WHEN SOMETHING’S UP

HARASSMENT PREVENTION POLICY

The management of Pier One is committed to ensuring that our workplace is one where all associates can

2. Immediately inform a Supervisor, Department Head or Human Resources.
Each complaint will be investigated impartially an appropriate action will be taken to minimise future
harassment.
Each complaint will be treated seriously, sympathetically and in the strictest confidence.

STAYING IN SYNC

areas of misunderstanding, conflict or poor performance and together outline and agree on corrective
measures required preventing the same or similar difficulties in the future.

Step 1- Coaching + Counselling

aware of the poor performance or conduct, expectations of the associate, the steps needed for the associate
to improve and that any further poor performance or conduct may lead to further disciplinary action.

Step 2- Documented Verbal Warning
Issues in cases of repeated substandard performance or breaches of the terms and conditions of employment
or misconduct. Verbal warnings will remain in place for 6 months.

Step 3- First Written Warning

of employment where the associate has previously been warned in writing or in situations that warrants by
passing the previous step. Written warnings will remain in force for 12 months.

Step 4- Final Written Warning
Issued in cases of persistent poor performance and/or repeated misconduct/breaches of the terms and
conditions of employment misconduct where the associate has previously been warned in writing, where
instant dismissal is not warranted or in situations that warrant by passing the previous step(s).

Step 5- Dismissal
Dismissal may follow when the associate has failed to comply with the final written warning or in cases of serious
misconduct.

All warnings shall be fully documented and placed in associates personnel file

PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS

SOCIAL MEDIA + HOW TO USE IT

When using any social media platform on behalf of Pier One or Marriott, a Marriott affiliate or property or in a way that discloses
your connection with Marriott, you must:
• Not reveal confidential or proprietary information of Marriott, its owners, customers or business partners.
• Comply with applicable law, rules, regulations or ethical constraints.
• Follow all Marriott Policies including the Code of Business Conduct.
• Respect others and not attack or disparage Marriott, customers, vendors, competitors, or other associates, consultants or

RELATIONSHIPS IN THE WORKPLACE

Marriott associates should maintain professional and business like relations with all
associates and all guests at all times. An intimate relationship between individuals

who have a direct or indirect supervisory relationship is inappropriate. If such a
situation develops, the involved associate in the supervisory role must
communicate this fact to his/her manager so that a transfer or

reassignment or alternative arrangements may be considered for either party.
Associates who fail to disclose or are not truthful about their workplace

relationships may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Employment of a family member or relative is encouraged as long as employment
doesn't create a line authority of one family member/relative over the other and

they are not in areas where conflicts of interest are likely to arise.

Marriott International provides a workplace free of favouritism and is committed to
protecting against liabilities associated with intimate personal relationships in the
workplace. Marriott has no desire to interfere with the private lives of its
associates, or their off duty conduct. However, where such conduct impacts the

work environment Marriott reserves the right to take whatever action is appropriate
in its discretion to protect the company's interests.
