AtWork Employment Policies
back to the top ALCOHOL AND DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY
Substance abuse has an adverse impact on any employee's work, personal and family life, as well as on the ability of @WORK to fulfill its mission to provide the highest quality services to its clients. Substance abuse can cause poor performance, decrease productivity, and create safety hazards. Consequently, @WORK is committed to establishing and maintaining an alcohol and drug-free workplace.

Illegal Drugs: The use, distribution, sales, offering for sale, possession, purchase, manufacture, or trading of illegal drugs on @WORK's premises, or in any other work-related environment is strictly prohibited. The prohibition of illegal drug activity includes occasions when an employee is representing @WORK on one of @WORK's client's premises or events/meetings beyond normal work hours.

Alcohol: Employees are not permitted to consume alcohol while on @WORK's premises, client's premises, or while conducting @WORK's company business. This does not include official day or evening functions at which alcohol may be served, as long as use does not prevent employees from performing their jobs satisfactorily or pose any threat to the safety or welfare of the employee or others.

Prescription and OTC Drugs: Employees are prohibited from the misuse or abuse of prescription and over-the-counter ("OTC") drugs. Employees who are using prescribed or OTC drugs for existing medical conditions must inform their Manager or the Franchise Owner of such health treatment to discuss the necessity of temporary alteration of job duties or assignment if the drugs (1) may have possible side effects which may affect job performance, or (2) alter an employee's physical or mental abilities.

Policy Violations: Employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

This policy governs all areas of employment with any @WORK Franchise or entity, including, but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, training, assignments, promotions, compensation, benefits, discipline and terminations.
In addition, @WORK does not discriminate against or provide any preference for any employee or applicant in work assignments, does not invite or honor discriminatory job orders or requests by clients, and does not "code" applications or documents to record the status of any applicant or employee.
We support all employment laws regarding equal opportunity, discrimination, and affirmative action. We also support the code of ethics of the "California Staffing Professionals" (CSP) and the "American Staffing Association" (ASA) in regard to equal opportunity employment and all other policies.
We require our Franchises and all staff members to adhere to this same code of ethics and that all employees operate within the guidelines of State and Federal laws.

HARASSMENT, PROHIBITION OF POLICY
It is the policy of Atwork Franchise, Inc., and @WORK PERSONNEL SERVICES, that all employment relationships shall be conducted in an environment that is not hostile or offensive. Harassment based on an individual's age, race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or marital status, or any other basis prohibited by applicable local, state, or federal law will not be tolerated at any @WORK location. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
Verbal harassment, such as making a joke or comment that refers to certain ethnic group, race, sex, nationality, age, disability, sexual preference, religion or belief, epithets, derogatory comments, vulgar or profane words and expressions, or slurs:
Physical harassment, such as assault and blocking, impairing or otherwise physically interfering with an individual's normal work or movement;

If the complaint involves your immediate supervisor or placement counselor or if you feel uncomfortable discussing the matter with your supervisor or placement counselor, report the matter to the Franchise Owner.

STATEMENT OF SAFETY POLICY
The goal of @WORK PERSONNEL SERVICES is to offer our employees and clients the best employment solutions. To do that, we must provide and ensure the highest level of safety, quality, and service. Our methods must exemplify the best service to our clients and employees.

We believe that all accidents can be prevented. We believe that safety is not separate from the job; it is how we do our job. Accidents are a waste of human potential and a source of pain and economic hardship for the injured worker and his/her family. Accidents also lower the quality of the service we provide to our clients. Accidents disrupt business and increase costs.
In the personnel industry, it is essential that we work together with our clients and employees to build and maintain a safe and health work environment. We do not have economic control of our clients' facilities, so it is important that we have a consultative relationship with our clients to assist in maintaining a safe work environment. Furthermore, by having a safety partnership with our clients, we will aid in maintaining an active and effective accident/loss control program together. It is @WORK's policy to only provide services to clients who express a willingness to provide a safe working environment for our employees. It is also @WORK's policy to only employ individuals who are safety conscious, follow all safety policies, and exhibit safe and responsible work habits. @WORK will not provide employees to work for companies who are involved with high-risk industries, have a high accident rate, or who exhibit a disregard for the safety and well-being of all employees.
