7.14 Non-solicitation / Non-distribution Policy

Arkansas Support Network prioritizes a harmonious work environment that minimizes disruption to business operations and respects the focus of employees, visitors, and others. Our nonsolicitation/non-distribution policy aims to ensure a balanced approach to interactions within the workplace.

Solicitation

For the purposes of this policy, solicitation includes various activities such as selling items or services, seeking contributions, or seeking support for an organization. Solicitation, whether conducted verbally, in writing, or electronically, falls under this policy's scope.

During your assigned working hours, soliciting other employees is prohibited in work areas. Working hours refers to periods when either you or the employees you intend to solicit are expected to be actively engaged in work-related activities. You are permitted to engage in solicitation during authorized nonworking times, such as breaks, in non-working areas provided that the recipients of the solicitation are also on non-working time and in a non-working area.

Distribution

To ensure cleanliness, organization, and safety, the distribution of nonwork-related literature or items within working areas is prohibited at all times. Working areas do not include break/rest areas, lunchrooms, and parking lots. Electronic distribution of materials during work hours is also not allowed. Any literature that violates the Company's equal employment opportunity (EEO) and nonharassment policies, or knowingly spreads false information, is strictly prohibited. Non-employees are not permitted to distribute materials on company premises under any circumstances.

Statutory Rights and Communication

This policy is not meant to curtail the statutory rights of employees, including their right to discuss terms and conditions of employment. Open communication remains a vital part of our workplace culture.

Reporting Violations

If you become aware of violations of this policy, report them to your Supervisor.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a respectful and focused work environment.
