| Questions 4 through 7 refer to the following notice. Notice to All Employees
As part of our ”Good Health” policy, we wish to infomi our employees of the new no-smoking policy in the office. In order to create a clean working environment, smoking is no longer allowed in the office break-room or in the restrooms All offices, of course, remain no smoking areas. The only area in which smoking will be allowed is the new smoking lobby near the parking area. Although this is outdoors, it is a c0vered area. Therefore it is possible to use it in all weather conditions. Also, we are not allowing smoke breaks longer than five minutes for every one hour period. This means that smokers may take a five-minute break each hour of work or a ten-minute break every two hours of work. We will not be monitoring w0rkers, but we do expect yen to stick to this timing. For a cooperative office atmosphere, we need workers to feel that everyone is working equal hours. As this is the official policy for the company, no exceptions will be allowed. From next month, we will be introducing a bonus system for all employees who give up smoking for more than three months. More information will be given at a later date. If you feel that this policy is somehow unfair or that you are being discriminated against, we encourage you to contact your department’s supervisor.
Thank you. |
