CONFLICTS OF INTEREST All employees must avoid situations involving actual or potential conflicts of interest. Personal or romantic involvement with a competitor, supplier, or subordinate employee of AJK which impairs an employee's ability to exercise good judgment on behalf of AJK creates an actual or potential conflict of interest. AJK has adopted this policy because of the potential problems posed by romantic or sexual relationships between employees. These problems include conflicts of interest, interference with the productivity of co-workers, and potential charges of sexual harassment. Such problems can be particularly serious in situations in which one person has a position of authority over the other, such as in a supervisor-subordinate position. AJK imposes the following restrictions on romantic or sexual relationships between employees: 1. A supervisor or manager must not engage in a romantic or sexual relationship with a subordinate employee under any circumstances. 2. If a supervisor or manager becomes involved in a romantic or sexual relationship with a non-subordinate non-management employee, the supervisor or manager must disclose the existence of such relationship immediately to the HR Manager. AJK will take all steps it deems necessary to prevent conflicts of interest and potential legal claims. 3. All employees must avoid romantic or sexual relationships with other employees that create conflicts of interest, potential charges of sexual harassment, or discord or conflicts in the workplace. 4. All employees are expected to behave in a professional manner and avoid inappropriate displays of affection, arguments over relationship issues, etc., in the workplace.
