It is the policy of SDSC to provide equal opportunity in employment to qualified individuals regardless of race, color, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, or any other legally protected class in accordance with all applicable laws. This commitment extends to all employment decisions, including, but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, promotion, training, compensation, discipline and discharge, and to all terms, benefits, privileges and conditions of employment. Discrimination in violation of this policy is prohibited and will not be tolerated.

Moonlighting Second jobs or other outside employment, such as freelance employment, consulting, or sales (such as Avon, Tupperware, etc.) is not prohibited by the company or its subsidiaries, but it is regulated. Outside employment must not be engaged in during the employee’s regularly scheduled working hours. The use of the company’s supplies, equipment, telephone, materials, and personnel is prohibited. Outside employment must not cause a conflict of interest or deterioration in satisfactory performance while in our employ. Supervisors must communicate the policy and ensure adequate job performance by taking the appropriate action, which could involve terminating or disciplining an employee. Employees are responsible for their performance, and if it is adversely affected by their second job, they must decide whether it is necessary to terminate, or cut back the hours of, the second job.

Open Door Policy
We all recognize that the accumulation of unspoken, unanswered problems, complaints and questions can result in dissatisfaction and can impact the working relationship. It is to everyone’s advantage to bring these matters out in the open. If you have a problem or complaint, please review it with your supervisor as soon as possible. We are not implying that we will agree with your position. However, we will listen to you, and hope that in most instances, we will be able to resolve the matter or reach a compromise acceptable to the people concerned.

Overtime
It may be necessary at times to ask you to work beyond your regularly scheduled hours. If there is sufficient backlog of orders, we use overtime to meet our customers’ demands. Whether there is need for overtime work is determined by the department supervisor, manufacturing manager and the vice president. Overtime will be paid at the rate of time . With the exception of holiday pay, hours paid but not worked, such as personal time, jury duty, bereavement pay, etc., will not be considered time worked for the basis of computing overtime. We will make every effort to distribute overtime fairly and equitably. The selection of who is to work is based primarily on the job experience and ability to handle the work that needs to be done, and on seniority, one’s productivity and job performance. There is no guarantee of overtime work, and you are cautioned to not become financially dependent upon it. Anyone working unauthorized overtime will be subject to discipline.
