DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

No Boundaries Marketing Group, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO) and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any kind. Our owners, leadership, management, and staff are 100% committed to the belief all employees deserve an equal employment opportunity and to a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.

No Boundaries Marketing Group complies with applicable federal, state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.

ANTI- HARRASSMENT POLICY

No Boundaries Marketing Group is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, it is expected that all relationships among persons in the office will be business-likeand free of bias, prejudice and harassment.

DEFINITIONS OF HARRASSMENT

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Sexual harassment constitutes discrimination and is illegal under federal, state and local laws. For the purposes of this policy, sexual harassment is defined, as in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Guidelines, as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when, for example

  1. submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment.
  2. submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or
  3. such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.

Sexual harassment may include a range of subtle and not-so-subtle behaviors and may involve individuals of the same or different gender. Depending on the circumstances, these behaviors may include unwanted sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; sexual jokes and innuendo; verbal abuse of a sexual nature; commentary about an individual’s body, sexual prowess or sexual deficiencies; leering, whistling or touching; insulting or obscene comments or gestures; display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or pictures; and other physical, verbal or visual conduct of a sexual nature.

Harassment on the basis of any other protected characteristic is also strictly prohibited. Under this policy, harassment is verbal, written or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual because of his/her race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by law or that of his/her relatives, friends or associates, and that a) has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment; b) has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance; or c) otherwise adversely affects an individual’s employment opportunities.

Harassing conduct includes epithets, slurs or negative stereotyping; threatening, intimidating or hostile acts; denigrating jokes; and written or graphic material that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual or group and that is placed on walls or elsewhere on the employer’s premises or circulated in the workplace, on company time or using company equipment via e-mail, phone (including voice messages), text messages, tweets, blogs, social networking sites or other means.

WORKPLACE BULLYING

No Boundaries Marketing Group defines bullying as “repeated inappropriate behavior, either direct or indirect, whether verbal, physical or otherwise, conducted by one or more persons against another or others, at the place of work and/or in the course of employment.” Such behavior violates the Company’s Business Ethics and Conduct policy, which states that all employees will be treated with dignity and respect.

The purpose of this policy is to communicate to all employees, supervisors, executives, and board directors that the Company will not tolerate bullying behavior.

Bullying may be intentional or unintentional. However, it must be noted that where an allegation of bullying is made, the intention of the alleged bully is irrelevant and will not be given consideration when meting out discipline. As in sexual harassment, it is the effect of the behavior upon the individual that is important. No Boundaries Marketing Group considers the following types of behavior examples of bullying:

Verbal Bullying: Slandering, ridiculing or maligning a person or his/her family; persistent name calling that is hurtful, insulting or humiliating; using a person as the butt of jokes; abusive and offensive remarks.

Physical Bullying: Pushing, shoving, kicking, poking, tripping, assault or threat of physical assault; damage to a person’s work area or property.

Gesture Bullying: Nonverbal threatening gestures or glances that convey threatening messages.

Exclusion: Socially or physically excluding or disregarding a person in work-related activities.

Individuals who believe they have been the victims of workplace bullying conduct should contact their immediate supervisor or member of the management team at their earliest opportunity.

INDIVIDUALS AND CONDUCT COVERED

These policies apply to all applicants and employees, whether related to conduct engaged in by fellow employees or someone not directly connected to the No Boundaries Marketing Group (e.g., an outside vendor, consultant or client). Conduct prohibited by these policies is unacceptable in the workplace and in any work-related setting outside the workplace, such as during business trips, business meetings and business-related social events.

HARRASSMENT REPORTING POLICY

Individuals who believe they have been the victims of conduct prohibited by this policy statement or who believe they have witnessed such conduct should discuss their concerns with their immediate supervisor or member of the management team.

When possible, the Company encourages individuals who believe they are being subjected to such conduct to promptly advise the offender that his or her behavior is unwelcome and request that it be discontinued. Often this action alone will resolve the problem. The Company recognizes, however, that an individual may prefer to pursue the matter through a formal complaint procedure.

The Company encourages prompt reporting of complaints or concerns so that rapid and constructive action can be taken before relationships become irreparably strained. Therefore, although no fixed reporting period has been established, early reporting and intervention have proven to be the most effective method of resolving actual or perceived incidents of harassment.

Any reported allegations of harassment, discrimination or retaliation will be investigated promptly. The investigation may include individual interviews with the parties involved and, where necessary, with individuals who may have observed the alleged conduct or may have other relevant knowledge. Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigatory process to the extent consistent with adequate investigation and appropriate corrective action.

Retaliation against an individual for reporting harassment or discrimination or for participating in an investigation of a claim of harassment or discrimination is a serious violation of this policy and, like harassment or discrimination itself, will be subject to disciplinary action. Acts of retaliation should be reported immediately and will be promptly investigated and addressed. Misconduct constituting harassment, discrimination or retaliation will be dealt with appropriately.

If a party to a complaint does not agree with its resolution, that party may appeal to the CEO directly or another member of the management team.

False and malicious complaints of harassment, discrimination or retaliation may be the subject of appropriate disciplinary action.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act, known as the ADAAA, are federal laws that prohibit employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating against applicants and individuals with disabilities and that, when needed, provide reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees who are qualified for a job so that they may perform the essential job duties of the position. It is the policy of No Boundaries Marketing Group to comply with all federal, state and local laws concerning the employment of persons with disabilities and to act in accordance with regulations and guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Furthermore, it is our policy not to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in regard to application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation, training or other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. Contact a member of the management team with any questions or requests for accommodation

MATERNITY POLICY

No Boundaries Marketing Group is firmly committed to protecting the rights of expectant and new mothers and complying with Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. The Company’s policy is to treat women affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions in the same manner as other employees unable to work because of their physical condition in all employment aspects, including recruitment, hiring, training, promotion and benefits.

Further, the Company fully recognizes eligible employees’ rights and responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Pregnant employees may continue to work until they are certified as unable to work by their physician. When the employee returns to work, the Company’s Lactation Policy will provide reasonable break times and when possible, a designated private break room for the expression of breast milk for an employee’s baby. Additional details are mentioned in the ‘Time Off/Leaves of Absence’ section of this Guide.

EMPLOYMENT POLICY

Employee Classification Categories

All employees are designated as either non-exempt or exempt under state and federal wage and hour laws. The following is intended to help employees understand employment classifications and employees’ employment status and benefit eligibility. These classifications do not guarantee employment for any specified period of time. The right to terminate the employment-at-will relationship at any time is retained by both the employee and the Company.

Non-exempt employees are employees whose work is covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). They are NOT exempt from the law’s requirements concerning minimum wage and overtime.

Exempt employees are generally immediate supervisors or professional, administrative, or technical staff who ARE exempt from the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the FLSA. Exempt employees hold jobs that meet the standards and criteria established under the FLSA by the U.S. Department of Labor.

No Boundaries Marketing Group has established the following categories for both non-exempt and exempt employees:

Regular, full time: Employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work the company’s full-time schedule of forty (40) hours per week.

Regular, part time: Employees who are not in a temporary status and who are regularly scheduled to work less than the full-time schedule but at least 20 hours each week. Regular, part-time employees are eligible for some of the benefits offered by the company subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of each benefits program.

Temporary, full time: Employees who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily supplement the workforce or to assist in the completion of a specific project and who are temporarily scheduled to work the company’s full-time schedule for a limited duration.Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status.

Temporary, part time: Employees who are hired as interim replacements to temporarily supplement the workforce or to assist in the completion of a specific project and who are temporarily scheduled to workless than the company’s full-time schedule for a limited duration. Employment beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in employment status.

Temporary workers are not eligible for company benefits unless specifically stated otherwise in company policy or are deemed eligible according to plan documents.

Contractor: An independent contractor is a natural person that provides goods or services to the Company under terms specified in a contract or within a verbal agreement. The Company shall not be responsible for withholding taxes with respect to compensation. The Company will provide compensation for products or services provided based on the terms and conditions outlined in their Independent Contractor Agreement. Contractors may be eligible to receive benefits including vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, and/or other employee benefits. Contractors are not eligible to receive social security, worker’s compensation, or unemployment insurance benefits.

NEPOTISM, EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

No Boundaries Marketing Group wants to ensure that corporate practices do not create situations such as conflict of interest orfavoritism. This extends to practices that involve employee or contractor hiring, promotion, and transfer. Close relatives,partners, those in a dating relationship, or members of the same household are not permitted to be inpositions that have a reporting responsibility to each other. Close relatives are defined as husband, wife, domestic partner, father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in law, grandfather, grandmother, son, son-in-law, daughter, daughter-in law, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, steprelatives, cousins, and domestic partner relatives.

If employees begin a dating relationship or become relatives, partners or members of the same householdand if one party is in an immediate supervisory position, that person is required to inform their immediatesupervisor of the relationship.

The Company reserves the right to apply this policy to situations where there is a conflict or thepotentialfor conflict because of the relationship between employees or contractors, even if there is no direct-reporting relationshipor authority involved.

EMPLOYEE SUGGESTIONS

Employees and contractors also have the responsibility to perform his/her duties to the best of his/her ability and to the standards as set forth in his/her job description or as otherwise established.

The Company reserves the right to determine the appropriate level of discipline for any inappropriate conduct, including oral and written warnings, suspension with or without pay, demotion, and discharge. Discipline is not required to be progressive.

OTHER RULES OF CONDUCT

As an employee or contractor, you are expected to use sound judgment and respect the rights of fellow employees to a safe, comfortable, and congenial work environment. It is impossible to make a comprehensive list of all of the kinds of conduct that could be considered inappropriate. Examples of some of the general types of conduct that cannot be allowed are:

SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Separation of employment within an organization can occur for several different reasons.

Resignation: Although we hope your employment with us will be a mutually rewarding experience, we understand that varying circumstances cause employees to voluntarily resign employment. Resigning employees are encouraged to provide two weeks’ notice, in writing, to facilitate a smooth transition out of the organization. An immediate supervisor reserves the right to provide an employee with two weeks’ paying lieu of notice in situations where job or business needs warrant such action. If an employee provides less notice than requested, the Company may deem the individual to be ineligible for rehire depending on the circumstances regarding the notice given.

Job abandonment: Employees who fail to report to work or contact their immediate supervisor for two (2) consecutive workdays shall be considered to have abandoned the job without notice, effective at the endof their normal shift on the second day. The employee’s immediate supervisor shall notify a member of the Chief Operations Officer at theexpiration of the second workday and initiate the paperwork to terminate the employee. Employees who areseparated due to job abandonment are ineligible to receive accrued benefits and are ineligible for rehire.

Termination: Employeesand Contractors of the Company are employed on an at-will basis, and the company retains theright to terminate an employee or contractor at any time, for any reason.

The separating employee and contractors shall contact their immediate supervisor or member of the management team as soon as notice is given to schedule an exitinterview. The interview will be on the employee’s last day of work or another day, as mutually agreed on.

PTO benefits cannot be used during the notice period unless your immediate supervisor approved anexception. Accrued and unused paid time off will be dispersed in the last paycheck unless the employeeresigned and did not give and work a full two weeks’ notice.

If the employeewas receiving benefits, health insurance benefits terminate the last day of the month of employment; supplemental benefits such aslife/AD&D and disability end on the last day of employment. Information for Consolidated OmnibusBudget Reconciliation (COBRA) continued health coverage will be provided.

If your employment is terminated, you will receive your final paycheck within seven working days or yournext scheduled payday, whichever is sooner. In the event that you resign or retire, you will receive yourfinal paycheck on the next scheduled payday after your separation from the Company.

RETURN OF COMPANY PROPERTY

The separating employee or contractor must return all company property at the time of separation, including keys,laptops, phones, and workstation equipment. Failure to return items may result in deductions from the finalpaycheck.

REHIRE

Former employees or contractors who left the Company in good standing and were classified as eligible for rehire may beconsidered for reemployment. An application must be submitted to the President and CEO, and theapplicant must meet all minimum qualifications and requirements of the position.

Rehired employees begin benefits just as any other new employee. Previous tenure will not be consideredin calculating longevity, leave accruals or any other benefits unless approved as an exception. An applicant or employee who is terminatedfor violating policy or who resigned in lieu of termination from employment due to a policy violation willbe ineligible for rehire.

TELECOMMUTING

No Boundaries Marketing Group may allow select employees or contractors the option to telecommute or work from home as a benefit of employment. Telecommuting allows employees and contractors to work at home, on the road or in a satellite location for all or part of their workweek. No Boundaries Marketing Groupconsiders telecommuting to be a viable, flexible work option when both the employee/contractor and the job are suited to such an arrangement. Telecommuting may be appropriate for some employees/contractors and jobs but not for others. Telecommuting is not an entitlement, it is not a companywide benefit, and it in no way changes the terms and conditions of employment or employment policies with No Boundaries Marketing Group.

PROCEDURES

Telecommuting can be informal, such as working from home for a short-term project or on the road during business travel, or a formal, set schedule of working away from the office as described below. Either an employee/contractor or a supervisor can suggest telecommuting as a possible work arrangement.

Any telecommuting arrangement made will be on a trial basis for the 30 days and may be discontinued at will and at any time at the request of either the employee/contractor, supervisor, or member of the management team. Every effort will be made to provide 15 days’ notice of such change to accommodate commuting, childcare and other issues that may arise from the termination of a telecommuting arrangement. There may be instances, however, when no notice is possible.

ELIGIBILITY

Individuals requesting formal telecommuting arrangements must be employed with No Boundaries Marketing Groupfor a minimum of 6 months of continuous, regular employment and must have a satisfactory performance record. Exceptions may be made based on job requirements or the actual position.

Before entering into any telecommuting agreement, the employee/contractor and supervisor will evaluate the suitability of such an arrangement, reviewing the following areas:

  • The employee/contractor and supervisor will assess the needs and work habits of the employee, compared to traits customarily recognized as appropriate for successful telecommuters.
  • Job Responsibilities. The employee and supervisor will discuss the job responsibilities and determine if the job is appropriate for a telecommuting arrangement.
  • Equipment needs, workspace design considerations and scheduling issues. The employee/contractor and supervisor will review the physical workspace needs and the appropriate location for the telework.
  • Tax and other legal implications. The employee/contractor must determine any tax or legal implications under IRS, state and local government laws, and/or restrictions of working out of a home-based office. Responsibility for fulfilling all obligations in this area rests solely with the employee or contractor.

Evaluation of telecommuter performance during the trial period will include regular interaction by phone, e-mail, or virtual conference between the employee/contractor and the supervisor, and weekly face-to-face meetings to discuss work progress and problems. At the end of the trial period, the employee/contractor and supervisor will each complete an evaluation of the arrangement and make recommendations for continuance or modifications. Evaluation of telecommuter performance beyond the trial period will be consistent with that received by employees/contractors working at the office in both content and frequency but will focus on work output and completion of objectives rather than on time-based performance.

An appropriate level of communication between the telecommuter and supervisor will be agreed to as part of the discussion process and will be more formal during the trial period. After conclusion of the trial period, the supervisor and telecommuter will communicate at a level consistent with employees working at the office or in a manner and frequency that is appropriate for the job and the individuals involved.

EQUIPMENT

On a case-by-case basis, No Boundaries Marketing Groupwill determine, with information supplied by the employee/contractor and the supervisor, the appropriate equipment needs (including hardware, software, modems, phone and data lines and other office equipment) for each telecommuting arrangement. Equipment supplied by the Company will be maintained by the organization. Equipment supplied by the employee/contractor, if deemed appropriate by the Company, will be maintained by the employee/contractor. No Boundaries Marketing Group accepts no responsibility for damage or repairs to employee/contractor-owned equipment. No Boundaries Marketing Groupreserves the right to make determinations as to appropriate equipment, subject to change at any time. Equipment supplied by the Company is to be used for business purposes only. The telecommuter must sign an inventory of all No Boundaries Marketing Groupproperty received and agree to take appropriate action to protect the items from damage or theft. Upon termination of employment, all company property will be returned to the company, unless other arrangements have been made.

No Boundaries Marketing Group will supply the employee/contractor with appropriate office supplies (pens, paper, etc.) as deemed necessary. No Boundaries Marketing Groupwill also reimburse the employee for business-related expenses that are reasonably incurred in carrying out the employee’s job. All expenses should be pre-approved in advance when possible. Employees must authorize purchases over $150 in advance.

The employee will establish an appropriate work environment within his or her home for work purposes. No Boundaries Marketing Groupwill not be responsible for costs associated with the setup of the employee’s home office, such as remodeling, furniture or lighting, nor for repairs or modifications to the home office space.

SECURITY

Consistent with the Company’s expectations of information security for employees and contractors working at the office, telecommuting employees and contractors will be expected to ensure the protection of proprietary company and customer information accessible from their home office. Steps include the use of locked file cabinets and desks, regular password maintenance, and any other measures appropriate for the job and the environment.

SAFETY

Employees and contractors are expected to maintain their home workspace in a safe manner, free from safety hazards. Injuries sustained by an employee in a home office location and in conjunction with his or her regular work duties may be covered by the company’s workers’ compensation policy. Telecommuting employees are responsible for notifying the employer of such injuries as soon as practicable. The employee is liable for any injuries sustained by visitors to his or her home worksite. Contractors are not eligible for workers’ compensation insurance.

Telecommuting is not designed to be a replacement for appropriate childcare or adult daycare. Although an individual employee’s schedule may be modified to accommodate childcare or adult daycare needs, the focus of the arrangement must remain on job performance and meeting business demands. Prospective telecommuters are encouraged to discuss expectations of telecommuting with family members prior to entering a trial period and on a regular basis should the Company extend the agreement.

TIME WORKED

Telecommuting employees who are not exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act will be required to accurately record all hours worked using No Boundaries Marketing Group’s time-keeping system. Hours worked in excess of those scheduled per day and per workweek require the advance approval of the employee’s or contractor’s supervisor. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the immediate termination of the telecommuting agreement. Contractors are not eligible for overtime pay.

AD HOC ARRANGEMENTS

Temporary telecommuting arrangements may be approved for circumstances such as inclement weather, special projects or business travel. These arrangements are approved on an as-needed basis only, with no expectation of ongoing continuance.

Other informal, short-term arrangements may be made for employees on family or medical leave to the extent practical for the employee and the organization and with the consent of the employee’s health care provider, if appropriate.

All informal telecommuting arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, focusing first on the business needs of the organization.
