Hiring and Orientation Policies

Hiring and Orientation Policies

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc recognizes the importance of supporting employees experiencing limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions by providing reasonable accommodations. We are committed to complying with the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and any applicable state or local laws offering additional protections.

Examples of reasonable accommodations include:

  • Additional break time for restroom use, meals, hydration, and rest.
  • Seating options allowing for sitting or standing as needed.
  • Schedule changes, part-time work, and paid and unpaid leave.
  • Flexible work hours to accommodate medical appointments and physical needs.
  • Telework (remote work).
  • Closer parking spots to the workplace entrance.
  • Light duty.
  • Making existing facilities accessible or modifying the work environment.
  • Job restructuring.
  • Temporarily suspending one or more essential functions of your job.
  • Acquiring or modifying equipment, uniforms, or devices.
  • Adjusting or modifying examinations or policies.

If you require an accommodation, notify your Manager/Supervisor. In instances where the need for a particular accommodation is not obvious, you may be asked to provide:

  • The reason an accommodation is needed.
  • A description of the proposed accommodation.
  • Information on how the accommodation will effectively address your limitations.

Medical documentation will not be required in the following situations:

  • When the limitation and need for accommodation is obvious.
  • If the Company is already aware of the limitation due to previous disclosures.
  • When requesting accommodation such as additional restroom breaks, fluid intake, food breaks, or seating arrangements, which are considered presumptively reasonable.
  • For any lactation accommodations.
  • When similar accommodation has been provided to other employees without requiring documentation.

The Company will engage in an interactive process with you to identify suitable accommodation. While we strive to accommodate all requests, certain accommodations may not be provided if they would result in undue hardship to the Company. Factors considered include the nature and cost of the accommodation, the overall financial resources of the facility, and the impact on operations, including safety and efficiency.

If leave is provided as a reasonable accommodation, it may run concurrently with leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or any other applicable leave as permitted by law.

The Company strictly prohibits retaliation against employees who request or utilize accommodation under this policy.

Conflicts of Interest

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc is concerned with conflicts of interest that create actual or potential job-related concerns, especially in the areas of confidentiality, customer relations, safety, security, and morale. If there is any actual or potential conflict of interest between you and a competitor, supplier, distributor, or contractor to the Company, you must disclose it to your Manager/Supervisor. If an actual or potential conflict of interest is determined to exist, the Company will take such steps as it deems necessary to reduce or eliminate this conflict.

Disability Accommodation

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and all applicable state and local fair employment practices laws and is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to qualified individuals with disabilities, including disabilities related to pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions. Consistent with this commitment, the Company will provide reasonable accommodation to otherwise qualified individuals where appropriate to allow the individual to perform the essential functions of the job, unless doing so would create an undue hardship in the business.

If you require accommodation because of your disability, it is your responsibility to notify your Manager/Supervisor. You may be asked to include relevant information such as:

  • The reason you need accommodation.
  • A description of the proposed accommodation.
  • How the accommodation will help you perform the essential functions of your job.

After receiving your request, the Company will engage in an interactive dialogue with you to determine the precise limitations of your disability and explore potential reasonable accommodation that could overcome those limitations. Where appropriate, we may need your permission to obtain additional information from your medical provider. All medical information received by the Company in connection with a request for accommodation will be treated as confidential.

The Company encourages you to suggest specific reasonable accommodation that you believe would allow you to perform your job. However, the Company is not required to make the specific accommodation requested by you and may provide alternative accommodation, to the extent any reasonable accommodation can be provided without imposing an undue hardship on the Company.

Where state or local law provides greater protection to employees than federal law, the Company will apply the law that provides the greatest benefit to employees.

If leave is provided as reasonable accommodation, such leave may run concurrently with leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and/or any other leave where permitted by state and federal law.

The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees for requesting accommodation.

Religious Accommodation

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc recognizes the diversity of religious beliefs and is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees, regardless of their religious beliefs and practices or lack thereof. Consistent with this commitment, the Company complies with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all applicable state and local laws that prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of religion. The Company will reasonably accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs of employees if the accommodations would resolve a conflict between the individual's religious belief or practice and a work requirement, unless doing so would create an undue hardship.

Requesting a Religious Accommodation

If you need an accommodation because of your religious beliefs or practices, make the request with your

Manager/Supervisor department. You may be asked to include relevant information such as:

  • A description of the proposed accommodation.
  • The reason you need the accommodation.
  • How the accommodation will help resolve the conflict between your religious beliefs or practices (or lack thereof) and your work requirements.

After receiving your request, the Company will engage in an interactive dialogue with you to explore potential accommodations that could resolve the conflict between your religious beliefs or practices and work requirements.

However, the Company is not required to make the specific accommodation requested by you and may provide an alternative accommodation, to the extent any reasonable accommodation can be made without imposing an undue hardship on the Company.

The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against employees who, in good faith, request a religious accommodation under this policy.

Training Program

In most cases, and for most departments, training employees is done on an individual basis by the department manager. Even if you have had previous experience in the specified functions of your job duties, it is necessary for you to learn our specific procedures, as well as the responsibilities of the specific position. If you ever feel you require additional training, consult your Manager/Supervisor.

Absences will be considered excused if you requested the time off in accordance with Company policies and received the required approval for the absence. Absences will be considered unexcused if you are absent from work during scheduled work hours without permission and do not receive retroactive approval. This policy applies to all absences, including full- or partial-day absences, late arrivals, and early departures. If it is necessary for an employee to be absent or late for work because of an illness or an emergency, the employee must notify his or her supervisor no later than one hour prior to the employee's scheduled starting time on that same day.

Planned absences, such as vacations or medical appointments, should be arranged as far in advance as possible. If you need to be absent during the workday, attempt to schedule outside appointments or obligations so that your absence has the smallest impact possible on business operations.

Employees with three or more consecutive days of excused absences because of illness or injury must give Kingfa proof of physician's care prior to returning to work.

The Company reserves the right to apply for unused PTO or sick time to unauthorized absences when permitted by applicable law.

Employees must take earned PTO or/ Paid Medical Leave time for every absence unless otherwise allowed by company policy (e.g., bereavement, jury duty, holiday).

If you fail to report to work for three (3) or more consecutive days and have not provided proper notification, the Company will assume that you have voluntarily resigned your position and will proceed with the termination process.

Disciplinary Action (Hourly Employees)

Eight (8) Points of unexcused absence in a 12-month period are considered grounds for termination.

  • An unexcused absence counts as one (1) point.
  • Tardiness and early departures are each one-half (1/2) a point.
  • Failure to clock in/out - one-half (1/2) a point.
  • Failure to call off work/No call No Show counts as two (2) points.

  • 6 points: Written warning.
  • 7 points: Final Warning and possible suspension.
  • 8 points: Employee is subject to termination.

Department Managers will determine and request a reduction of points for outstanding performance on case-by-case basis. Probationary Period Employees: Employees within their first 90 days of employment are not eligible to take any time off unless authorized by their manager. Unexcused absences in the first 90 days could result in immediate termination.

Open Door/Conflict Resolution Process

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc strives to provide a comfortable, productive, legal, and ethical work environment. To this end, we want you to bring any problems, concerns, or grievances you have about the workplace to the attention of your Manager/Supervisor and, if necessary, to Human Resources or upperlevel management. To help manage conflict resolution we have instituted the following problem-solving procedure:

If you believe there is inappropriate conduct or activity on the part of the Company, management, its employees, vendors, customers, or any other persons or entities related to the Company, bring your concerns to the attention of your Manager/Supervisor at a time and place that will allow the person to properly listen to your concern. Most problems can be resolved informally through dialogue between you and your immediate Manager/Supervisor. If you have already brought this matter to the attention of your Manager/Supervisor before and do not believe you have received a sufficient response, or if you believe that person is the source of the problem, present your concerns to Human Resources or upper level management. Describe the problem, those persons involved in the problem, efforts you have made to resolve the problem, and any suggested solution you may have.

Outside Employment

Outside employment that creates a conflict of interest or affects the quality or value of your work performance or availability at Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc is prohibited. The Company

recognizes that you may seek additional employment during off hours, but in all cases expects that any outside employment will not affect your attendance, job performance, productivity, work hours, or scheduling, or would otherwise adversely affect your ability to effectively perform your duties or in any way create a conflict of interest. Any outside employment that will conflict with your duties and obligations to the Company should be reported to your Manager/Supervisor. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in discipline up to and including termination. While on a leave of absence, you may not work or be gainfully employed for yourself or by another employer. If you are on a leave of absence and are found to be in violation of this policy, you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Pay Raises

Depending on financial health and other Company factors, efforts will be made to give pay raises consistent with Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc profitability, job performance, and the consumer price index. The Company may also make individual pay raises based on merit or due to a change of job position.

Performance Reviews

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc will make efforts to periodically review your work performance. The performance review is a tool used to evaluate employee performance over the review period by assessing:

  • Your performance of assigned job duties and responsibilities.
  • Your achievement or lack of achievement of specific targets and goals.
  • Other aspects of your performance (e.g., communication skills, professionalism, ability to collaborate, reliability, willingness to take initiative, etc.).

The performance review process will take place annually, biannually, monthly, etc. or as business needs dictate.

The performance review process is intended to increase the quality and value of your work performance. The review process may be used:

  • As a basis for employment decisions, such as promotions and demotions.
  • To improve the performance of under performing employees.
  • To document employee growth at the Company.

A positive performance review does not guarantee a pay raise or continued employment.

Promotions

To match you with the job for which you are best suited and to meet the business needs of Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc, you may be transferred from your current job. It is our policy to promote from within only when the most qualified candidate is available.

  • Pants or skirts worn below the waistline Sexually provocative clothing
  • Clothing with profanity, nude or semi-nude pictures Sexually suggestive slogans, cartoons, or drawings
  • The observable lack of undergarments and exposed undergarments.

Supervisors can send an employee home to change clothes when violations occur. The time spent away from work for this reason will follow the attendance occurrence guidelines. The list below is provided for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation.

Personal Cell Phone/Mobile Device Use

Use of personal cell phones and mobile devices at work can be distracting and disruptive and cause a loss of productivity. Thus, you should primarily use such personal devices during nonworking time, such as breaks and meal periods. During this time, use devices in a manner that is courteous to those around you. If you have a device that has a camera and/or audio/video recording capability, you are restricted from using those functions on Company property unless authorized in advance by management.

The use of personal cell phones is strictly prohibited in the following areas:

Production Floor Safety: Personal cell phones should not be used on the production floor because they create a safety risk. Cell phone use can distract employees from moving machinery, forklifts, material-handling equipment, process hazards, alarms, warning signals, and other employees working nearby. Looking at, typing on, or talking on a phone may reduce situational awareness and reaction time, increasing the risk of slips, trips, collisions, caught-in or struck-by incidents, and other workplace injuries. Employees must remain alert and focused on their surroundings at all times while on the production floor. Personal cell phones should be stored away and used only in designated areas during approved breaks or meal periods, unless use is specifically authorized by management for a work-related purpose or an emergency.

  • On the plant floor.
  • While assisting in any operation of plant, machinery, or equipment While working above the ground
  • While carrying out any work duty within the company’s premises
  • While driving vehicles
  • While attending meetings

Earbuds or headphones are not to be used on the production floor, at any time.

You are expected to comply with Company policies regarding the protection of confidential and proprietary information when using personal devices.

While operating a vehicle on work time, the Company requires that the driver's personal cell phone/mobile device be turned off. If you need to make or receive a phone call while driving, pull off the road to a safe location unless you have the correct hands- free equipment for the device that is in compliance with applicable state laws.

You will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment for violation of this policy.

Personal Data Changes

It is your obligation to provide Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc with your current contact information, including current mailing address and telephone number. You should also inform the Company of any changes to your tax withholding status. Failure to do so may result in loss of benefits or delayed receipt of W-2 and other mailings. To make changes to this information, contact the Human Resources Department.

Security

All employees are responsible for helping to make Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc a secure work environment. Upon leaving work, lock all desks, lockers, and doors protecting valuable or sensitive material in your work area and report any lost or stolen keys, passes, or similar devices to your Manager/Supervisor immediately. Refrain from discussing specifics regarding Company security systems, alarms, passwords, etc. with those outside of the Company.

Immediately advise your Manager/Supervisor of any known or potential security risks and/or suspicious conduct of employees, customers, or guests of the Company. Safety and security is the responsibility of all employees and we rely on you to help us keep our premises secure.

Social Media

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc acknowledges that social media has become an integral part of modern life that provides us with unique opportunities to communicate and share information with others. However, we also want to educate employees that their social media use can:

  • Pose risks to the Company's confidential and proprietary information, reputation, and brand;
  • Expose the Company to discrimination, harassment, and other claims; and
  • Jeopardize the Company's compliance with business rules and laws.

To minimize legal risks, avoid loss of productivity and distraction, and ensure that the Company's IT resources and communications systems are used appropriately, all employees must abide by the following policy regarding social media use.

Social Media

For purposes of this policy, social media refers to any means of posting content on the internet, including personal websites, social networking sites, blogs, chat rooms, and other online platforms, whether affiliated with the Company or not.

Use Good Judgment

While the Company respects your right to personal expression, you should assume that anything you do on social media—whether on a business or personal account—could be viewed by a colleague, supervisor, partner, supplier, competitor, investor, customer, or potential customer. As such, any social media activity, even from your personal account, reflects on the Company as well as on yourself. It is important to remember that anyone can see what you post (or what you posted five years ago).

Guidelines for Posting on Social Media

When posting:

  • Protect trade secrets, intellectual property, and confidential information related to the Company.
  • Do not make statements that are maliciously false or defamatory or would constitute unlawful harassment or discrimination.
  • Do not make express or implied threats of violence.

When that happens, lawyers, former employees, newspapers, law enforcement agencies, and other outside persons may contact our employees to obtain information about the incident or the actual or potential lawsuit.

If you receive such a contact, you should not speak on behalf of the Company and should refer any call requesting the position of the Company to management or the Human Resources Department. If you have any questions about this policy or are not certain what to do when such a contact is made, contact management or the Human Resources Department.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc provides an employee assistance program (EAP) to all eligible employees. The EAP provides confidential access to professional counseling services for help with personal concerns that may impact job performance.

Voluntary participation in the EAP will not jeopardize your opportunities for promotion or employment. You can contact the EAP directly. Any information about your contact, participation, or any recommended treatment is confidential and will not be disclosed to the Company.

In certain circumstances, you may be referred to the EAP by your Manager/Supervisor due to job performance issues. EAP services can be initiated by contacting the EAP service provider at 855-775-4357 .

EAP services are available to eligible participants without charge. However, the cost of any treatment or rehabilitation services you are referred to outside of the EAP is your responsibility if not completely covered by insurance.

Employer-Sponsored Disability Benefits

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc offers the following employer-sponsored disability insurance benefits to eligible employees, after the plan's defined waiting period, when they miss work due to non-work-related disabilities.

Short-Term Disability Insurance

Short-term disability insurance generally pays a weekly benefit if you cannot work because of a covered illness or injury. The benefit replaces a portion of your weekly income, providing funds directly to you to help pay your bills and living expenses. Check your plan documents for details about benefit payments and duration.

Long-Term Disability Insurance

Long-term disability insurance generally pays a monthly benefit to you if you cannot work because of a covered illness or injury. The benefit replaces a portion of your income, thus helping to meet your financial commitment in a time of need. Check your plan documents for details about benefit payments and duration.

Additional Information

The terms and conditions for the disability insurance program are outlined in the Summary Plan Description (SPD). Contact the HR Department for a copy of the plan provisions, required forms, and additional information about these benefits.

Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)

In accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc provides up to 12 or 26 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period to covered employees in certain circumstances.

Eligibility

To qualify for FMLA leave, you must:

  • Have worked for the Company for at least 12 months, although that time need not be consecutive;
  • Have worked at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months; and
  • Be employed at a worksite that has 50 or more employees within 75 miles.

Reasons for Leave

You may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid FMLA leave in a 12-month period, for any of the following reasons:

  • The birth of a child and to care for that child (leave must be completed within one year of the child’s birth);
  • The adoption or foster care placement of a child with you and in order to care for the newly placed child (leave must be completed within one year of the child’s placement);
  • To care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition;
  • To care for your own serious health condition that makes you unable to perform the essential functions of your position; or
  • A qualifying exigency of a spouse, child, or parent who is a military member on covered active duty or called to covered active duty status (or has been notified of an impending call or order to covered active duty).

You may take up to 26 weeks of unpaid FMLA leave in a single 12-month period, beginning on the first day that you take FMLA leave, to care for a spouse, child, parent, or next of kin who is a covered service member and who has a serious injury or illness related to active duty service.

As used in this policy:

  • Spouse means a husband or wife as recognized under state law for the purposes of marriage in the state or other territory or country where the marriage took place.
  • Child means a biological, adopted, or foster child, a stepchild, a legal ward, or a child of a person standing in loco parentis, who is either under age 18 or age 18 or older and incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical disability at the time FMLA leave is to commence. A child for the purposes of military exigency or military care leave can be of any age.
  • Parent means a biological, adoptive, step, or foster parent, or any other individual who stood in loco parentis to you when you were a child.
  • Next of kin for the purposes of military care leave is a blood relative other than a spouse, parent, or child in the following order: brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and first cousins. If a military service member designates in writing another blood relative as their caregiver, that individual will be the only next of kin. In appropriate circumstances, you may be required to provide documentation of next of kin status.

Notice

If the need for leave is foreseeable because of an expected birth, adoption, or a planned medical treatment, you must give at least 30 days’ notice. If 30 days’ notice is not possible, give notice as soon as practical (within one or two business days of learning of your need for leave). Failure to provide appropriate notice may result in the delay or denial of leave.

In addition, if you are seeking intermittent or reduced schedule leave that is foreseeable due to a planned medical treatment or a series of treatments for yourself, a family member, or covered service member, you must first consult with the Company regarding the dates of this treatment to work out a schedule that best suits your needs or the needs of the covered military member, if applicable, and the Company.

If the need for leave is unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as possible. Normal call-in procedures apply to all absences from work, including requests for absences under this policy. Failure to provide appropriate notice may result in the delay or denial of leave.

Certification

If you are requesting leave because of your own or a covered relative’s serious health condition, you and the relevant healthcare provider must supply appropriate medical certification. You may obtain medical certification forms from HR. When you request leave, the Company will notify you of the requirement

for medical certification and when it is due (at least 15 days after you request leave). If you provide at least 30 days’ notice of medical leave, you should also provide the medical certification before leave begins. Failure to provide requested medical certification in a timely manner may result in denial of FMLA-covered leave until it is provided.

At our expense, the Company may require an examination by a second healthcare provider designated by us. If the second healthcare provider’s opinion conflicts with the original medical certification, we, at our expense, may require a third, mutually agreeable, healthcare provider to conduct an examination and provide a final and binding opinion. Subsequent medical recertification may also be required. Failure to provide requested certification within 15 days, when practical, may delay further leave until it is provided. The Company also reserves the right to require certification from a covered military member’s healthcare provider if you are requesting military caregiver leave and certification in connection with military exigency leave.

Paid Leave Utilization During FMLA Leave

FMLA leave is unpaid; however, you will be required to use available paid leave PTO during FMLA leave as permitted by law.

FMLA leave runs concurrently with other leaves, such as accrued paid leave that is substituted for unpaid FMLA leave and any state family leave laws, to the extent allowed by applicable law. The substitution of paid leave for unpaid FMLA leave does not extend the 12 or 26 weeks (whichever is applicable) of FMLA leave. In addition, the substitution of paid leave for unpaid leave may not result in you receiving more than 100% of your salary.

If you are receiving short- or long-term disability or workers’ compensation benefits during a personal medical leave, you will not be required to use accrued paid leave. However, where state law permits, you may elect to use accrued paid leave to supplement these benefits.

Leave Increments

Intermittent Leave

If medically necessary, FMLA leave for a serious health condition may be taken intermittently (in separate blocks of time) or on a reduced leave schedule (reducing the usual number of hours you work per workweek or workday). FMLA leave may also be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule for a qualifying exigency relating to covered military service.

As FMLA leave is unpaid, the Company will reduce your salary based on the amount of time actually worked. In addition, while you are on an intermittent or reduced schedule leave that is foreseeable due to planned medical treatments, the Company may temporarily transfer you to an available alternative position that better accommodates your leave schedule and has equivalent pay and benefits.

Parental Leave

Leave for the birth or placement of a child must be taken in a single block and cannot be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis. Parental leave must be completed within 12 months of the birth or placement of the child; however, you may use parental leave before the placement of an adopted or foster child to consult with attorneys, appear in court, attend counseling sessions, etc.

Family Care, Personal Medical, Military Exigency, and Military Care Leave

Leave taken for these reasons may be taken in a block or blocks of time. In addition, if a healthcare provider deems it necessary or if the nature of a qualifying exigency requires, leave for these reasons can be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis.

Fitness for Duty Requirements

If you take leave because of your own serious health condition (except if you are taking intermittent leave), you are required, as are all employees returning from other types of medical leave, to provide medical certification that you are fit to resume work. You will not be permitted to resume work until certification is provided.

Health Insurance

Maintaining Coverage During Leave

Your health insurance coverage will be maintained by the Company during leave on the same basis as if you were still working. You must continue to make timely payments of your share of the premiums for such coverage. Failure to pay premiums within 30 days of when they are due may result in a lapse of coverage. If this occurs, you will be notified 15 days before the date coverage lapses that coverage will terminate unless payments are promptly made.

Payment of Premiums

Alternatively, at our option, the Company may pay your share of the premiums during the leave and recover the costs of this insurance upon your return to work. Coverage that lapses due to nonpayment of premiums will be reinstated immediately upon return to work without a waiting period. Under most circumstances, if you do not return to work at the end of leave, the Company may require reimbursement for the health insurance premiums paid during the leave.

Reinstatement

Upon returning to work at the end of leave, you will generally be placed in your original job or an equivalent job with equivalent pay and benefits. You will not lose any benefits that accrued before leave was taken.

Spouse Aggregation

If both you and your spouse work at the Company, you are collectively eligible for 12 weeks of leave for the birth or placement of a child or to care for a parent with a serious health condition. Similarly, spouses employed by the Company will be limited to a combined total of 26 weeks of leave to care for a military service member. This 26-week leave period will be reduced, however, by the amount of leave taken for other qualifying FMLA events. This type of leave aggregation does not apply to leave needed for your own serious health condition, to care for a spouse or child with a serious health condition, or because of a qualifying exigency.

Failure to Return

If you fail to return to work or fail to make a request for an extension of leave prior to the expiration of the leave, you will be deemed to have voluntarily terminated your employment. The Company is not required to grant requests for open-ended leaves with no reasonable return date under these policies or as disability accommodations.

Alternative Employment

You may not work or be gainfully employed for yourself or another employer while on a leave of absence. If you are on a leave of absence and are found to be in violation of this policy, you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Interaction with State and Local Laws

Where state or local laws intersect with the FMLA, the Company will comply with the law that is the most favorable to you.

Abuse of Leave

If you are found to have provided a false reason for a leave, you will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Designation of Leave

If the Company becomes aware of any qualifying reason for FMLA leave, the Company will designate it as such. You may not refuse FMLA designation under this policy.

Retaliation

The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy.

Required Notice

The Company is required to provide you with a copy of the Your Employee Rights Under the Family and Medical Leave Act notice, which is attached as an addendum at the end of this handbook.

Legal Compliance

Scheduling and Use of PTO

If possible, PTO should be requested at least two (2) weeks in advance and approved by the employee’s manager to avoid disruption to business operations.

The Company reserves the right to deny or reschedule PTO requests based on business needs.

Employees are expected to use available PTO for absences from scheduled work time unless another type of leave is approved.

Managers are responsible for coordinating PTO scheduling within their departments.

Policy Against Workplace Harassment

Kingfa Science & Technology USA Inc has a strict policy against all types of workplace harassment, including sexual harassment and other forms of workplace harassment. As part of this policy, KINGFA strictly prohibits harassment on the basis of age, sex, sexual orientation, color, race, creed, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, religious persuasion, marital status, political belief, disability, military or veteran status, or any other protected status under federal, state or local laws. All employees have a responsibility for keeping our work environment free of harassment and other unprofessional or inappropriate action. All forms of harassment (verbal, physical, visual, etc.) of, or by, employees, vendors, visitors, customers, and clients are strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. KINGFA intends to provide a work environment that is professional and free from intimidation, threats, hostility or other abusive, derogatory, inappropriate or unprofessional behavior that might interfere with work performance.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly as 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 work environment.

While it is not possible to identify every act that constitutes or may constitute sexual harassment, the following are some examples of sexual harassment:

  • Unwelcome requests for sexual favors;
  • Lewd or derogatory comments or jokes;
  • Comments regarding sexual behavior or another person's body;
  • Sexual innuendo and other vocal activity such as catcalls or whistles;
  • Obscene letters, notes, emails, invitations, photographs, cartoons, articles, or other written or pictorial materials of a sexual nature;
  • Repeated requests for dates after being informed that interest is unwelcome;

  • Offering or providing favors or employment benefits such as promotions, favorable evaluations, favorable assigned duties or shifts, etc., in exchange for sexual favors; and
  • Any unwanted physical touching or assaults, or blocking or impeding movements.

Other Harassment

Other workplace harassment is verbal or physical conduct that insults or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of the individual's membership in a protected class.

Again, while it is not possible to list all the circumstances that may constitute other forms of workplace harassment, the following are some examples of conduct that may constitute workplace harassment:

  • The use of disparaging or abusive words or phrases, slurs, negative stereotyping, or threatening, intimidating, or hostile acts that relate to the above protected categories;
  • Written or graphic material that insults, stereotypes, or shows aversion or hostility towards an individual or group because of one of the above protected categories and that is placed on walls, bulletin boards, or elsewhere on our premises, in emails or voicemails, or otherwise circulated in the workplace; and

Reporting Discrimination and Harassment

While we encourage you to communicate directly with the alleged harasser and make it clear that the harasser's behavior is unacceptable, offensive or inappropriate, it is not required that you do so.

If you feel that you have witnessed or have been subjected to any form of discrimination or harassment, immediately notify Human Resources or any member of management. It is essential to notify the Human Resource Department immediately even if you are not sure if the offending behavior is considered harassment. Appropriate investigation and disciplinary action will be taken.
