EMPLOYMENT POLICIES
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
It is Upshift’s (here within, the Company’s) policy and practice to provide and promote equal employment opportunities for all applicants and employees. It is the responsibility of all employees to ensure that the concepts of equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination are understood, abided by, and carried out by everyone. Upshift hires, trains, promotes, compensates, and administers all employment practices without regard to race, color, religion, gender identification, creed, sex, national origin, age, mental or physical disability, pregnancy (or related condition), citizenship status, genetic information, ancestry, sexual orientation, veteran status, military status, marital status, order of protection status, or any other protected category as defined by applicable law. Harassment and/or discrimination of employees, because they are members of any of these protected groups, is prohibited and will not be tolerated. Upshift will investigate and act appropriately in response to any such incidents which are reported in as confidential a manner as possible. Every good faith effort will be taken by Upshift to fulfill the objectives of this policy. See the Harassment and Discrimination policy for details regarding reporting incidents and/or concerns. REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS
Upshift is committed to complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws governing reasonable accommodations of individuals, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To that end, we will endeavor to make a reasonable accommodation to applicants and employees who have requested an accommodation or for whom Upshift has notice may require such an accommodation, without regard to any protected classifications, related to an individual's:
● Disability, meaning any physical, medical, mental, or psychological impairment, or a history or record of such impairment;
● Sincerely held religious beliefs and practices;
● Needs as a victim of domestic violence, sex offenses, or stalking;
● Needs related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and/or
● Any other reason required by applicable law, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of our business. Any individual who would like to request an accommodation based on any of the reasons set forth above should contact the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center. Accommodation requests can be made in writing using a form which can be obtained from the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center. If an individual who has requested an accommodation has not received an initial response within five (5) business days, the employee should contact the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center.
Revised November 2023
After receiving a request for an accommodation or learning indirectly that an Upshifter may require such an accommodation, Upshift will engage in an interactive dialogue with the Upshifter.
Even if an Upshifter has not formally requested an accommodation, Upshift may initiate an interactive dialogue under certain circumstances, such as when Upshift has knowledge that Upshifter’s performance at work has been negatively affected and a reasonable basis to believe that the issue is related to any of the protected classifications set forth above, in compliance with applicable law. In the event Upshift initiates an interactive dialogue with an employee, it should not be construed as Upshift belief an individual requires an accommodation, but will serve as an invitation for the employee to share with Upshift any information the employee desires to share, or to request an accommodation.
The interactive dialogue may take place in person, by telephone, or by electronic means. As part of the interactive dialogue, Upshift will communicate openly and in good faith with the employee in a timely manner in order to determine whether and how Upshift may be able to provide a reasonable accommodation. To the extent necessary and appropriate based on the request, Upshift will attempt to explore the existence and feasibility of alternative accommodations as well as alternative positions for the employee. Upshift is not required to provide the specific accommodation sought by the employee, provided the alternatives are reasonable and either meet the specific needs of the employee or specifically address the employee's limitations.
As part of the interactive dialogue, Upshift reserves the right to request supporting documentation, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Upshift will endeavor to keep confidential all communications regarding requests for reasonable accommodations and all circumstances surrounding the employee's underlying reason for needing an accommodation.
Upshift will not allow any form of retaliation against employees who have requested an accommodation, for whom Upshift has notice may require such an accommodation, or who otherwise engage in the interactive dialogue process. Employees with questions regarding this policy should contact the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center.
HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION
Upshift insists that all employees be treated with dignity, respect, and courtesy. We believe it is your right to work in an environment that is free from harassment, hostility, and intimidation. Upshift will not tolerate harassment by anyone, including any supervisor, co-worker, vendor, client, partner, contractor, customer, or other regular visitor of Upshift. Harassment and/or Revised November 2023
discrimination of employees, because they are members of any of these protected groups, is prohibited and will not be tolerated. Any violation of this policy may be considered grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. In addition to being a violation of this policy, harassment or retaliation based on any protected characteristic as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws also is unlawful. For example, sexual harassment and retaliation against an individual because the individual filed a complaint of sexual harassment or because an individual aided, assisted or testified in an investigation or proceeding involving a complaint of sexual harassment as defined by applicable federal, state, or local laws are unlawful.
HARASSMENT DEFINED
Harassment generally is defined in this policy as unwelcome verbal, visual or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of any actual or perceived protected characteristic or has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
Harassment can be verbal (including slurs, jokes, insults, epithets, gestures, or teasing), visual
(including offensive posters, symbols, cartoons, drawings, computer displays, text messages, social media posts or e-mails) or physical conduct (including physically threatening another, blocking someone’s way, etc.). Such conduct violates this policy, even if it does not rise to the level of a violation of applicable federal, state, or local laws. Because it is difficult to define unlawful harassment, employees are expected to always behave in a manner consistent with the intended purpose of this policy.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Sexual harassment constitutes discrimination and is illegal under federal, state, and local laws. Sexual harassment can include all of the above actions, as well as other unwelcome conduct, such as unwelcome or unsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, conversations regarding sexual activities and other verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
● submission to that conduct or those advances or requests is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; or
● submission to or rejection of the conduct or advances or requests by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting the individual; or
● the conduct or advances or requests have the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
Examples of conduct that violate this policy include: Revised November 2023
● unwelcome flirtations, leering, whistling, touching, pinching, assault, blocking normal movement;
● requests for sexual favors or demands for sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment;
● obscene or vulgar gestures, posters or comments;
● sexual jokes or comments about a person’s body, sexual prowess or sexual deficiencies;
● propositions or suggestive or insulting comments of a sexual nature;
● derogatory cartoons, posters and drawings;
● sexually-explicit e-mails, text messages or voicemails;
● uninvited touching of a sexual nature;
● unwelcome sexually-related comments;
● conversation about one’s own or someone else’s sex life;
● conduct or comments consistently targeted at only one gender, even if the content is not sexual; and
● teasing or other conduct directed toward a person because of the person’s gender. REPORTING & INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
All Upshift employees are responsible for helping assure that we avoid harassment. Any individual who believes that he or she has been subjected to harassment or discrimination, as prohibited by this policy, or who has witnessed harassment or discrimination, should submit a complaint to Upshift Support Team via the Help Center. In addition, Upshift encourages individuals who believe they are being subjected to such conduct to promptly advise the offender that his or her behavior is unwelcome and to request that it immediately be discontinued. Often this action alone will resolve the problem. We recognize, however, that an individual may prefer to pursue the matter through complaint procedures and are committed to supporting prompt resolution.
● Any employee wishing to submit a complaint (i.e. the “complainant”) should submit a written statement to the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center, or alternatively, the CEO, or their designee, in the event that the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center is the alleged harasser/discriminator. The written statement should state the specific facts and/or perceived wrongful act (e.g. location, names, dates, times) to be investigated. All such written statements should be submitted within thirty (30) days after the incident or act which gives rise to the complaint unless the time for submission is extended by the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center, or designee because the complainant has shown good cause for such an extension.
● Upshift Support Team via the Help Center, the CEO, or their designee, shall promptly investigate the complaint. Confidentiality will be maintained during the investigatory process to the extent practical and appropriate under the circumstances. All reasonable efforts, including but not limited to convening a conference with the complainant and/or Revised November 2023
the accused harasser/discriminator, to discuss the complaint and the results of the investigation, will be taken to resolve the matter.
● If the complainant or the accused is not satisfied with the disposition of the investigation, he/she may submit in writing an appeal to the CEO or their designee who will review the investigation report and make a final decision. At the CEO’s option, their designee may conduct further investigation if necessary.
● Reporting harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or participating in an investigation will not reflect adversely upon an individual’s status or affect future employment. Any employee who retaliates against another for exercising their rights under this policy shall be subject to discipline up to and including termination.
● The right to confidentiality, both of the complainant and of the accused, will be respected consistent with Upshift’s legal obligations and with the necessity to investigate allegations of misconduct and to take corrective action when this conduct has occurred.
● If an investigation results in a finding that the complainant falsely accused another of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation knowingly or in a malicious manner, the complainant will be subject to appropriate discipline, up to and including termination.
● A substantiated charge against an employee will subject the employee to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
● Additionally, Upshift managers who are shown to have had knowledge that such harassment occurred in their immediate departments or work groups and took inadequate or no action to eliminate it are similarly subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
The filing of a complaint under the procedures described herein shall not limit, extend, replace, or delay the right of any person to file a similar complaint or charge with any appropriate local, state, or federal agency or court.
RETALIATION PROHIBITED
Retaliation against an individual for reporting harassment or discrimination or for participating in an investigation of a claim of harassment or discrimination is a serious violation of this policy and, like harassment or discrimination itself, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Acts of retaliation should be reported immediately and will be promptly investigated and addressed.
DRUG-FREE AND ALCOHOL-FREE WORKPLACE
Alcohol and drug abuse is a serious problem in our society, causing personal grief for afflicted individuals and significant costs to businesses. Unfortunately, when abuse of such substances affects job performance, Upshift is also negatively impacted. Our goal is to maintain a drug-free workplace in an effort to prevent accidents, injuries, and other problems stemming from abuse of drugs, alcohol, or other controlled substances. The unlawful or unauthorized use, abuse, solicitation, theft, possession, manufacture, consumption, transfer, purchase, sale or distribution of controlled substances (including medical Revised November 2023
marijuana), drug paraphernalia or alcohol by an individual anywhere on Company premises, while on Company business (whether or not on Company premises) or while representing the Company, is strictly prohibited. Employees and other individuals who work for the Company also are prohibited from reporting to work or working while they are using or under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substances, which may impact the employee's ability to perform their job or otherwise pose safety concerns, except when the use is pursuant to a licensed medical practitioner's instructions and the licensed medical practitioner authorized the employee or individual to report to work. However, this exception does not extend any right to report to work under the influence of medical marijuana or to use medical marijuana as a defense to a positive drug test, to the extent the employee is subject to any drug testing requirement, except as permitted by and in accordance with applicable law. In the event an employee receives a positive result on a drug test given or mandated by Upshift, the employee may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Other violations of this policy may also result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
Upshift is committed to providing a safe, respectful work environment for all our employees, partners, and clients. Violent actions, threats of violence, or other forms of intimidation spoken or taken by an Upshift employee towards another Upshifter or anyone partnered with or served by Upshift will not be tolerated. Violation of this policy may result in immediate termination of employment.
In keeping with the spirit and intent of this policy, Upshift is committed to:
● Investigate and take prompt action, up to and including immediate termination, against any employee who violates the principles above.
● Take appropriate action when dealing with clients, former employees, or visitors to Upshift facilities who engage in such behavior. Such action may include notifying the police, or other law enforcement personnel, and prosecuting violators of this policy to the maximum extent of the law.
All employees are responsible for maintaining a work environment that is free from threatening behavior and violence. Accordingly, each employee has a duty to report any threat, instance of harassment or offensive conduct, or violent act observed or experienced at work. In addition, any employee who has reason to believe that a violent act may be committed on the worksite, or against an individual related to the business in any way, must promptly report that belief or suspicion to the employee’s designated representative or Upshift Support Team via the Help Center. No employee who in no way participated in or instigated such reported activity, and who in good faith either makes a report or participates in an investigation under this policy will experience retaliation of any kind.
Revised November 2023
Any employee who displays a tendency to engage in violent, abusive, or threatening behavior, or who otherwise engages in behavior that Upshift, in its sole discretion, deems offensive or inappropriate, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Any employee who applies for or obtains a protective or restraining order against an individual associated with Upshift or which lists Upshift premises, premises belonging to any of our clients or partners, or premises upon which any of our clients or partners operate as being protected areas should inform the Upshift Support Team via the Help Center immediately. Upshift may require the employee to furnish a copy of the order. In an effort to maintain a safe work environment, Upshift reserves the right to take action relating to any relevant details arising from the production of such an order.
AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT
Your employment relationship with Upshift is that of "employment-at-will." This means that you may resign from employment at any time; and that Upshift also reserves the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without notice, for cause or without cause. No representative of Upshift, other than the CEO, has the authority to enter into any agreement for a specified period of time, or to make any agreement contrary to the preceding statement regarding at-will employment. Any such agreement must be by individual agreement, in writing, and signed by you and the CEO. No one has the authority to make any verbal statements of any kind, or at any time, which are legally binding on Upshift. EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY

When the required attire for a shift conflicts with an employee’s religious beliefs or practices, the Upshifter should proactively contact their Upshift Support Team via the Help Center to see if an accommodation can be made.
