Unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances, or propositions
Pressuring an employee for dates or sexual behaviors
Distributing, circulating, or promoting the above behaviors through email or the Internet
Employees should never assume that the behaviors listed above would be acceptable to another employee.
Employees should be aware of how people respond to what they do and say. If an individual objects to a specific
behavior toward him or her, other employees should listen to and be mindful of the objections. It is important that
sexual harassment and all forms of discrimination be reported. Management cannot correct the situation if they have
not been notified of its existence.
Any employee who believes he or she has been sexually harassed, or has been a victim of any form of
discrimination, should immediately report the conduct to his or her supervisor or the Corporate Office. The
employee is not required to confront his/her alleged harasser. Any employee who observes sexual harassment
occurring or receives any report of sexual harassment must immediately notify the Sexual Harassment Committee
listed below or the Corporate Office at hr@eatandys.com about the incident. No employee will be disciplined or
retaliated against for reporting or complaining about sexual harassment or other discrimination.
Employees who have engaged in harassing or discriminatory behavior will be subject to appropriate disciplinary
action, up to and including discharge. In addition, employees who have filed a false charge or submitted false
information may be subject to discipline or discharge.
I have read and understand the ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD Sexual Harassment Policy.
Employees of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD may have access to confidential information that is fundamental to
the products we offer, how we operate, and how we serve our customers. Proprietary information includes, but is
not limited to, business processes, marketing strategies, technological data, trade secrets, personnel data, financial
information, recipes, methods of working, customer list, internal procedures, future business plans, and other
information developed solely for use by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD. This information should not be disclosed
or used either during or after your employment with ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD, except as necessary to perform
official duties of the job.
Employees should avoid discussing this information with family or friends, in public, or on the Internet so that it is
not inadvertently disclosed. Misuse of confidential information may result in civil or criminal liability or sanctions
and penalties against ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD and the individual responsible for misusing such information.
Employees who improperly use or disclose trade secrets or confidential business information will be subject to
disciplinary action, including termination of employment and legal action, even if the employee did not benefit from
the disclosed information.
I acknowledge my responsibilities for protecting confidential information and have read and understand the Non-
Disclosure Agreement.

The information in this manual is confidential and may not be shared with anyone not employed at ANDYS

Ethical business behavior is the responsibility of every employee. Failure to act in an ethical manner will be cause

required in a particular situation, please contact the Corporate Office.
Employment Relationship
Your relationship with ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD is strictly a voluntary one. If you do not have a specific
employment contract or collective bargaining agreement, employment is at-will. This means that you may terminate
your employment at any time for any reason, with or without notice. Additionally, ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
may terminate your employment at any time, for any reason.
This handbook is not a contract or legal document, nor is it an invitation to contract. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
only recognizes contracts that are in writing and signed by members of senior management. Employees are advised
to seek clarification from senior management regarding any promises made by representatives of ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD which are inconsistent with the provisions of this handbook, including our policy of
employment at-will.
Computer Use
The use of computers is a necessary part of the day-to-day job for many ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD employees.
Unfortunately, inappropriate computer use may cause a number of serious problems. ANDYS FROZEN
CUSTARD has established this computer use policy to help employees understand the expectations ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD has in regards to the use of company provided computers and data processing equipment.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD provides employees with certain equipment depending upon the requirements of
their job. Some jobs require the regular use of a computer and or access to our company networks and the Internet.
Other employees who do not require the regular use of a computer may still have access to computers at various
times for various purposes. This policy applies to all employees regardless of their job position and whether or not
they regularly use a computer.
Company Computers
All data processing hardware, including desktop and notebook computers, printers, storage devices, and networking
hardware are the property of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD has provided you
with access to these resources so that you may perform your job. This equipment represents a significant investment
on the part of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD and should be used in an appropriate manner. Some examples of
impermissible use of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD computer and data processing equipment include, but are not
limited to:
Internet
If your computer has Internet access, we have provided you with this service because we believe it is necessary for
you to perform your job. Internet access is primarily to be used for legitimate business purposes relating to the
operation of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD. If you are unsure if accessing a particular website is permissible, you
may check with your supervisor or the Corporate Office. Some examples of websites and services that may not be
accessed include, but are not limited to:
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD also provides some employees with access to our corporate email system. If we
have provided you with access to our corporate email system we have done so because we believe it is a necessary
tool so that you may perform your job. Use of our corporate email system is restricted to legitimate business
purposes relating to the operation of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD. Your ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD email
account remains the property of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD and is not to be used as a personal email account.
Examples of impermissible email use include but are not limited to:
When using our corporate email system to communicate with fellow employees, suppliers, and customers, always
use proper etiquette, spelling and grammar. Avoid slang terms or expressions, derogatory comments, and
inappropriate language. Messages you send using our email system reflect not only on yourself but also ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD. Try to avoid sending replies too quickly. Often, after you have carefully considered a
situation, you can send a more thoughtful response.
Please limit the use of the Carbon Copy (CC, BCC) function to situations where it is essential. If you are asking a
question or directing a comment to an individual, it is often confusing when many other people are copied on the
same message. Furthermore, there are very few instances where you will need to send an email to everyone in the
company. Discuss the matter with your supervisor before copying all employees. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
has implemented systems to limit the amount of spam and inappropriate messages delivered by our email system.
However, from time-to-time, spam or inappropriate messages may still get through. We ask that employees be
responsible and delete these messages immediately. If you seem to be getting a large number of spam or
inappropriate messages please immediately discuss the matter with your supervisor or the Corporate Office. It is the
policy of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD to prevent unlawful harassment or discrimination in our workplace and we
will work with you to block inappropriate messages.
Monitoring
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD may monitor your computer usage, Internet access, and email usage to ensure
compliance with this and other ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD polices. You should have no expectation of privacy
when using ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD systems. Misuse of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD, computers, data
processing equipment, Internet access, or email systems may result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination.

permission.

This policy is subject to change as new laws are introduced and social media evolves. Violation of any of the above
policies may result in disciplinary action, discharge, or legal action depending on the severity of the offense
determined by management.
Telephone Use
The use of telephones is a necessary part of the day-to-day job for some ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD employees.
Unfortunately, inappropriate telephone use may also be a source of distraction that can cause lower productivity and,
in some instances, may present a safety hazard. Violation of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD policies regarding the
personal use of business telephones or communication devices may result in disciplinary action up to and including
termination. Employees also may be responsible for charges ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD incurs as a result of
violations of this policy.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD may monitor phone calls made or received using our company phone system and
may access and review call logs and voice mail recordings to ensure compliance with this and other ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD policies. You should have no expectation of privacy when using our phone system.
Telephone etiquette is of the utmost importance. Only shift leaders or managers should answer store phones unless
other employees are directed to do so. We ask employees to answer the telephone as follows: Good (morning,
afternoon, evening), Andys Frozen Custard location (example: East Sunshine) this is your first name. How may I
help you? A pleasant, enthusiastic voice promotes good customer relations. Make every effort to be as courteous
and helpful as possible. Answer the phone as quickly as possible. However, the customer you are serving has
priority over the telephone.
The use of personal mobile phones and other communication devices may be a source of distraction that causes
lower productivity and in some instances may present a safety hazard. Accordingly, ANDYS FROZEN
CUSTARD does prohibit the use of personal mobile phones and other communication devices during working
hours. You may be asked to have your phone securely stored in the managers office or to leave it in your vehicle.
Under no circumstances are employees to use a mobile phone or other communication device while operating
any company vehicle or while on company business in your personal vehicle. This policy applies regardless of
the ownership of the communication device, applying equally to devices owned by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
and devices that are the personal property of the employee. Please read the Use of Vehicles for Company Business
policy for additional information.
If someone needs to reach you while you are working, you may provide him or her with our main telephone number.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD expects that any personal calls to employees during working hours will occur in
exceptional circumstances only and will be kept to a minimum.
Have an equal opportunity to apply for jobs and to work in jobs for which they are qualified
Have an equal opportunity to be promoted once they are working
Have equal access to benefits and privileges of employment that are offered to other employees
Are not harassed because of their disability
We will not ask questions about disabilities until after we have made someone a conditional job offer. After making
a job offer, we will only ask disability-related questions.
Once a person with a disability has started working, actual job performance, and not the employees disability, will
be used as an indicator of the employees ability to do the job.
Any medical information about applicants or employees will be kept confidential. Information can be confidential
even if it contains no medical diagnosis or treatment course and even if it is not generated by a health care
professional.
We will provide reasonable accommodations if a person with a disability needs one in order to apply for a job,
perform a job, or enjoy benefits equal to those we offer to other employees. We will not provide an accommodation
that poses an undue hardship to ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
Once an accommodation is requested, we will discuss the employees needs and identify the appropriate reasonable
accommodation. We may ask for documentation as to why the requested accommodation is needed.
We will ask questions related to disability and may require a medical examination of an employee whose medical
condition appears to be causing performance or safety problems.
Breastfeeding Mothers
It is the policy of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD to support the health and well being of working mothers and their
children. As part of this policy, in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010,
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will provide eligible employees with:
Reasonable break periods to express milk during the first year following the birth of a child.
A private area, other than a restroom, where the employee may express milk and be shielded from view and

Employee Responsibilities:
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will employ only United States citizens and those non-United States citizens who
are authorized to work in the United States. We will comply with all aspects of the Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986.
As a condition of employment, each new employee must complete the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9
and present documentation establishing identity and substantiating employment eligibility. Former employees who
are rehired must also complete the form if they have not completed an I-9 with ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
within the past three years or if their previous I-9 is no longer retained or valid. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will
not discriminate on the basis of national origin or citizenship.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have established an
electronic system called E-Verify to assist employers further in verifying the employment eligibility of all newly
hired employees. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD may elect to utilize the E-Verify system to help ensure
compliance with Federal immigration laws.
E-Verify Statement
Through E-Verify, employers send information about you from your Form I-9 to SSA and DHS to ensure that you
are authorized to work in the United States and that your name, Social Security Number, date of birth, citizenship
status, and any other non-citizen information you choose to provide us on the Form I-9 match government records.
As an employee, you have certain rights and responsibilities.
Employers must post a notice informing employees of their use of E-Verify in English and in Spanish
E-Verify must be used for new hires only. It cannot be used to verify the employment eligibility of current
employees.
E-Verify must be used for all new hires regardless of national origin or citizenship status. It may not be
used selectively.
E-Verify must be used only after hire and after completion of the Form I-9. Employers may not pre-screen
applicants through E-Verify.
If an employee receives an information mismatch from their Form I-9 and SSA and DHS databases, the
employer must promptly provide the employee with information about how to challenge the information
mismatch, including a written notice generated by E-Verify.
If an employee decides to challenge the information mismatch, the employer must provide the person with
a referral letter issued by E-Verify that contains specific instructions and contact information.
Employers may not take any adverse action against an employee because he/she contests the information
mismatch. This includes firing, suspending, withholding pay or training, or otherwise infringing
upon his/her employment.
The employee must be given eight federal government workdays to contact the appropriate federal agency
to contest the information mismatch.
If an employee receives a SSA tentative non-confirmation (TNC), they have the option of visiting an SSA
field office to update their record or if the employee is a naturalized citizen, the employee may choose to
call USCIS directly to resolve the TNC. The phone number may be found on the SSA referral letter.
We will not:
Make employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits, or
performance of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, genetic profile, national origin, or an
individual with a disability.
Deny employment opportunities to a person because of marriage to, or association with, an individual
of a particular race, religion, genetic profile, national origin, or an individual with a disability. We will
also not discriminate because of participation in schools or places of worship associated with a
particular racial, ethnic, or religious group.
If you feel you have been discriminated against, or if you feel any policy in this handbook discriminates against you
on the basis of disability, national origin, or religion please contact the Corporate Office at (417)-881-3500 or at
hr@eatandys.com.
However, Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for
employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales employees. Section
13(a)(1) and Section 13(a)(17) also exempt certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees
generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 per
week. Job titles do not determine exempt status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employees specific job
duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the Departments regulations.
To qualify for exemption, employees generally must be paid at not less than $455 per week on a salary basis. These
salary requirements do not apply to outside sales employees, teachers, and employees practicing law or medicine.
Exempt computer employees may be paid at least $455 on a salary basis or on an hourly basis at a rate not less than
$27.63 an hour.
Being paid on a salary basis means an employee regularly receives a predetermined amount of compensation each
pay period on a weekly, or less frequent, basis. The predetermined amount cannot be reduced because of variations
in the quality or quantity of the employees work. Subject to exceptions listed below, an exempt employee must
receive the full salary for any workweek in which the employee performs any work, regardless of the number of
days or hours worked. Exempt employees do not need to be paid for any workweek in which they perform no work.
If the employer makes deductions from an employees predetermined salary, i.e., because of the operating
requirements of the business, that employee is not paid on a salary basis. If the employee is ready, willing, and
able to work, deductions may not be made for time when work is not available.
Deductions from pay are permissible when an exempt employee: is absent from work for one or more full days for
personal reasons other than sickness or disability; for absences of one or more full days due to sickness or disability
if the deduction is made in accordance with a bona fide plan, policy or practice of providing compensation for salary
lost due to illness, to offset amounts employees receive as jury or witness fees, or for military pay, or for unpaid
Company Policy
It is our policy to comply with the salary basis requirements of the FLSA. Therefore, we prohibit all company
managers from making any improper deductions from the salaries of exempt employees. We want employees to be
aware of this policy and that the company does not allow deductions that violate the FLSA.
If you believe that an improper deduction has been made to your salary, you should immediately report this
information to your direct supervisor, or to the Corporate Office.
Reports of improper deductions will be promptly investigated. If it is determined that an improper deduction has
occurred, you will be promptly reimbursed for any improper deduction made.
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) limits exclusions for preexisting conditions,
prohibits discrimination against employees and their dependents based on their health status, and allows for
individuals who have experienced certain events to Special Enroll into a Health Plan sponsored by ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD or another companys Health Plan.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD has taken steps to ensure that the Health Plan(s) that we sponsor fully complies with
the HIPAA exclusions on preexisting conditions. ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD has also reviewed our internal
policies and procedures to ensure that we do not discriminate against employees or their dependents based upon
health status. Eligible individuals may enroll in the Health Plan(s) sponsored by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
regardless of current health status.
Special Enrollment rights apply under two broad sets of circumstances. The first set of circumstances relate to the
loss of other health coverage. If you originally declined coverage at ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD because you
already had other health coverage, you may have the opportunity to Special Enroll in the event that you lose that
other coverage. The definition of a loss of coverage is quite complex. You may refer to your Notification of
Special Enrollment Rights to learn more about a loss of coverage or you may contact the Corporate Office if you
have additional questions.
The other circumstances, which may trigger a special enrollment opportunity, are changes in your family. In the
event that you gain a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or the placement for adoption, you may
have the opportunity to Special Enroll yourself and/or the new dependent in an ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD
Health Plan. As is the case with loss of coverage, there are special rules that regulate who may be added to the
Health Plan as a result of special enrollment. You may refer to your Notification of Special Enrollment Rights to
learn more about covering a new dependent or you may contact the Corporate Office if you have additional
questions.
Most Special Enrollments must be reported to us within 30 days of the event that triggered the Special Enrollment
rights. For example, if you lose coverage under another employers health plan on the 1st of the month, you must
request Special Enrollment with ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD by the 30th of the month. The same 30-day rule
applies to most other Special Enrollment opportunities such as marriage. The exception to the 30-day rule is when
coverage is lost under the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) or Medicaid. A loss of coverage
under SCHIP or Medicaid must be reported to us within 60 days of the event.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD provides all employees with a information on Special Enrollment Rights before
they are offered coverage in the Health Plan(s) sponsored by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD. This notification
gives you important information about your Special Enrollment rights. If you have lost your health insurance
introductory letter that details special enrollment rights, you can request a copy from the Corporate Office. If you
decline enrollment under ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARDs plan for yourself or your dependents, we will ask you to
complete a Declination of Enrollment form. This form will be kept on file to document the reason(s) why you
declined coverage. Our insurance contract(s) may require that we provide them with a copy of this form in the event
that you request a Special Enrollment due to loss of other coverage. We may also need evidence of the date that
your other coverage was lost. The most common form of evidence is a Certificate of Creditable Coverage. A
Certificate of Creditable Coverage may be automatically mailed to you when your other coverage is lost. Providing
a copy of this certificate will help us ensure that your Special Enrollment is processed quickly and efficiently. If you
do not have a Certificate of Creditable Coverage, there are other ways you can demonstrate the loss of other
coverage. If you have any questions, contact the Corporate Office.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARDs Health Plan(s) offers an annual Open Enrollment period. If you have previously
declined coverage for yourself or your dependents but have not experienced a Special Enrollment event, you may
have the opportunity to enroll during our Open Enrollment period. Our Open Enrollment period begins
November 1st and ends November 30th of each year.
Subject to certain exceptions, you must give advance notice that you intend to leave your position to perform service
in the uniformed services. Notice should be as far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. If you leave
your job to perform service in the uniformed services, you may have the right to be reemployed in the position that
you would have attained if you had stayed continuously employed or in a comparable position. Upon completing
service in the military services, you must notify us of your intent to return to your position by either reporting to
work or submitting a timely application for reemployment, depending upon your length of service.
If you leave your job to perform military service, you have the right to elect to continue your existing health
insurance coverage offered by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD for you and your dependents for up to 24 months
while on military leave. It is the policy of ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD that continuation under USERRA shall
run concurrently with Federal COBRA and state continuation, if applicable, to the extent allowed by law.
Even if you do not elect to continue coverage during your military service, you have the right to be reinstated in
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARDs health plan when you are reemployed, generally without any waiting periods or
exclusions (e.g. pre-existing condition exclusions) except for service-connected injuries.
Military leave is unpaid, however, you may use any accrued benefits that you have. Please contact the Corporate
Office if you have any questions.
Anti-Harassment Policy
Harassment is defined as unwelcome or unsolicited verbal, physical, or sexual conduct that interferes with an
employees job performance or which creates an intimidating, offensive or hostile work environment. Examples of
what may be considered harassment, depending on the circumstances, are:
We will not allow harassment by supervisors, co-workers, or non-employees under our control. Employees are
required to respect the rights of their co-workers. Those who witness or are victims of harassment should notify the
Corporate Office at hr@eatandys.com or 417-881-3500 immediately.
Retaliation
We will not fire, demote, harass, or otherwise retaliate against an individual for filing a charge of harassment or
discrimination, participating in a discrimination proceeding, or otherwise opposing discrimination.
Anyone who feels that he or she has been harassed or discriminated against should report such incidents to one of
the following individuals or the Corporate Office at hr@eatandys.com:
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD believes that its employees should be treated with respect and should be able to
work in a hostile-free work environment. Accordingly, we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment by
any person, in any form, and between individuals of the same or opposite gender. This policy applies to the conduct
between a supervisor and a subordinate as well as conduct between co-workers and non-employees, such as
suppliers, or customers.
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that is prohibited by law, as well as our company policy. Sexual
harassment is defined by the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) as unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of sexual nature when:
An employee is expected, either explicitly or implicitly, to submit to conduct in order to get or keep a job
An employees willingness or unwillingness to submit to certain conduct is used as the basis for an
employment related decision affecting the employee
An intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment that substantially interferes with an employees job
performance
The following are examples of the behavior that is prohibited by this policy:
Obscene or objectionable language, telling sexual jokes, or making sexual innuendoes
Addressing an individual with a term of endearment or nickname that is not of that individuals choosing
Touching, hugging, rubbing, patting, pinching, or kissing another person
Leering at a persons body, or making comments about a persons clothing, body, or personal life
Displaying sexually explicit or offensive pictures or materials in the workplace
Unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances, or propositions
Pressuring an employee for dates or sexual behaviors
Distributing, circulating, or promoting the above behaviors through email, Internet, or telephones
Employees should never assume that the behaviors listed above would be acceptable to another employee.
Employees should be aware of how people respond to what they do and say. If an individual objects to a specific
behavior toward him or her, other employees should listen to and be mindful of the objections. It is important that
sexual harassment and all forms of discrimination be reported. Management cannot correct the situation if they have
not been notified of its existence.
Any employee, who believes he or she has been sexually harassed, or has been a victim of any form of
discrimination, should immediately report the conduct to his or her supervisor, the Corporate Office at
hr@eatandys.com, or the Sexual Harassment Committee listed below. The employee is not required to confront
his/her alleged harasser. Any employee who observes sexual harassment occurring or receives any report of sexual
harassment must immediately notify the Sexual Harassment Committee listed below or the Corporate Office at
hr@eatandys.com about the incident. No employee will be disciplined or retaliated against for reporting or
complaining about sexual harassment or other discrimination.
An unbiased investigation of complaints and reports will be conducted in a timely and confidential manner, with
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD INC.s discretion as to the manner and extent of the investigation. Throughout the
investigation, confidentiality will be preserved, to the greatest extent possible, as determined by ANDYS FROZEN
CUSTARD. It is an employees duty to cooperate with investigations and employees may be asked to provide
written statements about the incident. Retaliation against the individual reporting the incident will occur under no
circumstances. If the investigation determines that sexual harassment or other forms of discrimination have
occurred, ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will take immediate corrective action to end the problem and prevent its
reoccurrence. Employees who have engaged in harassing or discriminatory behavior will be subject to appropriate
disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. In addition, employees who have filed a false charge or
submitted false information may be subject to discipline or discharge.

related concerns. If an employee feels a work-related complaint is in order, the following steps should be followed.
Employees with a complaint are asked to make use of this service.
The employee is encouraged to first attempt to resolve the issue through discussions with his/her manager.
It is then the managers responsibility to attempt to settle the issue quickly. A primary function of the
manager is to assist employees in the solution of their problems. If the store manager cannot resolve the
issue, then they are to contact the General Manager.
If the employees manager does not resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time, the employee,
manager, and General Manager will meet to discuss the complaint and resolve the issue.
You will not be penalized, criticized or discriminated against by ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD management for
the filing of a complaint pursuant to the aforementioned procession. The decision of the President will be

Hiring of Relatives
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD allows members of your family to apply for work with the company as long as they
are not assigned to work in situations that may cause a conflict of interests. Special consideration will not be given
to relatives.
Relatives are eligible for employment in any position available as long as:
o It is not a situation where they would work for or report to one another.
o It is not a situation where they would review or process one anothers work.
Work assignments may be further restricted if your work or the relatives work is confidential.
No individual may be placed in the position of disbursing funds or merchandise to a relative.
For the purpose of this policy, relatives are defined as: parents, siblings, spouse, children, grandparents,
grandchildren, or in-laws.
In the event that two employees marry, ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD, INC management will determine
if their positions create a sensitive situation. If it is determined that it does cause a sensitive situation, one
employee may be transferred to another store (if positions are available) or discontinue employment. The
company cannot guarantee a transfer, but will make every reasonable effort to locate an opening to enable
you to transfer.
Non-Disclosure
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD has various types of confidential business information, which must be protected.
Employees are obligated to protect this information. Such confidential information includes, but is not limited to,
the following examples.
Certain employees who have access to confidential or protected information may be asked to complete a

information may be subject to disciplinary action. This policy does not prohibit or penalize disclosures regarding
benefits, wages, working conditions, or other matters regarding employment at ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD

Problem Resolution
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARDs policies and procedures emphasize open-door practices in which employees are
encouraged to deal directly with their supervisors and other members of management regarding complaints and
problems.
If the matter still is not resolved satisfactorily, the employee may present the complaint to the Corporate Office at
hr@eatandys.com, which will render an objective analysis of the situation and attempt to assist in resolution.
Although, not all employee concerns or complaints will be resolved to the employees satisfaction, bringing
reasonable problems, questions or complaints to management is always encouraged.
When the issue personally involves the supervisor or manager with whom the employee ordinarily would discuss a
problem, the employee may bypass that individual and proceed to the next person in authority without fear of
reprisal. At any time, an employee may seek the advice and guidance of the Corporate Office. Difficulties in using
this complaint procedure should be brought to the attention of the Corporate Office.
Although ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD believes that the best method of addressing employee concerns is through
direct employee and management communication, this policy does not prohibit or penalize employees who raise
their concerns through other means, such as discussions with other employees or third parties.
Restroom Usage
When applicable, male employees must use the male restroom and female employees must use the female
restroom. Employees may clean the restroom of the opposite gender if necessary. If the bathroom is a single unit
stall, only one employee is allowed in at a time. Two employees of the opposite gender should never be in the same
restroom together.
Store Keys
Any employee who has possession of a key(s) belonging to Andys Frozen Custard will be responsible for keeping
track of the key(s). If any employee loses or misplaces the key(s) entrusted to them, they must IMMEDIATELY
inform his/her supervisor about the situation. If a current employee loses or misplaces the store key(s) in his/her

security reasons. The cost of doing so, as well as that of the extra keys necessary, will be withheld from that
employees next regularly scheduled paycheck. If a terminating employee does not return all keys in his/her
possession at the time of termination, ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will withhold the cost of having the store re-
keyed and for the cost of all extra keys for the new lock from the employees final paycheck.

ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD does not furnish any insurance for the protection of the employee if any claim or
suit is made against the employee arising out of his or her operation of any vehicle, nor is any insurance provided by
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD, INC. to repair damage that may occur to a vehicle operated by the employee. The
employee is responsible for reimbursing ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD for all claims, losses, damages, and
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD strongly believes that an environment where employees maintain clear boundaries
between employee personal and business interactions is most effective for conducting business. Although this policy
does not prevent the development of friendships or romantic relationships between co-workers, it does establish very
clear boundaries as to how relationships will progress during working hours and within the working environment.
Managers or individuals with other influential roles are subject to more stringent requirements under this policy due
to their status as role models, their access to sensitive information, and their ability to influence others.
During working time and in working areas, employees are expected to keep personal exchanges
limited so that others are not distracted or offended by such exchanges, and so productivity is
maintained.
During non-working time, such as lunches, breaks, and before and after work periods, employees are
allowed to have appropriate personal conversations in non-work areas as long as their conversations
and behaviors could in no way be perceived as offensive or uncomfortable to a reasonable person.
Employees are strictly prohibited from engaging in physical contact that would in any way be deemed
inappropriate by a reasonable person while anywhere on ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD premises,
whether during working hours or not.
Employees who allow personal relationships with co-workers to affect the working environment will
be subject to the appropriate provisions of the company disciplinary policy, which may include
disciplinary action or discharge. Failure to change behavior and maintain expected work
responsibilities is viewed as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action or discharge.
Employee off-duty conduct is generally regarded as private, as long as such conduct does not create
problems within the workplace. An exception to this principle, however, is romantic or sexual
relationships between supervisors and subordinates.
Supervisors, managers, executives, or anyone else in sensitive or influential positions must disclose the
existence of any relationship with another co-worker that has progressed beyond a platonic friendship.
Disclosure should be made to the immediate supervisor or the Corporate Office at hr@eatandys.com.
This disclosure will enable the organization to determine whether any conflict of interest exists
because of the relative positions of the individuals involved.
Where problems or potential risks are identified, the organization will work with the parties involved
to consider options for resolving the problem. The initial solution may be to make sure that the parties
involved no longer work together on matters where one is able to influence the other or take action for
the other. Matters such as hiring, firing, promotions, performance management, compensation
decisions, financial transactions, etc. are examples of situations that may require reallocation of duties
to avoid any actual or perceived reward or disadvantage.
In some cases, other measures may be necessary such as transfer to other positions or departments.
Refusal of reasonable alternative positions, if available, will be deemed a voluntary resignation.
The provisions of this policy apply regardless of the sexual orientation of the parties involved.
Where doubts exist as to the specific meaning of the terms used above, employees should make judgments on
the basis of the overall spirit and intent of this policy. Any employee who feels they have been disadvantaged
as a result of this policy, or believes this policy is not being adhered to, should make their feelings known to the
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD expects every employee to report to work each day that they are scheduled and to
report in a timely manner. Absenteeism and tardiness places a burden on other employees and on ANDYS
FROZEN CUSTARD and prevents us from operating in an efficient and effective manner. If you are unable to
report to work, you must notify your supervisor 3 hours prior to your regular starting time, absent extenuating
circumstances. If you are going to be late to your shift, call the store ASAP or at least 30 minutes in advance to
notify your supervisor. Excessive absenteeism and tardiness will not be tolerated and may be a cause for
disciplinary action.
All employees are required to clock in and out during each shift. Employees are not permitted to clock other
employees in or out. This includes managers clocking in/out their employees as well as employees clocking in his
or her manager. Disciplinary action up to and including termination can occur if this policy is not followed. Do not
give away your time clock user id and password to other employees. Employees who need their timesheet edited
should email his or her store manager/supervisor stating the reason the time edit is needed and what the correct time
should be ASAP. If you are unable to clock in/out, please contact Katie Battalia at katie.battalia@eatandys.com or
at 417-881-3500.
Overtime
Overtime will be paid to non-exempt employees at a rate of one and one-half the employees regular rate of pay for
all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. All overtime work performed by non-exempt workers must be approved
in advance by their supervisor. Failure to obtain supervisory approval will result in disciplinary action. Overtime is
based on hours actually worked. Time off on personal time, holidays, vacation, sick time, or any leave of absence
will not be included when calculating overtime.
Schedules run from Thursday to Wednesday of each week. You may find your schedule information in the store on
Mondays. You must clock in and out for every shift worked. Clock in at the time scheduled, not before. If you
clock in early, it must be approved by a manager. If you leave the premises for any personal reason during your
scheduled shift, you must clock out when leaving and clock back in upon return. Dinner must be eaten between

For the purposes of this policy, the term Health Plan may include many benefits which fall under the COBRA
statute, including but not limited to: coverage under a traditional Major Medical plan, membership in a Health
Maintenance Organization (HMO), Dental coverage, Vision coverage, coverage under a Health Flexible Spending
Account (FSA), or coverage under a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).
In accordance with our insurance contract(s) and plan document(s), employees who are no longer working on a full
time active basis may lose eligibility for coverage under our Health Plan(s) for themselves and their dependents.
When an employee or their dependent loses eligibility under a Health Plan, they may be eligible to continue their
coverage under a Federal law called COBRA. COBRA allows for individuals who would otherwise lose their
coverage to continue their coverage, on a premium paying basis, for a period of 18, 29, or 36 months depending
upon the reason they lost coverage. The events that may cause a loss of coverage are referred to as Qualifying
Events.
ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will provide a general notice of COBRA rights when you first become covered
under a Health Plan. This notice contains important information regarding your rights and responsibilities under
COBRA. It is your responsibility to read this notice. If you have misplaced your general notice and would like a
new copy, please contact the Corporate Office.
In the event that you or your dependents experience a Qualifying Event, ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD will send
you a COBRA election notice, which gives you the opportunity to elect continuation coverage. It is very
important that you respond to these notices promptly as ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD is restricted to a
limited election period in accordance with our insurance contract(s). ANDYS FROZEN CUSTARD cannot
extend the election period for COBRA coverage or the grace period for COBRA payments.
