Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. 1.3 PERSONAL APPEARANCE Dress, grooming, and personal cleanliness standards contribute to the morale of all the employees and affect the business image SPL present to customers and visitors. During business hours or when representing SPL, you are expected to present a clean, neat and tasteful appearance. You should dress and groom yourself accordingly to the requirements of your position and accepted social standards. This is particularly true if your job involves dealing with customers or visitors in person. Your reporting officer or head of the department is responsible for establishing proper dress code. Consult your Head of the Department or Reporting Officer if you have any question as to what constitutes appropriate appearance. Where necessary, reasonable preference may be made to a person with a disability without unduly restricting individual tastes, the following personal appearance guidelines should be followed. Blue Jeans, Bermudas, T-shirt, and shorts do not present appropriate professional attire.

Employees or associated members must return all SPL property immediately upon termination of employment. Where permitted by applicable law, SPL may with hold from the employees or associated members cheque or final pay cheque the cost of any items that are not returned when required. SPL may also take all action deemed appropriate to recover or protect its property. 1.5 RESIGNATION Resignation is a voluntary act initiated by the employee to terminate employment with SPL, SPL request at least a month written notice of resignation from employees. Prior to an employees departure, an exit interview may be scheduled to discuss the reasons for resignation and the effect of the resignation on benefits. SECURITY INSPECTION SPL wishes to maintain a work environment that is free of illegal or improper materials. To this end, SPL prohibits the possession, transfer, sale or use of such material on its premises. SPL requires the co-operation of all employees in administering this policy. Desks, lockers, and other

1.6

storage devices may be provided for the convenience of employees but remains the sole property of SPL. Accordingly, they, as well as any articles found with in them, can be inspected by any agent or representative of SPL at any time, either with or without prior notice. 1.7 PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE The purpose of this policy is to state SPL position on administering equitable and consistent discipline for unsatisfactory conduct in the workplace. The best disciplinary measure is the one that does not have to be enforced comes from good leadership and fair supervision at all employment levels. SPL own best interest lies in ensuring fair treatment of all employees and in making certain that disciplinary actions are prompt, uniform, and impartial. The major purpose of any disciplinary action is to correct the problem, prevent recurrence, and prepare the employee for satisfactory service in the future. Although employment with SPL is based on mutual consent and both the employee and SPL have the right to terminate employment at will, with or without cause or advance notice, SPL may use progressive discipline at its discretion. Disciplinary action may call for any of four steps: verbal warning, written warning, suspension with or without pay, or termination of employment- depending on the severity of the problem and the number of occurrences. There may be circumstances when one or more steps are by passed. Progressive discipline means that, with respect to most disciplinary problems, these steps will normally be followed: a first offense may call for a verbal warning; a next offense may be followed by a written warning; another offense may lead to a suspension; and, still another offense may then lead to termination of employment. SPL recognize that there are certain types of employee problems that are serious enough to justify either a suspension, or, in extreme situations, termination of employment without going through the usual progressive discipline steps. While it is impossible to list every type of behavior that may be deemed a serious offense, the employee conduct and work rule policy includes examples of problems that may result in immediate suspension or termination of employment. However, the problem listed is not all necessarily serious offenses, but may be example of unsatisfactory conduct that will trigger progressive discipline. By using progressive discipline, we hope that most employees problems can be corrected at an early stage, benefiting both employee and SPL.
