Code of Conduct
A code of conduct is a set of rules outlining the social norms and religious rules and responsibilities
of, or proper practices for, an individual, party or organization..
Confidentiality
The word “confidentiality” has both casual and legal meanings in the workplace and will have
different meanings throughout your professional career. In some instances, confidentiality refers to
not discussing internal goings-on with co-workers. In other instances, it refers to not sharing trade
secrets and other company information with competitors, the press or anyone outside of your
company.
Conflictof Interest
A conflict of interest is a situation in which a corporation or person with a vested interest in
a company becomes unreliable because of the clash between personal interests and
professional interests. An example of a conflict of interest would be a board member voting
on the induction of lower premiums for companies with fleet vehicles when he is the owner
of a truck company outside of the corporation. In relation to law, representation by a lawyer
or party with a vested interest in the outcome of the trial would be considered a conflict of
interest, and the representation would not be allowed.

Workingconditions
Positive work environments are essential for workers' mental and physical well-being, but they aren't
created by accident. Good working conditions arise from values that the company views as
important to its mission, such as ensuring a manageable workload, and promoting two-way
communication through open office spaces and regular team meetings. Workers are also entitled to
a safe, hazard-free environment, whose requirements are spelled out under the U.S. Occupational
Health and Safety Act of 1970.
Attendance
Employees who show up for work on time more often than not and give proper notice of absences or
tardiness are practicing good attendance. Attendance as a work ethic includes sticking to work
schedules, being ready to start work on time, remaining on the job during the workday to complete
duties and limited use of leave. Attendance can be quantified and verified, and employers keep
employee attendance and leave records. When employers check references, they may ask about
attendance. The most qualified job applicant can lose out because of attendance problems. Poor
attendance says a candidate is insensitive to co-workers, unaccountable for his responsibilities and
uninterested in company success.
Hours of Operations
The standard hours of work for employees are either 8 hours a day (48 hours a week) or 8
hours a day. This is usually worked between 10:00 or 10:30 and 6:00, Sunday to Friday
inclusive. There is a paid 30-minute break in the afternoon

Learning and development
Today’s workforces are designed for speed and flexibility. To achieve these goals, organizations are using
more part-time, project-based freelancers to supplement their internal staff. Our research at the Agile
Talent Collaborative reinforces findings from Accenture and other consulting and research firms: the use
of freelancers — or agile talents as we call them — is growing, and for reasons that go well beyond cost
efficiency. According to executives surveyed by the Collaborative, access to difficult-to-find technical or
functional expertise, speed, flexibility, and innovation are the top five drivers of using talent outside your
organization.
Benefitsand Eligibility
The general rule is that if an employer offers group health coverage to any full-time
employees, the employer must offer coverage to all full-time employees (defined as those
working 48 or more hours per week). The employer also has the option of offering coverage
to part-time employees (defined as those working 20 to 29 hours per week). If the employer
offers coverage to any part-time employees, all of them must be offered coverage. These
rules apply regardless of the medical condition of the employees. In other words, an eligible
employee can’t be denied coverage based on previous medical problems, otherwise known
as pre-existing conditions.
15. 15
Termination(Voluntary and Involuntary)
As an employer you'd rather think about hiring than firing, but sometimes terminations are a
necessary part of business. Create a Termination Letter to explain why you're ending an individual's
employment, and outline other details about the termination. This written record can help protect you
if any questions or legal issues arise regarding the termination.

Workplace Violence
Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other
threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. It ranges from threats and verbal abuse
to physical assaults and even homicide. It can affect and involve employees, clients, customers and
visitors. Homicide is currently the fourth-leading cause of fatal occupational injuries in the United
States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), of
the 4,679 fatal workplace injuries that occurred in the United States in 2014, 403 were workplace
homicides. However it manifests itself, workplace violence is a major concern for employers and
employees nationwide.
