SCOPE Discipline" refers to any action initiated by the Company to regulate employee conduct within the work environment specifically for the purpose of ensuring safety and maximizing job efficiency and job productivity. Such action could include verbal warning, suspension or even termination, depending on the severity of individual employee behavior. The primary objective of any disciplinary action is to prevent the problem from occurring again and to also let the employee involved know that a change in conduct or performance is required. This policy covers all Company employees. RESPONSIBILITY All employees are expected to adhere to prescribed work rules and perform work in an efficient, safe, productive manner during work hours. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees are made aware of job responsibilities, as well as appropriate work rules.

In general, a system of progressive discipline will be used under which the employee is warned, or given disciplinary suspension or probation before resorting to termination. However, Management is not bound by a progressive discipline formula in cases of serious offences and may utilize the system at any step, depending upon the seriousness of the offense. Each supervisor should assure that procedures are applied in a uniform and consistent manner, insofar as is practicable. It is recognized that the precise disciplinary measures used will depend on the total circumstances surrounding the incident, which will rarely, if ever, be the same for separate incidents. Employees have the right to fairness and will be given the opportunity to state their case in all instances. Interviews may be scheduled to record progress made towards achieving the required standard and the relevant warning letter is accordingly endorsed. This is recorded at a final interview, and the relevant warning letter is endorsed. If there is little, or only marginal improvement, then the review period may be extended, or the disciplinary process will advance to the next stage. A written record of discussion should be prepared whenever a supervisor formally counsels an employee on misconduct or unsatisfactory job performance and a copy placed on the personnel file. Counsel/Advise on this policy should be obtained from the Operations Manager.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) POLICY This policy applies to all staff and covers all work-related functions and activities including external training courses sponsored by A.O. Basid Limited. It also applies for all recruitment, selection and promotion decisions. The objective of A.O. Basid Limiteds Equal Opportunity Policy is to improve business success by: attracting and retaining the best possible employees providing a safe, respectful and flexible work environment delivering our services in a safe, respectful and reasonably flexible way

DISCRIMINATION, SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND BULLYING A.O. Basid Limited is committed to providing a workplace free from discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying. Behaviour that constitutes discrimination, sexual harassment or bullying will not be tolerated and will lead to action being taken, which may include dismissal. For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions apply: Discrimination: Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfavourably because of a personal characteristic that is protected under Victorian law. Indirect Discrimination occurs when a rule seems neutral, but has a discriminatory impact on certain people. For example a minimum height requirement of 6 foot for a particular job might be applied equally to men and women, but would indirectly discriminate on the basis of sex, as women tend to be shorter than men. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature in circumstances in which it could reasonably be expected to make a person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances, would have anticipated that the person harassed would be offended, humiliated or intimidated. Workplace bullying may include behaviour that is directed toward an employee, or group of employees, that creates a risk to health and safety e.g. physical and/or verbal abuse, excluding or isolating individuals; or giving impossible tasks. A.O. Basid Limited provides equal opportunity in employment to people without discrimination based on a personal characteristic protected under the Employment Law 2007. Personal characteristic include:

Any employee found to have contravened this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include dismissal as outlined in the complaint procedure below. Employees must report any behaviour that constitutes sexual harassment, bullying or discrimination to their manager. Employees will not be victimised or treated unfairly for raising an issue or making a complaint. PROCEDURE: TO MAKE A COMPLAINT If you believe you are being, or have been, discriminated against, sexually harassed or bullied, you should follow this procedure.

business policy and should stop (only if you feel comfortable enough to approach them directly, otherwise speak to your manager). Keep a written record of the incident(s). 2. If the unwelcome behaviour continues, contact your supervisor or manager for support. 3. If this is inappropriate, you feel uncomfortable, or the behaviour persists, contact the Managing Director.

COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

LEAVE POLICY GENERAL LEAVE POLICY All employees are entitled to leave in accordance with the relevant awards or agreements and statutory provisions. Where the entitlements or practices in this document conflict, the applicable award, workplace agreement, employment contract or employment law takes precedence. All planned leave has to be mutually agreed, and take into account workloads and the employees needs. Leave must be approved in advance, except when the employee cannot anticipate the absence. Any documents regarding leave will be kept on the employees personnel file. ANNUAL LEAVE POLICY Each employee is entitled to a minimum of 21 days annual leave a year. Leave entitlements are calculated from the date they started work and accrue in accordance month by month. Annual leave counts towards continuous service. Applications for annual leave need to be lodged 2 weeks in advance. An employee is expected to take accrued annual leave for business close down periods. A.O. Basid Limited will decide on a case-by-case basis whether it will agree with an employee to cash out annual leave as permitted by the Employment Law. In some circumstances, leave in advance of what leave has accrued may be approved. This is conditional on the employee agreeing to the business deducting any advance in the event of termination, or to the employee accepting leave without pay. SICK LEAVE An employee is entitled to a minimum of 18 days of personal/carers leave every 12 months which can all be taken as carers leave if required. Paid personal leave accrues at the rate of 1.5 days per month of service and is cumulative. An employee should notify his/her manager as soon as possible if they are unable to attend work due to illness or injury. Management, at its discretion, may request evidence such as a medical certificate showing that the employee was entitled to take personal leave during the relevant period. COMPASSIONATE LEAVE Compassionate leave is paid leave taken by an employee to spend time with a family member/member of the employees household, who has a personal illness, or injury, that poses a serious threat to his/her life, or after the death of a family member/member of the employees household. Each employee is entitled to a period of five days paid compassionate leave for each occasion where a family member has died, or the employee needs to

COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

spend time with a seriously ill family member. Additional unpaid leave maybe granted at management discretion. PARENTAL LEAVE POLICY Male employees are entitled to 2 weeks paid paternity leave following the birth of a child in the family and he may, in agreement with the manager, take some or all of that leave at the same time. DURING PARENTAL LEAVE Even though the employee is on leave, they will continue to be protected against discrimination as an employee. A.O. Basid Limited respects that some employees do not want any contact while on leave, and others do. The manager should discuss with the employee what sort of communication the employee would like while on leave, and record this agreement. While an employee is on parental leave, A.O. Basid Limited will ensure that the employee is considered and kept informed of significant changes that may occur in the business.

The manager and the employee agree on the date for a performance appraisal meeting to allow time to prepare. 2.

The manager and the employee will agree any objectives and outcomes for the next appraisal period. 4. Training and development will be considered as part of the process. 5.

COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT POLICY Where warranted A.O. Basid Limited will use improvement processes to improve performance. Should such improvement processes be unsuccessful in improving an employees performance, A.O. Basid Limited may decide to end an employees employment. Depending on the circumstances, performance improvement action may include verbal or written warnings, counselling or retraining. A.O. Basid Limited requires a minimum standard of conduct and performance which will be made clear to employees in management appraisals. If an employee does not meet this standard, A.O. Basid Limited will take appropriate corrective action, such as training. Formal performance improvement procedures will generally only start when other corrective action fails. If an employee deliberately breaches business policy or procedure, or engages in misconduct, A.O. Basid Limited may start improvement procedures, or, in cases of serious misconduct or breach of policy, may dismiss an employee. Each employee must understand their responsibilities, be counselled and given the opportunity to reach the standards expected of them. A.O. Basid Limited will give an employee the opportunity to defend themselves before management takes further action. PROCEDURE

1. A.O. Basid Limited will advise the employee of any shortfall in their
performance, and give them an opportunity to respond. 2. Once they respond, the manager will consider their response and decide if performance improvement action should be taken. A.O. Basid Limited will provide support such as training where appropriate. 3. If the employee is given a verbal warning, the manager should make a note of it, date it and sign it. 4. The manager will advise the employee in clear terms what they see as the performance problem or the unacceptable conduct. To highlight the deficiency they should use specific examples, and refer to the correct policy or procedure. 5. The manager will allow the employee to respond before making a decision and consider the employees responses. The employee may have a support person present at such meetings. 6. The manager will decide if more action is needed. 7. If a written warning is to follow, the manager is to: document it and give the employee a copy give the employee the opportunity (and their support person the opportunity) to sign the warning keep a copy on file 8. The warning must clearly define: the deficiency a clear explanation of the expected standard by when the employee needs to achieve it

COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

how the business will help the employee achieve the improvement required consequences of failing to improve 9. The manager concerned will keep a record of all meetings, training and/or coaching given and a summary of discussions, and put a copy on the employees personnel file. This should include date, location and time of discussion. 10. They will continue to support the employee and note the support they give, for example, training or counselling. 11. If the employees performance or conduct doesnt improve, the manager will give the employee a final written warning. This document needs to warn the employee in clear terms that A.O. Basid Limited will terminate their employment if there is not enough improvement, and a sustained improvement in, their performance. Note: some circumstances justify going straight to a second or final warning.

GRIEVANCES POLICY A.O. Basid Limited supports the right of every employee to lodge a grievance with their manager if they believe a decision, behaviour or action affecting their employment is unfair. An employee may raise a grievance about any performance improvement action taken against them. We aim to resolve problems and grievances promptly and as close to the source as possible. When necessary, A.O. Basid Limited will escalate a grievance to the next higher level of authority for more discussion and resolution, and continue escalating it to the level above until it is resolved. Managers will do their utmost to action grievances objectively, discreetly and promptly. Be aware that grievances that are misconceived, vexatious, and lacking substance may result in disciplinary action being taken against the employee lodging the grievance. PROCEDURE 1. The employee should try to resolve the grievance as close to the source as possible. This can be informal and verbal. At this stage, every possible effort should be made to settle a grievance before the formal grievance process starts. If the matter still cant be resolved, the process continues and becomes formal. 2. To start the formal grievance the complainants must fully describe their grievance in writing, with dates and locations wherever possible and how they have already tried to settle the grievance. 3. The person(s) against whom the grievance/complaint is made should be given the full details of the allegation(s) against them. They should have the opportunity and a reasonable time to respond before the process continues. 4. If the grievance still cannot be resolved, refer the matter to the most senior manager for consideration and a final decision. A grievance taken to this level must be in writing from the employee.

All employees are required to act in good faith towards A.O. Basid Limited. Employees need to be aware of the potential for a conflict of interest to arise and should always act in the best interests of A.O. Basid Limited. As individuals, employees may have private interests that from time to time conflict, or appear to conflict, with their employment with A.O. Basid Limited.

Basid Limited and their own personal or professional interests, or those of relatives or friends. Where such a conflict occurs (or is perceived to occur), the interests of A.O. Basid Limited will be balanced against the interests of the staff member and, unless exceptional circumstances exist, resolved in favour of A.O. Basid Limited. It is impossible to define all potential areas of conflict of interest. If an employee is in doubt if a conflict exists, they should raise the matter with their manager. PROCEDURE Employees must:

If an employee declares such an interest, A.O. Basid Limited will review the potential areas of conflict with the employee and mutually agree on practical arrangements to resolve the situation. Employees must disclose any other employment that might cause a conflict of interest with A.O. Basid Limited to their manager. Where there are external involvements that do not represent a conflict of interest, these must not affect performance or attendance whilst working at A.O. Basid Limited. If such involvement does affect performance or attendance it will be considered a conflict of interest. Employees must not set up or engage in private business or undertake other employment in direct or indirect competition with A.O. Basid Limited using knowledge and/or materials gained during the course of employment with A.O. Basid Limited.
