Cell Phone Safety and Driving

Under no circumstances should you feel that you need to place yourself or others at risk while driving to fulfill business needs. Never allow a cell phone or other mobile device to distract you from concentrating on driving. You should follow these procedures to avoid distracted driving:

• Follow all applicable state and local laws that address the use of cell phones and other mobile devices while driving.

• Avoid using your cell phone while driving, and do not use it as a hand-held device. Find a safe place to pull over to make or receive phone calls, send or receive text messages, or manipulate navigation apps.

• Program your destination into navigation apps or GPS devices before you start driving.

• Do not read or respond to text messages or e-mail or browse social media or the Internet while driving.

• Be aware of distractions from in-car “infotainment” systems.

Employees who fail to follow safety guidelines are subject to discipline.

Non-solicitation

Employees should be able to work in an environment that is free from unnecessary annoyances and interference with their work. In order to protect our employees and visitors, solicitation by employees is strictly prohibited outside of the designated venues such as the #random Slack channel. Employee solicitation means the sale or offer for sale of any property or service, whether for immediate or future delivery, and the receipt of or request for any gift or contribution by an employee or employee organization.

Nothing in this policy is meant to, nor should it be interpreted to, in any way limit your rights under any applicable federal, state, or local laws, including your rights under the NLRA to engage in protected concerted activities with other employees to improve or discuss terms and conditions of employment, such as wages, working conditions, and benefits. Employees have the right to engage in or refrain from such activities.
