Workplace conduct

Kinetic Data wishes to create a work environment that promotes job satisfaction, respect, responsibility, integrity, and value for all our employees, customers, and other stakeholders. We all share in the responsibility of improving the quality of our work environment. By deciding to work here, you agree to follow our rules.

While it is impossible to list everything that could be considered misconduct in the workplace, what is outlined here is a list of common-sense infractions that could result in discipline, up to and including immediate termination of employment. This policy is not intended to limit your rights under the National Labor Relations Act, our right to discipline or discharge employees for any reason permitted by law, or to modify the at-will employment status where at-will is not prohibited by state law.

Examples of inappropriate conduct include:
