Applies to: All Noel Leeming Team Members

Attendance

You are required to start work on time, to observe the proper times for breaks and to work until the scheduled time to cease work. If you are not able to attend work for any reason, you must make all reasonable effort to advise your manager before your starting time on each workday of absence. Your manager must be advised personally of the reasons for the absence and the expected date of return to work. If your manager is not available then the next person supervising the team needs to be contacted. Absences due to sickness and injury may require presentation of medical certificates.

These circumstances are outlined under the Sick Leave Policy in the Policy & Procedures Manual.

Property

Unauthorised removal, usage, unauthorised wilful movement or unauthorised possession of Company property or the property of other persons is not permitted and will be considered serious misconduct. This includes scraps, waste, damaged goods, or any other items regardless of their value. Please also refer to the Company’s General Security and Loss Prevention policies in the Company Policy & Procedures Manual. Wilful damage or acts of gross negligence or irresponsible behaviour that causes damage to Company  property or the property of other persons will be considered serious misconduct.


Conflict of Interest

You must not allow your personal interests to conflict with those of the Company. Whilst employed by the Company you must not own, operate or otherwise be involved in any business that may compete in any material respect with the Company, except with the prior written consent of the Company. You may undertake secondary employment, provided it does not unreasonably impact on your work performance with the Company. If you believe a conflict may exist you are encouraged to discuss the matter with your manager before any such arrangement is entered into.


Confidentiality

You must not disclose any confidential information (how ever it is stored) or knowledge which you may acquire or have acquired during your employment with the Company  concerning the business affairs, trade secrets, business opportunities, property, price lists, client lists, passwords, customers, clients (including potential clients) or other team

members of the Company and any third party without the Company’s express agreement or authority. The above restrictions apply both during employment and after termination.
However, such restrictions will not apply to confidential information which may become publicly known without you breaching these provisions.

Intellectual Property

All copyrights, inventions, patents, trademarks, concepts or other processes or products developed or created in whole or in part by you arising from or in connection with your employment with the Company, shall be the absolute property of the Company unless formally declared otherwise in writing by the Company. These intellectual property provisions, and the your obligations regarding intellectual property, apply both during and after the employment relationship.


Media Statements

Statements to media representatives in respect of the Company's business are prohibited unless authorised by the Chief Executive Officer.


Gifts & Gratuities

You must not demand, claim or accept any fee, gratuity, commission or benefit from any person or organisation, other than the Company, in payment for any matter or thing concerned with your duties, except with the prior written consent of the Company.


Harassment

The Company is committed to providing a work environment that is safe and healthy for all of us; this means one that is free from any form of harassment. All team members, suppliers and customers have a right to be treated with equal value, fairness and decency. Examples of harassment include but are not limited to: Sexual, Racial or Religious. Harassment is physical, verbal or visual conduct that is unwelcome, uninvited and unwarranted or offensive behaviour that offends, humiliates or intimidates another person. Harassment of any form is not permitted and is considered serious misconduct.


Vehicles

To be authorised to drive a Company motor vehicle you must have a current Full New Zealand driver’s licence for the appropriate class of motor vehicle. All traffic and

parking fines are your responsibility, and unauthorised use or irresponsible use of a Company vehicle is not permitted. If your duties require the driving of a motor vehicle, your employment may be terminated in the event of conviction of a driving offence resulting in loss of licence.
For further details refer to the Company’s vehicle policies in the Company Policy & Procedures Manual.

Personal Information

In the event that you provide incorrect, misleading or false information to the Company on your application for employment or within documents in support of the application, at an interview, or at any time during your employment, this will be considered serious misconduct and grounds for summary dismissal.
