Some offenses may not be serious enough to result in immediate termination but may warrant

repeated, or intensified as needed in relation to the severity or misconduct and/or multiple or
combination of incidents involved.

policy.

NON-DISCRIMINATION & ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. 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 discriminatory practices, including
harassment. Therefore Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. expects that all relationships among
persons in the workplace will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice and harassment. Danny
Boys Pizza & More, Inc. prohibits and will not tolerate any such discrimination or
harassment.
Definitions of Harassment
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, but are not limited to: unwanted sexual advances or requests for sexual favors;
sexual jokes and innuendo; verbal abuse of a sexual nature; commentary about an individuals
body, sexual prowess or sexual deficiencies; leering, catcalls or touching; insulting or obscene
comments or gestures; display or circulation in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or
pictures (including through e-mail); and other physical (touching, unwelcome hugging or
kissing, pinching, brushing the body, coerced sexual intercourse, or actual assault), verbal or
visual conduct of a sexual nature. Some sexual harassment is subtle, such as the use of
endearments such as honey, darling, and sweetheart and is objectionable to many
women who believe that these terms undermine their authority and their ability to deal with
men on an equal and professional level. Sex-based harassment, that is, harassment not
involving sexual activity or language (e.g., male manager yells only at female employees and
not males) may also constitute discrimination if it is severe or pervasive and directed at
employees because of their sex.
12
of unreasonably interfering with an individuals work performance; or (iii) otherwise
adversely affects an individuals employment opportunities.
Harassing conduct includes, but is not limited to: epithets, slurs or negative stereotyping;
threatening, intimidating or hostile acts; denigrating jokes and display or circulation in the
workplace of written or graphic material that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward
an individual or group (including through e-mail).
These policies apply to all applicants and employees, and prohibit harassment, discrimination
and retaliation whether engaged in by fellow employees, by a supervisor or manager or by
someone not directly connected to Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. (e.g., an outside vendor,
consultant or customer).
Retaliation Is Prohibited
Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. prohibits retaliation against any individual who reports
discrimination or harassment or participates in an investigation of such reports. Retaliation
against an individual for reporting harassment or discrimination or for participating in an
investigation of a claim or harassment or discrimination is a serious violation of this policy
and, like harassment or discrimination itself, will be subject to disciplinary action.
Complaint Procedure
Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. strongly urges the reporting of all incidents of
discrimination, harassment or retaliation, regardless of the offenders identity or position.
Individuals who believe they have experienced conduct that they believe is contrary to the
Companys policy or who have concerns about such matters should file their complaints with
their Shift Manager, or Supervisor. If the employee believes it would be inappropriate to
contact these individuals, the employee should immediately contact the HR Manager,
President or Secretary before the conduct becomes severe or pervasive. Individuals should not
feel obligated to file their complaints with their immediate supervisor first before bringing the
matter to the attention of one of the other Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. designated
representatives identified above.
Important Notice to All Employees: Employees who have experienced conduct they
believe is contrary to this policy have an obligation to take advantage of the complaint
procedure. An employees failure to fulfill this obligation could affect his or her rights in
pursuing legal action. Also, please note, federal, state and local discrimination laws
establish specific time frames for initiating a legal proceeding pursuant to those laws.
13
Early reporting and intervention have proven to be the most effective method of resolving
actual or perceived incidents of harassment. Therefore, Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc.,
strongly urges the prompt reporting of complaints or concerns so that rapid and constructive
action can be taken. Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. will make every effort to stop alleged
harassment before it becomes severe or pervasive, but can only do so with the cooperation of
its staff and employees.
The availability of this complaint procedure does not preclude individuals who believe they
are being subjected to harassing conduct from promptly advising the offender that his or her
behavior is unwelcome and requesting that it be discontinued.
The Investigation
Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigatory process to the extent consistent
with adequate investigation and appropriate corrective action.
Responsive Action
If an employee making a complaint does not agree with its resolution, the employee may
appeal to the Companys President or Secretary.
Individuals who have questions or concerns about these policies should talk to the Human
Resources Manager.
Finally, these policies should not, and may not, be used as a basis for excluding or separating
individuals of a particular gender, or any other protected characteristic, from participating in
business or work-related social activities or discussion in order to avoid allegations of
harassment. The law and the policies of Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. prohibit disparate
treatment on the basis of sex or any other protected characteristic, with regard to terms,
conditions, privileges and prerequisites of employment. The prohibitions against harassment,
discrimination and retaliation are intended to complement and further these policies, not to
form the basis of an exception to them.
14
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT POLICY
Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. is committed to complying with all applicable provisions of
the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. will not
discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant with respect to any terms, privileges,
or conditions of employment because of a persons physical or mental disability or perceived
disability or a persons disease such as AIDS or AIDS-related virus, or other life-threatening
illnesses or diseases so long as the employee can perform the essential functions of the job.
Consistent with this policy of nondiscrimination, the Company will provide reasonable
accommodations to a qualified individual with a disability, as defined by the ADA, who has
made the Company aware of his or her disability, provided that such accommodation does not
constitute an undue hardship on the Company.
Employees with a disability who believe they need a reasonable accommodation to perform
the essential functions of the job should contact the Shift Manager, or Supervisor, or President.
Danny Boys Pizza & More, Inc. encourages individuals with disabilities to come forward and
request reasonable accommodation.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Call 911, the emergency phone number, if required. If a minor injury occurs while you are on
the job, the first aid kit is located near the sink in the kitchen. If the injury is serious, someone
will take you to the hospital emergency room.
If an accident or illness should occur, no matter how slight, notify your shift Supervisor
immediately so that appropriate medical treatment may be administered. The transfer of any
body fluid (blood, saliva, urine, etc.) may pass on AIDS or other viruses. Please use extreme
caution to avoid contact with these body fluids. The first aid kit contains plastic gloves.
Please be sure to use them. Use a strong disinfectant, such as Lysol or liquid bleach, to clean
up afterwards.
On the job injuries will be handled in accordance with the Workers Compensation laws. Any
employee who is injured while on the job must notify the HR Department immediately to be
eligible for coverage provided under the Workers Compensation Act. As part of our
Substance Abuse Policy, you may also be required to submit to drug testing if you are injured
on the job.
