Every effort is made to ensure metrics are met during weekend, holidays, and periods of high call volume. Inktel Govern-

Inktel Government BPO Services Staffng Team for Broward County Transit:

Michael Shortino, Site Director (1)
Carlos Escar, Account Executive (1)
Strada Joseph, Corporate Trainer (1)
Justin Knight, Director of Quality Assurance (1)

Schedulers, Dispatchers, and Reservationists (25-40)*
*Headcount of each may vary based on volumes and staffng needed.
b) Describe your plan for recruitment and retention of call reservationists and schedulers.
Our main avenue of recruitment is referrals from current and past employees. We also recruit actively on all major job
boards and in university/college campuses. Regardless of whether or not we have a staffng need at the time, recruiting
is always at the forefront of our minds, as we want to ensure we always have a suffcient pipeline of talent available for
all of our programs. We are keenly aware of the need for the Paratransit program to have staff that is experienced and
knowledgeable in scheduling, dispatch, and reservation activities. Fortunately, we have an experienced staff already
in place. Should additional staff be required, we are confdent through our recruiting efforts that we will be able to fll
those positions accordingly.
To be hired, all candidates must take a drug test, a background check, personality test and a basic skills test (measuring
language and reading comprehension, writing abilities, and fundamental math). In addition, for the Broward County
Paratransit program, we will be testing each potential candidate to ensure they have prior experience in customer service
and/or reservations, scheduling, and dispatch. Agents then go through three rounds of interviews; frst with the HR
department, then with the operations manager and fnally with the Account Executive. If an agent passes these steps,
they then get to enter into training.
During the training process, all new hires are regularly submitted to subject matter exams to test their knowledge. If an
agent does not reach the minimum scores required on these exams, they are not allowed to work on the program.
At Inktel Government BPO Services, we pride ourselves on having a culture focused on employee development. All of
our promotions and salary increases are merit-based. Our ranks are flled with leaders that thrive in an environment that
recognizes and rewards them in accordance to their results, rather than based on factors such as seniority or age. We
also reward our employees with tangible development opportunities such as acceptance into our Inktel Excellence Acad-
emy. Outstanding agents also have a chance to directly impact the direction of the company by making their voice heard
in one of our monthly A Player lunches with the President. We hold many such recognition events monthly, including
an Employee of the Month, and our quarterly STRIVE awards that are bestowed on those who best exhibit the Service,
Tenacity, Responsibility, Integrity, Versatility, and Entrepreneurship Inktel is committed to.

c) Describe your hiring practices and procedures (include procedures for determining English
profciency and sensitivity in working with persons with disabilities), training, safety and
emergency operation procedures.
Hiring Practices
Our Passion for People is more than just a tagline, its the philosophy that drives our competitive advantage and has
minimized our turnover rates to industry lows.
Inktels has one of the most stringent agent hiring processes in the call center industry. Part of our hiring process
includes rigorous screening with a potential employee though pre-screening, personality screening, English profciency,
word comprehension, writing samples and peer-panel screening.
We believe that hiring the right people is so important that Inktel implements a Predictive Index Survey for every
candidate prior to hiring. World-renowned for the results achieved, this software assists Inktel to make intelligent career
placement decisions for all personnel. Having this information prior to placing a person in their role allows Inktel to
place each talented person in a position where they can succeed. The end result is an enthusiastic, happy, productive
employee who enjoys their career and produces maximum program results.
Training, Safety and Emergency Procedures
Following strict training, safety, and quality standards for our associates, we require all agents to complete a training
certifcation process before taking any customer calls. This process includes scoring requirements for tests, quizzes,
simulations, quality forms, attendance, and professionalism. Additionally, each agent is provided complete information
regarding:
Our clients corporate history, objectives, and customer approach standards
Product line(s) and systems, including new product or program features and benefts, competitive products,
and premiums (if applicable)
Communication policies and procedures
Safety and emergency procedures
Program goals
Exceptional circumstances

Our goal is for >90% of hired agents to successfully complete training. Following training, all new agents are continually
tested and graded through call monitoring during a 30-day process. After this 30-day period, employees are monitored
and assessed on an ongoing basis. Any agent falling short of our performance standards receives coaching and additional
training. Agents earning low performance scores are removed from customer contact immediately and face possible
redeployment or termination.
Continuous Training is then done on both a schedule and as-needed basis. Scheduled Trainings are generally done to ad-
dress any trends that have been identifed by the client or our team. Any changes or issues that arise that require training
are scheduled as soon as possible. Informal training is also provided by our Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) on
a one-on-one basis to address any concerns that the QAR might have based on calls they have reviewed for that agent.
These informal sessions are done as soon as possible. Agents also development and coaching from their direct supervi-
sor who is ultimately accountable for their skill level, performance, and level of customer service.
Working with Person with Disabilities
Inktel Government BPO Services has the upmost sensitivity and professionalism when working with persons with dis-
abilities. As we have demonstrated in working with Broward County Transit these last fve years, Inktel Government BPO
Services strives and succeeds at answering each call with respect, professionalism, and sensitivity. Inktel Government
BPO Services will not tolerate any form of discrimination. Agents are trained to assess, accommodate, and assist each caller.
12 Inktel Government BPO Services
Inktel Government BPO Services has formed a strong partnership with the Florida Relay Service. We incorporate their
training materials into our training classes so that agents are accustomed to the special commands and needs used when
taking these calls. This is also a contract requirement for the Miami Dade Public Housing Agency and City of Miami Beach
programs.
d) Describe your plan for monitoring initial and ongoing staff performance, and performing regular
performance reviews.
Performance
Inktel Government BPO Services is committed to meeting the metrics set forth by the County for the Paratransit call
center operations. We have an active and ongoing monitoring and performance review process to ensure these metrics
will be met.
Following Inktels Topgrading and operational best practices, each agent is evaluated monthly and that score rolls up
under four categories:
Performance
Quality
Attendance
Occurrences (dress code violations, tardies, etc.)

Based on the weighting of each category, a GPA is calculated against the agents overall performance and then ranked
accordingly. All agents will be declared an A, B or C Player based on their combined score for the months. A-Players are
exceeding goals, B-Players are meeting goals, and C-Players are underperforming and immediately placed on an Action
Plan. This plan will break down each operational area, and the supervisors and Quality Assurance Coaches will work
closely with the agent to advance them back into B or A status. If an agent is a C Player with no sign of improvement in
their areas of opportunity, they are released from the program.
Monitoring
Inktel Government BPO Services utilizes call recording technology to listen to agent interactions with customers and
assess them accordingly. Supervisors and Quality Assurance Representatives (QARs) are primarily responsible for moni-
toring calls to evaluate the performance of their team of agents. Our supervisors will perform a minimum of two agent
monitors per hour. Our Quality Assurance Representative (QARs) monitor four calls per agent per month.
Monitoring occurs in the following methods:
1. Side-By-Side (or Desk-Side) Monitoring: Side-by-side monitoring is used to give an agent instant feedback and to
help identify problems. In side-by-side monitoring, the supervisor sits next to the agent and can hear and view the entire
exchange between the customer and the agent.
2. Recorded Monitoring: Digital recording is used to allow agents to listen to themselves, which is very helpful in im-
proving agent call performance. All agents are aware of monitoring as being a condition of employment. In this scenario,
agents receive feedback from their grading supervisor within 24 hours of the monitoring session.
2. Reservation Procedures and Protocols:
a) Describe your proposed customer contact, complaint handling and complaint resolution proce-
dures. Include copies of policies that will be used. Describe how you will ensure timely response and
resolution?

providers, the call Center takes the call and enters it into the CTMS, which includes a separate Complaint/
Compliment Module. If a customer calls the Call Center to fle a compliant or compliment regarding the Call
Center service, the call should be forwarded to the County staff. County staff will be responsible for entering
into the CTMS any complaint/compliments regarding the Call Center provider.
b) No preferential treatment is given. Everyone is treated with the same courtesy and respect, whether they are
clients, family members, advocates, caretakers, members of the general public, ect.
c) For each instance in which an agent fails to maintain a professional, courteous attitude towards all clients
and individuals, or fails to promote goodwill towards the general public, including answering to the best of

As Broward County Transits partner for the last fve years, Inktel Government BPO Services utilizes verbiage that has
been approved by the County. Inktel does not adhere to a strict script, except where required, but instead to policies
and procedures that help guide our reservationists in providing optional and effcient customer service. If awarded with
the new contract, Inktel will ensure all verbiage is re-reviewed by the County in case changes are desired.
Should the County to change the verbiage being used actively by the reservationists, Inktel would absolutely comply with
submitting verbiage changes and/or policy changes for the County to review. Once that verbiage has been approved by
the County, Inktel would incorporate this new verbiage into the existing training materials and update existing personnel
as required by holding a refresher training course.
To ensure our agents are following all customer contact guidelines and procedures, our QA team actively monitors and
reviews calls and verifes compliance.
3. Call Center Facility
a) Describe your proposed facility, including a diagram of the proposed layout, with each space

Business Solution Request For Proposal For BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT 15
Guest Offces (A)
There is an offce that is kept for visiting clients. This room allows visiting clients to have a private work area should that
be needed. This room will be available to County staff whenever they choose.
Training Rooms
The training room at the facility will be used for initial program training, refresher courses, new trainings related to up-
dates or changes and for large group meetings. This room has the same equipment that the agents will use when on the
foor to allow for role-play during training. The room is also equipped with overhead projectors and white boards, which
serve as teaching tools through the course of training.
Proposed Work Area (Area Shaded in Red)
There are thirty eight (38) workstations that have been set aside for the Broward County Paratransit Call Center. This area
is located in the bottom left corner of the diagram. This area will allow our operations manager to have all schedulers,
reservationists and customer service agents within sight. The layout is also extremely effcient as all Paratransit support
personnel are in one centralized place, facilitating the transfer of information between personnel. This is the same area
that Inktel has been using to support the Paratransit operations thus far, and we have found it very effcient and optional
for the call center operations for the Paratransit program.
Computer Room
The computer room was built with room to expand to meet future needs. As it stands right now there is plenty of room
available for Broward County to install any equipment necessary (servers, etc.) needed for our agents to access the
CTMS.
Facility Security
The facility has security cameras throughout and requires a swipe card for access.
Workstations
As demonstrated with the existing operation, Inktel has the technical infrastructure at the Tamarac facility to support
the Countys IT requirements including hardware and software. Additionally, the workstations have suffcient space to
accommodate the equipment provided by the County for the call center operations.
4. Telephone Service/ Communications Equipment
a) Describe the equipment requirements that will be used in the performance of this Contract and if
the equipment is currently owned or will be acquired.
b) Describe your proposed telephone system and equipment.
c) Describe how your system will operate during power failures.
d) Include a description of the system capacity and any special features.
e) Describe your plan for maintenance and replacement of communications equipment.
f) Describe your back-up service communication plan. Include the quantity and type of currently
owned or that will be purchased to be purchased.
Inktel has deployed a Hub and Spoke model using the Network Access Point of the Americas (NAP) as its core infrastruc-
ture point service each of its four call centers. Every call center is confgured to ensure that any center can be used as a
backup to the other. This infrastructure is based on the following technology components, all of which is directly owned
by Inktel.
1. Asterisk Open Source PBX Call Processing
2. Inktel Proprietary CRM
3. ACME Packets Session Border Controller for SIP trunk control
4. SOPHOS UTM Firewall and IDS systems
5. DELL Power Edge and R710 redundant Database Servers utilizing Windows 2003 server
and Microsoft SQL 2005 Server database.
16 Inktel Government BPO Services
6. Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e, DELL Optiplex 390 and 380, Windows XP
7. Cisco Enterprise routers 7200 / 3600 (Redundant Power Supplies).
8. Cisco Catalyst Enterprise Layer 3 Core Switches
The NAP of the Americas serves (http://www.terremark.com/data-centers/americas/nap-americas.aspx) as the Main Data
Center hub for all the centers. All sites are located in the western parts of their respective counties and over 15 miles in-
land from the coast. Proximity of the sites allows for easy travel between the sites via major interstate highways but offer
enough distance between them to avoid both locations being simultaneously impacted by a natural disaster.
In the event of a regional natural disaster, our Business Continuance Plan expedites the transfer of business functions
between sites.
All sites have full UPS power back up and disaster recovery sites have additional diesel generator systems. The genera-
tors can be used to run the entire facilities for as long as necessary in the unlikely event of an extended power outage.
Our inbound call routing system is design to handle up to 1,000 simultaneous calls, which is distributed across redun-
dant gigabit handoffs from our telecom carriers. The calls are routed across our fully meshed private MPLS networks to
our various call centers. Our infrastructure is designed so that all systems and network are redundant and can failover
to secondary systems in the event of an equipment failure. We have 24x7 systems and network monitoring in place that
alerts IT staff on issues that may arise and requires immediate attention. All of our system and network equipment is
under manufacturer maintenance plans with 24x7 onsite support with 4-hour response time when necessary. Inktel
already owns this equipment and will not need to purchase additional equipment in order to continue servicing Broward
Countys Paratransit call center operations.

5. Information Systems: Computerized Trip Management System (CTMS)
a) Describe your experience with the computerized transportation scheduling system, ADEPT or any
similar system. Please identify the system(s) your frm has operated.
b) Describe your frms experience with scheduling and providing manifests to remote sites from a
centralized call center.
c) Describe how you will ensure the reliability of your computer hardware, software and local area
network.
d) Describe your proposed computer preventative maintenance and repair plans.

Inktel Government BPO Services has been using the ADEPT system currently used by Broward County since
January, 2010.
Inktel has provided paratransit call center services, including reservations and scheduling, since January, 2010.
In this role, Inktel has served as the centralized call center for the Countys Paratransit operations.
As part of ongoing maintenance, our computer hardware, software, and local area network are always maintained with
the latest operating systems and patch releases. We also employ the latest anti-virus software defnitions and restrict
access to systems and networks based off of the various recommended compliance guidelines. If we have any type of
equipment failure, the system(s) will be failed over to standby systems and replaced with replacement equipment within
24 hours from our various equipment manufacturers maintenance plans.

Business Solution Request For Proposal For BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT 17
E. Severe Weather Response Plan:

1. Provide an emergency plan and procedures that detail your protocol during service interruptions or
suspensions due to severe weather, natural disasters or declaration of a state of emergency.
This is provided in our Disaster Recovery Plan.

F. Implementation Plan/Transition Plan:

1. Provide a proposed Implementation Plan, a proposed Transition Plan at the end of the Contract term,
and provide timelines for each.

Implementation Management is a time-consuming and costly process. Inktel Government BPO Services offers a hassle-
free and seamless integration with Broward County as no signifcant implementation would be required should the
County stay with Inktel as their call center provider for the Paratransit operations.
Inktels current partnership with Broward County Transit would eliminate any implementation process and allow Inktel
to continue providing high-quality contact center solutions without a time-intensive onboarding process.
No timeline has been provided for the implementation plan as no signifcant implementation activities would need to
take place.
Transition Plan at the End of the Contract Term
In step with our proven and documented transition methodology Normandy, which is a compilation of tried-and-true
techniques deployed by our Certifed Project Managers to guide transitions, Inktel will provide a seamless transition-
out process for the County. Inktel will have a dedicated Project Manager and IT resource assigned to ensure that the
program is successfully transitioned to another vendor without signifcant impacts to the County or the Paratransit users.
Inktel will also work with the County to ensure the County has access to Inktels facility for the return of any and all IT
equipment owned by the County.
Inktel will follow the timeline requested by the County to ensure the program is successfully transitioned. Inktel could
execute the transition-out plan in as little as 30 days if needed.
Conclusion
On behalf of the entire Inktel Government BPO Services Team, we want to thank you for the opportunity to continue our
partnership with Broward County Transit.
Appreciating your position of setting the highest standard of excellence for your partners, we do not take that responsi-
bility lightly and will uphold that very mission. Your success is our success, and we welcome the opportunity to continue
our partnership and delivering high-level contact center solutions to Broward County and for the Paratransit program.
As a team, were looking forward to next steps in the rebid process. If you need anything from us, please do not hesitate
to contact us. We are happy to provide you with whatever you need.

2014 Disaster Recovery Plan
GOVERNMENT BPO SERVICES
Section I
I. Overview
Business Continuance Disaster Recovery Plans their risk and exposure to real threats and minimizes the possibility of signifcant
interruption to their operations.
To help minimize the effect of threats on Inktels operations, this document addresses business continuity strategies for
operations that must continue without signifcant interruption in the event of a disaster. Specifcally, our business continuity
plan addresses the following classifcations of threats:
Natural Hurricanes, tornado, food, and fres.
Human Operator error, sabotage, and terrorist attacks.
Environmental Equipment failure, telecommunications network outage, and power failures.
Inktel currently operates call centers at 3 locations. Below is a table listing all of Inktels current call center offces:
Name of Campus Number of Call Centers Total number of stations of all Centers at the Campus
Miami Lakes 1 291
Tamarac 1 232
Doral 1 143
Chicago 1 60
Inktel has deployed a Hub and Spoke model using the Network Access Point of the Americas (NAP) as its core infrastructure
point service each of its four call centers. Every call center is confgured to ensure that any center can be used as a backup to
the other. This infrastructure is based on the following technology components:
1. Asterisk Open Source Call Processing
2. Inktel Proprietary CRM
3. ACME Packets Session Border Controller for SIP trunk control
4. SOPHOS UTM Firewall and IDS systems
5. DELL Power Edge and R710 redundant Database Servers utilizing Windows 2003 server
and Microsoft SQL 2005 Server database.
6. Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e, DELL Optiplex 390 and 380, Windows XP
7. Cisco Enterprise routers 7200 / 3600 (Redundant Power Supplies).
8. Cisco Catalyst Enterprise Layer 3 Core Switches
Section I

2014 Disaster Recovery Plan
GOVERNMENT BPO SERVICES
The NAP of the Americas serves (http://www.terremark.com/data-centers/americas/nap-americas.aspx) as the Main Data Center
hub for all the centers. All sites are located in the western parts of their respective counties and over 15 miles inland from the
coast. Proximity of the sites allows for easy travel between the sites via major interstate highways but offer enough distance
between them to avoid both locations being simultaneously impacted by a natural disaster. In the event of a regional natural
disaster, our Business Continuance Plan expedites the transfer of business functions between sites.
All sites have full UPS power back up and disaster recovery sites have additional diesel generator systems. The generators can
be used to run the entire facilities for as long as necessary in the unlikely event of an extended power outage.
II. Data and Software
NAP of the Americas infrastructure:
Building Features
750,000 square foot, purpose-built datacenter
Tier IV facility with N+2 power and cooling infrastructure
Equipment foors 32 feet above sea level
Roof slope designed to aid in drainage of foodwater in excess of 100-year storm intensity assisted by 18 rooftop
drains
Designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane with approximately 19 million pounds of concrete roof ballast
7 inch thick steel reinforced concrete exterior panels
The building is outside FEMA 500-year designated food zone
Physical Security
The NAP of the Americas has a centrally-located Command Center manned by security personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year. Security personnel monitor all security cameras, guard building entrance and exit access points, and control
key card access to elevators, foors and roof areas. In addition, environmental sensors notify tenants and mobilize rescue in
case of emergency.
Power
The electrical and mechanical systems at the NAP of the Americas represent the most advanced and reliable integrated systems
of their kind, in the world.
100% AC power availability guarantee
Redundant power vaults fed from multiple substations
Two independent 13,200 volt feeders supply the medium voltage switchgear
Increments of 10 AMP or 20 AMP circuit AC CPS-backed power
Increments of DC 20 AMP 48 Volts DC circuit A&B feed
3
2014 Disaster Recovery Plan
GOVERNMENT BPO SERVICES
Section II
Uninterrupted, stable power by 6 HiTEC Continuous Power Systems which provide a transfer time 10 times better
than a typical UPS power system found in most data centers
Each HiTEC unit is rated at 2 megawatts for a total of 12 megawatts of capacity
Environmentals
The following power, environmental, and fre suppression capabilities exist to protect the NAP of the Americas.
Five redundant chilled-water heat exchange systems with 2000 tons of chilled water to cool the building
Humidity maintained at 45% - 55%
Air systems refreshed through fltered vents at four sides of the building
Electronic detection systems for monitoring and maintaining all environmentals
Increments of DC 20 AMP 48 Volts DC circuit A&B feed Smoke and heat sensors provided in: - Col ocat i on
space - Communication equipment rooms - Mechanical and electrical rooms
TotalPac Pre-action dry pipe fre suppression system which holds water outside of the building until a fre is
verifed, ensuring that water will not accidentally drain into equipment areas
Temperature continuously kept at 72F 5F
The power and environmental systems at the NAP of the Americas are so advanced that technicians can perform maintenance
on any element of systems without impacting operations. This design allows us to deliver an unprecedented 100% availability
guarantee for all power and environmental systems.
The requirement for disaster recovery includes the backup and safe storage of software applications used by TSRs and
Management to operate the programs.

The back-up process and schedule is outlined below:
Data stored on the NAS appliance will be regularly backed up as follows:
Incremental backup daily (Mon.-Fri.) and data located on-site.
Full back-up weekly (Sat.) and data located off-site.
Exchange Mailbox stores will be regularly backed up as follows:
Full back-up daily (Mon.-Fri.) and data located on-site.
Full back-up weekly (Sat.) and data located off-site.
Windows Servers (not in DMZ) will be regularly backed up as follows:
Incremental backup daily (Mon.-Fri.) and data stored on-site.
Full back-up weekly (Sat.) and data located off-site.
Virtual Machine Servers will have its VM data drive regularly backed up as follows:
Image backups of virtual machines will be taken on Tuesday and Thursday. These backup fles will be
stored on-site.
Weekly fle and folder full backup will be taken on Sunday. These backup fles will be stored off-site.

GOVERNMENT BPO SERVICES
Section III - V

III. Data Restoration
In the event of a catastrophic system failure, backed up data will be made available to users within 3 working days if the
destroyed equipment has been replaced by that time.
In the event of a non-catastrophic system failure or user error, on-site backed up data will be made available to users within 1
working day.
Restoration Requests
In the event of accidental deletion or corruption of information, requests for restoration of information will be made to the
Information Technology department.
IV. Backup Power
Inktel has installed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems at all locations. These systems ensure that short-term power
outages do not disrupt Inktels operations. The UPS systems power critical systems which allow work to continue without
interruption.
Inktel has identifed the Miami Lakes and Tamarac sites as primary centers for inbound call center activity. Enough fuel is kept
at both locations to run for approximately 72 hours and contracts are in place with fuel providers to ensure we are supplied
quickly.
In the Doral location, Inktel has contracted with a standby power company to supply a portable 150KVA generator.
The generator systems are tested weekly. The generator systems are put into full production use to ensure that no loss of
power occurs. After each test a report is issued identifying any faults. Problems are immediately escalated to the UPS and
generator support companies. Problem resolution is tested within one week to verify that the fault has been resolved.
V. Telecommunications
Inktel has multiple telecommunications providers. Inktels voice services come from Windstream and CenturyLink via SIP
connectivity to the NAP. Our telephony infrastructure allows any agent from any facility to access phone services. In the event
that one facility is not accessible, critical programs can be managed from another facility. Agents could be transported from
one site to another to ensure continued operations.
5
2014 Disaster Recovery Plan
GOVERNMENT BPO SERVICES
Section VI - VIII
VI. Data Networking
Inktels data networking infrastructure is based on TCP/IP, and Cisco Enterprise Layer 3 Switches & Routers for traffc
management within a location, between locations, to the Internet, or to our Clients private networks (Intranets).

Within each center we utilize Multiple Layer 3 core switches to separate network traffc into sub-networks, to improve
performance.
Inktel maintains high-speed redundant connections with 2 different carriers to the data center from all locations. Firewalls
are installed at the data center to ensure secure, managed access to the Internet. Our network connectivity is provided by
CenturyLink and Fiberlight. An automatic failover routing protocol is in place should our primary carrier suffer a loss of
connectivity within any portion of the network.
VII. Physical Site Backup Plan
Inktel maintains technical infrastructures at each of its call centers. Therefore, any center could serve as an emergency backup
to any other center. Due to the proximity between the sites, agents can travel between sites within one hour of any outage.
We closely monitor excess capacity in all centers, and use this information to determine which sites are going to be used as
backup facilities in the case of a signifcant outage.
VIII. Personnel and their Responsibilities
Inktel has an Emergency Management Team (EMT), responsible for keeping track of all issues relating to disaster recovery,
including excess physical capacity, excess telecommunications capacity and other factors key to determining where a project
would be relocated in the case of an emergency.
In the event of an approaching storm:
The Team will meet via Conference Bridge every 12 hours at 9AM and 9PM (based on a storm which is 48 hours away).
The team will meet via Conference Bridge every 6 hours at 9AM, 3PM, 9PM, SKIP 3AM, 9AM (Based on a storm that is less
than 36 hours away).
Primary conference bridge (267) 507-0240 passcode: 914994 leader code 5337.
Storm Tracking - http://www.intellicast.com/ or http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/.
Complete advisories are scheduled for 11AM, 5PM, 11PM.
Intermediate advisories are scheduled for 8AM, 2PM, 8PM.
The employee hotline communicated to all employees and will be updated daily at 9am and 4pm until the storm passes.
Employee hotline - 866-622-8272.

Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Welcome to Inktel!
On behalf of your colleagues, I welcome you and wish you every success here.
We believe that each employee contributes directly to our growth and success, and we
hope you will take pride in being a member of our team.
This handbook outlines the policies, programs, and benefts available to eligible
employees. It was also developed to describe some of the expectations we have of our
employees. The employee handbook will answer many questions about employment
with Inktel so I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the contents of the employee
handbook as soon as possible.
We hope that your experience here will be challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. Again,
welcome!
Sincerely,

J. Ricky Arriola
CEO

Introduction 6
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
STATEMENT OF AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT
All employees at Inktel Contact Center Solutions (Inktel) are employed on an at-will basis. At Will
means that both Inktel and the Employee have the right to terminate the employment relationship at
any time, for any lawful reason, with or without prior notice or cause.
This Employee Handbook is intended to make the mutual at will relationship perfectly clear and to
make clear that no employee has any express or implied contract limiting his or her right to resign or
Inktels right to terminate his or her employment at any time, with or without prior notice or cause.
Nothing in this Handbook shall modify this at will relationship. The at will relationship cannot be
changed by any person, statements or acts other than an express individual written employment
agreement signed by the Chief Executive Offcer of Inktel and you. This handbook does not modify or in
any way limit the at-will nature of the employment relationship. It is important that Employees under-
stand and accept this relationship as an integral part of their employment with the company.
.................................................................................................................................
PURPOSE OF EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
This handbook is designed to acquaint you with Inktel and provide you with information about working
conditions, employee benefts, and some of the policies affecting your employment.

You should read, understand, and comply with all provisions of the handbook. The handbook describes
many of your responsibilities as an employee and outlines the programs we have developed to beneft
our employees.
No Employee Handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about every one of our policies.
This Handbook serves as a set of guidelines for you, and is not all-inclusive. Inktel always reserves
the right, on a case-by-case basis, to interpret its stated or usual policies, practices and procedures.
Furthermore, there may be situations where the need arises for us to revise, add, or cancel policies.
Therefore, Inktel also reserves the right to add new policies, and to change or cancel existing polices at
any time. The only exception is that our employment at will policy will not be changed or cancelled. As
explained above, the employment at will policy permits you or Inktel to end the employment relation-
ship at any time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to the handbook as they occur. To the
extent that any federal, state, or local law affords greater protection or benefts, that law will apply.
If you have any questions about this Handbook or any of the policies herein, please see your supervisor
or contact the Human Resource Department.
Introduction 7
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Section 1 Employment
101 EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
We believe that the work conditions, wages, and benefts we offer to Inktel employees are competitive
with those offered by other employers in this area and in this industry. If you have concerns about work
conditions or compensation, you are strongly encouraged to voice these concerns openly and directly to
your supervisor.
Our experience has shown that when employees deal openly and directly with their supervisors, the
work environment can be excellent, communications can be clear, and attitudes can be positive. We
believe that Inktel amply demonstrates its commitment to employees by responding effectively to
employee concerns.
.................................................................................................................................
102 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
Inktel is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions on the basis of merit. No
person shall be discriminated against in employment because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, marital status, citizenship status, age, national origin, disability, handicap, ancestry,
veteran status, military status, or another status or condition protected by federal, state, or local laws.
In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment
decisions at Inktel will be administered in accordance with these principles and will be based on merit,
qualifcations, and abilities.
We will make reasonable accommodations for qualifed individuals with known disabilities if such
disability substantially limits a major life activity, unless doing so would result in an undue hardship or
unless otherwise appropriate under applicable laws. Any qualifed applicant or employee who requires
such an accommodation in order to perform the essential functions of the job should contact the
Human Resources Department and request such an accommodation. The individual with the disability
should specify what accommodation he or she believes is needed to perform the job. The company will
review the matter and determine what, if any, action is appropriate.
This policy covers all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation,
promotion, demotion, transfer, lay-offs, leaves of absence, discipline, termination, and access to
benefts and training.
Section 1 Employment 8
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If you have a question or concern about any type of discrimination in the workplace, you are
encouraged to bring the issue to the attention of your supervisor or the Human Resources Department.
At Inktel, be assured that you can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal.
Additionally, anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
.................................................................................................................................
103 BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT
The successful business operation and reputation of Inktel is built upon the principles of fair dealing
and ethical conduct of our employees. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful
observance of the spirit and letter of all applicable laws and regulations, as well as a scrupulous
regard for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity.
Our continued success is dependent upon our clients trust, and we are dedicated to preserving that
trust. Employees owe a duty to Inktel, our clients, and shareholders to act in ways that will merit the
continued trust and confdence of the public.
It is impossible to list all forms of conduct that might be considered inappropriate. Certain behaviors,
such as theft and fraud; fghting; threats of violence; violation of the Drug Free Workplace Policy;
insubordination; destroying and falsifying Company records; and violation of anti-trust, environmental
or other government compliance regulations are clearly unacceptable in the workplace.
As an organization, Inktel will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and we expect our
directors, offcers, and employees to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent
of all relevant laws and to refrain from any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.
In general, you should fnd that using good judgment, based on high ethical principles, will guide you
to act appropriately. If you are unsure about the proper course of action, you should discuss the matter
openly with your supervisor. If necessary, you may also contact the Human Resources Department for
advice and consultation.
It is the responsibility of every Inktel employee to comply with our policy of business ethics and
conduct. Disregarding or failing to comply with this standard of business ethics and conduct could
lead to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment.
Section 1 Employment 9
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
104 PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE WORKPLACE
The employment of relatives or individuals involved in a dating relationship in the same area of
an organization may cause serious conficts and problems with favoritism and employee morale.
In addition to claims of partiality in treatment at work, personal conficts from outside the work
environment can be carried over into day-to-day working relationships.
For purposes of this policy, a relative is defned as any person who is related to you by blood or
marriage, or whose relationship with you is similar to that of a relative. A dating relationship is defned
as a relationship that may be reasonably expected to lead to the formation of a consensual romantic
or sexual relationship. This policy applies to all employees regardless of their gender or sexual
orientation.
You may not occupy a position that works directly for or supervises a relative. You may not be involved
in a dating relationship with an employee who either works directly for you or supervises you. Inktel
also reserves the right to take prompt action if an actual or potential confict of interest arises
involving relatives or individuals involved in a dating relationship who occupy positions at any level
(higher or lower) in the same line of authority that might affect the review of employment decisions.
If two people who are in a reporting situation described above subsequently develop a relative
relationship or dating relationship, the person in the relationship who is the supervisor is responsible
and obligated to disclose the existence of the relationship to management. We will then ask the
individuals involved to decide which one of them is to be transferred to another available position.
If that decision is not made within 30 calendar days, Inktel will decide who is to be transferred or, if
necessary, terminated from employment.
If there a situation where a confict or the potential for confict arises because of the relationship
between employees, even if there is no line of authority or reporting involved, the employees may be
separated by reassignment or terminated from employment. If you are in a close personal relationship
with another employee, you shall refrain from displays of affection or excessive personal conversation
at work.
Section 1 Employment 10
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Upon being informed of or learning of such a relationship, upper management retains the discretion to
take any appropriate steps necessary to address the situation, including reassignment or termination
of employment, if, in its reasonable judgment, upper management believes that the relationship
could cause a confict of interest, impede the judgment of the employee in the performance of his
or her duties, or have any type of detrimental effect on the Company/Client relationship. Failure of
the employee to disclose the relationship as specifed herein can lead to corrective action, up to and
including termination.
.................................................................................................................................
105 IMMIGRATION LAW COMPLIANCE
Inktel is committed to employing only United States citizens and aliens who are legally authorized to
work in the United States. We also do not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of citizenship or national
origin.
In order for us to comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), all new
employees, as a condition of employment, must complete the Employment Eligibility Verifcation Form
I-9 and provide documentation that establishes their identity and eligibility for employment. Former
employees who are subsequently rehired must also complete a new I-9 and provide appropriate
documentation.
If you have questions or want more information on immigration law issues, you are encouraged to
contact the Human Resources Department. You can raise questions or complaints about immigration
law compliance without fear of reprisal.
.................................................................................................................................
106 DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS
Inktel is committed to complying fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ensuring
equal opportunity in employment for qualifed persons with disabilities.
All employment practices and activities are conducted on a non-discriminatory basis. Our hiring
procedures have been reviewed and provide persons with disabilities meaningful employment
opportunities. Pre-employment inquiries are made only regarding an applicants ability to perform the
duties of the position.
Section 1 Employment 11
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
We require post-offer medical examinations only for positions that have bona fde job-related physical
requirements. An examination will be given to any person who enters the position but only after being
given a conditional job offer. Medical records are kept separate and confdential.
Employees who require reasonable accommodation to apply for transfers or promotions or to
perform the essential function of their jobs are responsible to notify their supervisor and the Human
Resource Department. Employees who believe that they have been discriminated against because
of their disability may complain to the Human Resource Department. All complaints will be properly
investigated. The information obtained in the course of the investigation will be held in confdence
to the degree possible consistent with a thorough investigation and will only be disclosed to those
individuals who have a need for the information.
A qualifed applicant or employee who requires such an accommodation in order to perform the
essential functions of the job should notify his or her supervisor or the Human Resource Department.
Once an employee has asked for an accommodation, Inktel may ask the employee what type of
accommodation is needed, how long it will be needed, what is the nature of the medical condition,
and what limitations exist. Inktel may require the employee to provide documentation of the disability
including a doctors statement.

Inktel seeks to reasonably accommodate qualifed individuals with disabilities. Generally, such
reasonable accommodations will be made unless it creates an undue hardship for Inktel. The facts to
be considered with respect undue hardship include but are not limited to the following: (1) the nature
and cost of the accommodation; (2) the overall fnancial resources of Inktel; (3) the impact on the
operation of Inktel, including its impact on the ability of other employees to perform their duties and on
Inktels ability to conduct business.
We make all employment decisions based on the merits of the situation in accordance with defned
criteria, not the disability of the individual. Qualifed individuals with disabilities are entitled to equal
pay and other forms of compensation (or changes in compensation) as well as job assignments,
classifcations, organizational structures, and position descriptions. We make leaves available to all
employees on an equal basis.
Inktel is also committed to not discriminating against any qualifed employee or applicant because the
person is related to or associated with a person with a disability. Inktel will follow any state or local
law that provides individuals with disabilities greater protection than the ADA.
Section 1 Employment 12
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
All employees are required to comply at all times with Inktels policy regarding the use of drugs and
other applicable federal, state and local laws.
This policy is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Inktel is committed to taking all other actions necessary
to ensure equal employment opportunity for persons with disabilities in accordance with the ADA and
all other applicable federal, state, and local laws.
.................................................................................................................................
107 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
As an employee of Inktel, you have the obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit
actual or potential conficts of interest. In this policy, Inktel is establishing the framework within which
we wish to operate. These guidelines are intended to provide a general direction so that you can get
further clarifcation on areas that affect you. For more information or questions on confict of interest,
please contact the Human Resources department.
All transactions with frms outside Inktel must be conducted within the framework established and
controlled by the executive level of Inktel. Business dealings with outside frms should not result
in unusual gains for those frms. Unusual gains refers to bribes, product bonuses, special fringe
benefts, unusual price breaks, and other windfalls designed to ultimately beneft the employer, the
employee, or both. Promotional plans that could be interpreted to involve unusual gain require specifc
executive-level approval.
A confict of interest occurs when an outside activity is, or appears to be, incompatible with an
employees responsibility to his or her employer. An employee not behaving objectively is not fulflling
his or her obligation to the Company (Inktel).
Conficts of interest appear in a variety of forms, some of which include, but are not limited to, the
following:
Section 1 Employment 13
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
1. Giving or receiving gifts that may infuence decision-making or are being given with the intent
to infuence decision-making.
2. Improper dealings with clients, customers, and/or vendors.
3. Outside employment-when it competes with, or diverts, the employees attention from the
Company (Inktel)
4. Personal use of Inktels assets and resources. The use of Inktel equipment after working hours
without prior approval from Management.
5. Misuse of infuence
6. Using or revealing confdential information
7. Using Company time and resources for personal gain
A violation of this policy will result in immediate and appropriate corrective action, up to and including
termination. Any employee who suspects that another employee is engaging in a confict of interest
should report any such activity to the Human Resources Department.

There is no presumption of guilt created by the mere existence of a relationship with outside frms.
However, if you have any infuence on transactions involving purchases, contracts, or leases, it is
imperative that you disclose this fact to an offcer of Inktel as soon as possible. By alerting us to
the existence of any actual or even a potential confict of interest, we can establish safeguards to
protect all parties. The potential for personal gain is not limited to situations where an employee or
relative has a signifcant ownership in a frm with which Inktel does business. Personal gains can
also result from situations where an employee or relative receives a kickback, bribe, tip, substantial
gift, entertainment, or special consideration exceeding $100 in value, as a result of a transaction or
business dealings involving Inktel.
.................................................................................................................................
108 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT
Inktel employees may hold outside jobs as long as they can satisfactorily perform their Inktel job and
there is no interference with our scheduling demands.
All employees will be held to the same standards of performance and scheduling expectations,
regardless of any outside job. If we determine that outside work is impacting your performance or
the ability to meet our requirements, which may change over time, you will be asked to terminate the
outside job in order to stay employed at Inktel.
Section 1 Employment 14
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
From time to time, employees may be required to work beyond their normally scheduled hours.
Employees must perform this work when requested. In cases of confict with any outside activity, the
employees obligation to Inktel must be given priority. Employees are hired and continue in Inktels
employ with the understanding that Inktel is their primary employer and that other employment
or commercial involvement, which is in confict with the business interests of Inktel, is strictly
prohibited.
Employees must notify their immediate supervisor and the Human Resource Department to disclose
any outside employment. If your outside employment has an adverse impact on Inktel, it will be
considered a confict of interest and may be subject to termination.
.................................................................................................................................
109 NON-DISCLOSURE
It is vital to the interests and success of Inktel that we protect our confdential business information
and trade secrets. Confdential information includes, but is not limited to, the following examples:
Compensation data (salary, bonuses & other benefts)
Computer processes, programs and codes
Client lists and client preferences
Client data (contact information, pricing, processes and other proprietary information)
Financial information
Labor relations strategies
Marketing strategies
New materials research
Pending projects and proposals
Proprietary production processes
Research and development strategies
Technological data and prototypes
Nature of client relationship and Inktels business relationships
You may be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement as a condition of your employment. If you are not
sure if information is confdential or proprietary, you must incline towards confdentiality.
Because we consider security breaches very serious, if you improperly use or disclose trade secrets
or confdential business information, you will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of employment and legal action, even if you do not actually beneft from the disclosed
information.
Section 1 Employment 15
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If you separate from Inktel, you must not disclose confdential information in your new job. Failure
to fully comply with these guidelines may result in damage to Inktel and may require Inktel to take
appropriate administrative or legal action and defend Inktel to protect the business.
.................................................................................................................................
110 INTERNAL APPLICANTS, JOB POSTINGS, AND EMPLOYEE REFERRALS
In general, we post all regular, full-time job openings, although Inktel reserves its right to not post a
particular opening.
To apply for an open position, submit a job posting application to the Human Resources Department
listing your job-related skills and accomplishments. You should also describe how your current
experience with Inktel and prior work experience and/or education qualifes you for the position.
To apply for an open position, you must be in good standing meaning no corrective actions within
the previous six months. You must also meet the minimum requirement of having worked for Inktel
for at least six months in your current position. To begin the process, you would frst notify your direct
manager of your interest in applying for the opportunity. Once it has been cleared by your manager, you
would submit an updated resume including your current job responsibilities at Inktel and educational
history to the Talent Acquisition department. In addition, you must apply for the opportunity online via
our Careers web page.
We recognize the beneft of developmental experiences and encourage you to talk with your supervisor
and/or manager about your career plans. We also encourage supervisors and managers to support
employees efforts to gain experience and advance within Inktel.
After you apply for a job, your supervisor will be contacted to verify your performance, skills, and
attendance. Any staffng limitations or other circumstances that might affect a prospective transfer
may also be discussed.
Job posting is a way to inform employees of openings and to identify qualifed and interested
applicants who might not otherwise be known to the hiring manager. We may also use other recruiting
sources to fll open positions when it is in the best interest of the organization.
Section 1 Employment 16
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Inktel also encourages you to identify friends or acquaintances who are interested in employment
opportunities and to refer qualifed outside applicants for posted jobs. You should frst obtain
permission from the individual before making a referral. You should also share your knowledge of the
organization with the person and not make commitments or promises of employment.
You should notify the person you are referring that they should include your name when they go through
the online application process so that you qualify for the referral bonus. If the person you referred
is hired, you will be notifed, and eligible to receive $150 once the new hire has reached 90 days of
successful employment with Inktel.
.................................................................................................................................
111 EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION PROCESS
Termination of employment is an inevitable part of personnel activity within any organization, and
many of the reasons for termination are routine. These are some of the most common circumstances
for employment terminations:
Resignation - voluntary employment termination initiated by an employee
Discharge - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization
Layoff - involuntary employment termination initiated by the organization for non-disciplinary
reasons
We will generally schedule an exit interview at the time of employment termination. The exit interview
is an opportunity to discuss such issues as employee benefts, conversion privileges, repayment of
any outstanding debt to Inktel, or return of Inktel-owned property. It is also a time for you to voice any
suggestions, complaints, and questions you may have.
Since employment with Inktel is based on mutual consent, either you or Inktel have the right to
terminate the employment relationship at will, with or without cause or advance notice, at any time.
Your benefts are affected by termination in several ways. All accrued, vested benefts that are due and
payable at termination will be paid out. Some benefts may be continued at your expense if you choose.
You will be notifed in writing of the benefts that may be continued and of the terms, conditions, and
limitations for continuing them.
Section 1 Employment 17
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Medical, dental, and vision benefts are effective through the end of the month from your effective
date of termination. All other benefts such as Life and Disability insurance may be continued at your
expense. Your 401K benefts may also roll-over into an IRA and/or you may choose to withdraw the
funds upon your termination of employment.
.................................................................................................................................
112 RESIGNATION PROCESS
Resignation is defned as a voluntary act initiated by an employee to terminate employment with Inktel.
We request a resigning employee submit a written notice of resignation at least two weeks in advance.
Before an employee leaves, we may schedule an exit interview to better understand the reasons for
resignation and to go over any resulting beneft changes.
.................................................................................................................................
Section 2 Employment Status & Records
201 EMPLOYMENT CATEGORIES
Understanding the defnitions of the employment classifcations at Inktel is important because your
classifcation is one of the factors that determine your employment status and beneft eligibility. These
classifcations do not guarantee employment for any specifed period of time. Since employment with

The best communications about job performance happen on a day-to-day basis. You and your
supervisor are strongly encouraged to talk about performance regularly. These discussions give
you both the opportunity to discuss job responsibilities and goals, set expectations of the position,

overview of the jobs purpose); essential duties and responsibilities; supervisory responsibilities;
qualifcations (including education and/or experience, language skills, reasoning ability, and any
certifcation required); physical demands; and work environment.
We use the job descriptions to help new employees understand their job duties and to set standards for
employee performance evaluations. Job descriptions are also used to identify the requirements of each
position, establish hiring criteria, and establish a basis for making reasonable accommodations for
individuals with disabilities.
The Talent Acquisition Department and the hiring manager prepare job descriptions when new
positions are created. Existing job descriptions are also reviewed and revised in order to ensure that
they are up-to-date. Job descriptions may also be rewritten periodically to refect any changes in the
positions duties and responsibilities.

refect the requirements and responsibilities of their positions and are comparable to the pay received
by similarly situated employees in other organizations in the area.
Section 2 Employment Status & Records 22

Section 3 Employee Beneft Programs 24
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If an eligible nonexempt employee works on a recognized holiday, the employee will receive pay for the
hours worked, in addition to holiday pay at regular base rate for the hours worked on the holiday.
Paid time off for holidays will not be counted as hours worked for the purposes of determining
overtime.
.................................................................................................................................
303 PAID TIME OFF (PTO)
Inktel provides Paid Time Off (PTO) for eligible employees to use for vacation, illness or injury, and
personal business. Paid Time Off combines traditional vacation and sick leave plans into one fexible,
paid time-off policy. Employees in the following employment classifcations are eligible to earn and use
PTO:
Regular full-time EXEMPT employees
Regular full-time NONEXEMPT employees
Once you enter full-time status, you begin to earn PTO according to the schedules shown below.
However, before you can use PTO, you must complete a waiting period that begins on the date of hire.
If your hire date is in one of the following months, the waiting period is 90 days:
o January, February, March, April, May, September, October, November, December
If your hire date is in June, the waiting period is 60 days.
If your hire date is in July or August, the waiting period is 30 days.
After the waiting period, you can request to use earned PTO, including PTO that accrued during the
waiting period.
EXEMPT: The amount of PTO you receive each year increases with the length of your employment as
shown in the following schedule:
Upon initial eligibility, the employee is entitled to 15 PTO days each year, accrued every pay
period at a rate of 5 hours per pay period. The frst year is prorated from date of hire.
After 5 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 20 PTO days each year, accrued
every pay period at a rate of 6.66 hours per pay period.
Section 3 Employee Beneft Programs 25
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
After 10 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 25 PTO days each year, accrued
every pay period at a rate of 8.33 hours per pay period.
NONEXEMPT: The amount of PTO you receive each year increases with the length of your employment
as shown in the following schedule:
Upon initial eligibility the employee is entitled to 10 PTO days each year, accrued every pay
period at a rate of 3.33 hours per pay period. The frst year is prorated from date of hire.
After 5 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 15 PTO days each year, accrued
every pay period at a rate of 5 hours per pay period.
After 10 years of eligible service the employee is entitled to 20 PTO days each year, accrued
every pay period at a rate of 6.66 hours per pay period.
The length of eligible service is calculated on the basis of the 12-month PTO calendar, which begins on
September 1st of each year and ends on the following August 31st. Military leave has no effect on the
beneft year calculation. See the leave of absence policies in this handbook for more information.
You may use PTO in minimum increments of one-half day. Any time off exceeding one day requires
a two-week advance notice and approval from your supervisor. If you have an unexpected need to
be absent from work, you should notify your supervisor as soon as you know that you will be absent,
but no later than one hour prior to the start of your shift. Your supervisor must also be contacted on
each additional day of unexpected absence. If you are absent for three days or more as a result of an
illness, you will be required to submit a doctors note indicating that you are cleared for work prior to
returning to work.
To schedule planned PTO, you should frst request advance approval from your supervisor. Each
request will be reviewed based on a number of factors, including our business needs and staffng
requirements.
On a limited, case-by-case basis, PTO may be requested in advance of the time being earned. This is
done on an exception basis, and is at the supervisors sole discretion to grant. No more than one week
may be requested in advance.
PTO is paid at your base pay rate at the time of the absence. It does not include overtime or any special
forms of compensation such as incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials.
Section 3 Employee Beneft Programs 26
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
As an additional condition of eligibility for PTO, if you are on an extended absence for illness or injury,
you must apply for any other available compensation and benefts, such as workers compensation.
PTO will be used to supplement any payments that you are eligible to receive from state disability
insurance, workers compensation, or Inktel-provided disability insurance programs. The combination
of any such disability payments and PTO may not exceed your normal weekly earnings.
In the event that you do not use your available PTO by the end of the PTO calendar year, you will forfeit
the unused PTO.
If your employment terminates, you will be paid for any unused PTO that has been earned through your
last day of work.
.................................................................................................................................
304 TIME OFF TO VOTE
Inktel encourages you to fulfll your civic responsibilities by voting in elections. Generally, we expect
that you will be able to vote either before or after work hours.

ten working days prior to an election day.
To qualify for the paid time off, we ask that you show your voters receipt to your supervisor on the frst
working day after the election.

shift differentials.
We will normally grant bereavement leave unless there are unusual business needs or staffng
requirements that prevent accommodating the request. You may also, with supervisory approval, use
any available paid leave benefts, such as paid time off for additional time off as necessary.
The bereavement leave policy defnes immediate family as your spouse, parent, child, or sibling

in an eligible classifcation may request up to one week of paid jury duty leave over any two-year
period. Employees must provide court documents confrming their attendance for jury duty.

arrangements can be made to accommodate your possible absence from work. You are expected to
report for work whenever the court schedule permits.

be relieved from serving on jury duty if we believe that your absence would cause serious operational
diffculties for Inktel.

It is critical that you inform your supervisor immediately about any work-related injury or illness,
regardless of how minor it might appear at the time. Immediate reporting ensures that, if eligible, you

Section 4 Leaves of Absence
Please contact the Human Resources Department if you need to take time off from work in excess
of your accrued PTO allowance. You must submit your request in writing to the Human Resources
Department outlining the reason for your leave, the date you will be leaving, and the date you will be
returning to work. You must report to the Human Resources Department that you are available for work

401 FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE
Inktel provides family and medical leave in accordance with applicable law, including the Family and
Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Eligible employees
are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave in a rolling 12-month period for one of the
following reasons: birth of a child; to care for a newborn child, placement with the employee of a child
for adoption or foster care; to care for a member of the employees immediate family (parent, child or
spouse), with a serious health condition; or for the employees own serious health condition.
An eligible employee is one who has been employed for at least 12 months and has provided at least
1,250 hours of service during that period measured immediately preceding the commencement of the
leave.
Leave does not necessarily have to be taken all at once. Under certain circumstances, leave may be
taken on an intermittent basis (e.g., one week per month) or on a reduced schedule basis (four or
fve hours per day). For the birth, adoption, or foster care of a child, Inktel and the employee must
mutually agree to the schedule before the employee may take the leave intermittently or work a
reduced schedule. Leave for birth, adoption or foster care of a child must be taken within one year of
the birth or placement of the child. If your spouse is also employed by Inktel, as a couple you may be
restricted to a combined total of 12 weeks leave within any 12 month period for childbirth, adoption, or
placement of a foster child, or to care for a parent with a serious health condition.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 34
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If an employees request for intermittent leave is foreseeable based on planned medical treatment, the
employee may be required to transfer temporarily to an alternative position (with equivalent pay and
benefts) in order to better accommodate repeated periods of absence.
Employees are to give 30-days written notice for leave taken for the birth or adoption of a child,
assuming the employee is able to give such notice; if not, the employee must give such notice as is
practicable. For leave taken on the basis of planned medical treatment, employees should seek to
schedule the treatment so as to avoid disrupting the operations of Inktel.
Employees are required to exhaust any remaining Paid Time Off concurrently with Family and Medical
Leave Act Leave.
Leave taken on the basis of an employees serious health condition requires the employee to provide
a health care providers certifcation of the condition and of the inability to perform the required job
functions. Such certifcation is also required for leave where the purpose of the leave is for the serious
health condition of a family member. Failure to provide the requested certifcation in a timely manner
may result in denial of the leave until it is provided. You are responsible for telling us about any
subsequent changes to that information.
In the case of intermittent leave, this certifcation must also provide the dates and durations of the
treatments to be given. Inktel has the right to seek a second opinion at its expense. Failure to provide
the requested medical certifcation in a timely manner may result in denial of the leave until it is
provided.
An employee returning from approved family and medical leave will be restored to the position held
when the leave commenced, or to an equivalent position [unless, the employee meets the defnition of
a key employee of Inktel]. Employees who are key employees will be told of that status at the time
they request the leave. To help us plan for your return from leave, Inktel requests at least two weeks
notice before your expected return date.
Before the employee returns to work from FMLA leave for the employees own serious health condition,
the employee is required to submit a ftness for duty certifcation from the employees health care
provider, with respect to the condition for which the leave was taken, stating that the employee is able
to resume work. An employee failing to provide a ftness for duty certifcation will not be permitted to
resume work until it is provided.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 35
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Performance reviews due while an employee is on FMLA will be conducted if and when the employee
returns to work. Upon the employees return to work, any increase, if applicable, will be retroactive to
the frst pay of the month following the employees anniversary date.
All applicable health benefts continue during the approved family and medical leave subject to the
appropriate employee payroll deductions and the terms and limitations of the applicable plans. Other
beneft accruals, such as vacation, sick leave, or holiday benefts, will be suspended during a medical
leave and will resume when you return to active employment.
If you do not report back to work promptly at the end of a medical leave, we will assume that you have
resigned and your employment will be terminated.
.................................................................................................................................
402 PREGNANCY-RELATED ABSENCES
Inktel will not discriminate against any employee who requests an excused absence for medical
disabilities associated with pregnancy. We will evaluate such leave requests according to the medical
leave policy provisions outlined in this handbook and all applicable federal and state laws.
If you request time off for a pregnancy or childbirth reason (such as bonding or child care) that is not
related to a medical disability for those conditions, we will treat the request in the same way as we
would consider a request for unpaid family leave.
.................................................................................................................................
403 LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Under special circumstances, full-time and part-time regular employees who have completed one year
of employment may be granted a leave of absence without pay. The granting of this type of leave is
normally for compelling reasons and is dependent upon the written approval of your supervisor.
Leaves may not exceed 30 days during which time no benefts will accrue. Leaves of absence are
granted only after earned vacation and PTO is exhausted.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 36
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
To the extent allowed by the insurance provider, we will continue to provide medical insurance, dental
insurance and vision care insurance coverage for employees on an authorized leave of absence, up to a
maximum of one month. During this time you will be responsible for paying your portion of the monthly
premium(s).
We will make reasonable efforts to return you to the same or similar job you held prior to the leave of
absence, subject to our staffng and business requirements.

404 DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE LEAVE
An employee who has been employed by the company for three or more months and who is the victim
of domestic or sexual violence, or whose family member or a member of their household is a victim of
domestic or sexual violence, shall be permitted to take up to three working days of unpaid leave in any
12-month period. Such leave must be used to: 1) obtain or attempt to obtain judicial relief such as a

member of the employees household.
The company will hold the employees information provided to the company in order to request leave
in confdence, except to the extent that disclosure is: (1) requested or consented to in writing by the
employee; or (2) otherwise required by applicable federal or state law.
Affected employees must exhaust all other accrued paid or unpaid leave (including family, medical,
sick, annual, personal or similar leave) for the time off allowed under this policy. This leave will run
concurrently with any other applicable leave.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 37
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
405 UNIFORMED SERVICE LEAVE
Inktel will grant a military leave of absence to employees who are absent from work because they
are serving in the U.S. uniformed services in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). You are required to give your supervisor advance notice
of upcoming military service, unless military necessity prevents advance notice or it is otherwise
impossible or unreasonable. The military leave will be unpaid. However, you may use any available
accrued paid time off, such as vacation or sick leave, for the absence.

Continuation of health insurance benefts is available as required by USERRA based on the length of
the leave and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the applicable plans for which you are
otherwise eligible.
Beneft accruals, such as vacation, sick leave, or holiday benefts, will be suspended during a military
leave and will resume when you return to active employment.
Employees returning to work after military leave must return to work within the specifed time frames
set forth in USERRA.
When you return from military leave (depending on the length of military service in accordance with
USERRA), you will be placed either in the position you would have attained if you had remained
continuously employed or in a comparable position. For the purpose of determining benefts that are
based on length of service, you will be treated as if you had been continuously employed.
If you have questions about military leave, contact the Human Resources Department for more
information.

Section 4 Leaves of Absence 38
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
406 MILITARY FAMILY LEAVE ENTITLEMENTS
MILITARY CAREGIVER LEAVE: Inktel will grant an eligible employee who is a spouse, son, daughter,
parent, or next of kin of a covered service member with a serious injury or illness up to a total of
26 workweeks of unpaid leave during a single 12-month period to care for the service member. A
covered service member is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National
Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is otherwise in
outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness.
A serious injury or illness is one that was incurred by a service member in the line of duty on active
duty that may render the service member medically unft to perform the duties of his or her offce,
grade, rank, or rating. The single 12-month period for leave to care for a covered service member
with a serious injury or illness begins on the frst day the employee takes leave for this reason and
ends 12 months later, regardless of the 12-month period established by the Inktel for other types of
FMLA leave. An eligible employee is limited to a combined total of 26 workweeks of leave for any FMLA-
qualifying reason during the single 12-month period. (Only 12 of the 26 weeks total may be for an
FMLA-qualifying reason other than to care for a covered service member.)
QUALIFYING EXIGENCY LEAVE: Inktel will grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks
of unpaid leave during the normal 12-month period established by the employer for FMLA leave for
qualifying exigencies arising out of the fact that the employees spouse, son, daughter, or parent
is on active duty, or has been notifed of an impending call or order to active duty, in support of a
contingency operation. Under the terms of the statute, qualifying exigency leave is available to a family
member of a military member in the National Guard or Reserves; it does not extend to family members
of military members in the Regular Armed Forces.
Qualifying exigencies include:
Issue arising from a covered military members short notice deployment (i.e., deployment on
seven or less days of notice) for a period of seven days from the date of notifcation
Military events and related activities, such as offcial ceremonies, programs, or events
sponsored by the military or family support or assistance programs and informational briefngs
sponsored or promoted by the military, military service organizations, or the American Red
Cross that are related to the active duty or call to active duty status of a covered military
member
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 39
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Certain childcare and related activities arising from the active duty or call to active duty
status of a covered military member, such as arranging for alternative childcare, providing
childcare on a non-routine, urgent, immediate need basis, enrolling or transferring a child in
a new school or day care facility, and attending certain meetings at a school or a day care
facility if they are necessary due to circumstances arising from the active duty or call to active
duty of the covered military member
Making or updating fnancial and legal arrangements to address a covered military members
absence
Attending counseling provided by someone other than a health care provider for oneself, the
covered military member, or the child of the covered military member, the need for which
arises from the active duty or call to active duty status of the covered military member
Taking up to fve days of leave to spend time with a covered military member who is on short-
term temporary, rest and recuperation leave during deployment
Attending to certain post-deployment activities, including attending arrival ceremonies,
reintegration briefngs and events, and other offcial ceremonies or programs sponsored by
the military for a period of 90 days following the termination of the covered military members
active duty status, and addressing issues arising from the death of a covered military member
Any other event that the employee and employer agree is a qualifying exigency.
Spouses employed by the same employer are limited to a combined total of 26 workweeks in a single
12-month period if the leave is to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness,
and for the birth and care of a newborn child, for placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or to
care for a parent who has a serious health condition.
FMLA leave may be taken intermittently whenever medically necessary to care for a covered service
member with a serious injury or illness. FMLA leave also may be taken intermittently for a qualifying
exigency arising out of the active duty status or call to active duty of a covered military member.
When leave is needed for planned medical treatment, the employee must make a reasonable effort to
schedule treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the employers operation.
Under certain conditions, employees or employers may choose to substitute (run concurrently)
accrued paid leave (such as sick or vacation leave) to cover some or all of the FMLA leave. An
employees ability to substitute accrued paid leave is determined by the terms and conditions of the
employers normal leave policy.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 40
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
NOTICE REQUIREMENTS
EMPLOYEE NOTICE: Employees seeking to use military caregiver leave must provide 30 days advance
notice of the need to take FMLA leave for planned medical treatment for a serious injury or illness of
a covered service member. If leave is foreseeable but 30 days advance notice is not practicable, the
employee must provide notice as soon as practicable generally, either the same or next business day.
An employee must provide notice of the need for foreseeable leave due to a qualifying exigency as soon
as practicable. When the need for military family leave is not foreseeable, the employee must provide
notice to Inktel as soon as practicable under the facts and circumstances of the particular case.
An employee does not need to specifcally assert his or her rights under the FMLA, or even mention
the FMLA, when providing notice. The employee must provide suffcient information to make the
employer aware of the need for FMLA leave and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave.
Depending on the situation, such information may include, as applicable:
That the requested leave is for a particular qualifying exigency related to the active duty or
call to active duty status of a covered military member and the anticipated duration of the
leave
That the leave is for a qualifying family member who is a covered service member with a
serious injury or illness and the anticipated duration of the leave.

When an employee seeks leave due to a FMLA-qualifying reason for which the employer has previously
provided the employee FMLA-protected leave, the employee must specifcally reference either the
qualifying reason for leave or the need for FMLA leave.
EMPLOYER NOTICE: Covered employers must post a notice approved by the Secretary of Labor
explaining rights and responsibilities under the FMLA. Additionally, employers must either include this
general notice in employee handbooks or other written guidance to employees concerning benefts, or
must distribute a copy of the notice to each new employee upon hiring. Employers may use the notice
prepared by U.S. Department of Labor to meet this requirement.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 41
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
When an employee requests FMLA leave or the employer acquires knowledge that leave may be for a
FMLA purpose, the employer must notify the employee of his or her eligibility to take leave, including a
reason for non-eligibility if the employee is determined not to be eligible. Such eligibility notice may be
oral or written and should, generally, be given within fve business days of the request for FMLA leave.
Subsequent eligibility notice in the same 12-month leave period may be required when an employees
eligibility status changes. Employers also must inform employees of their rights and responsibilities
under the FMLA, including giving specifc written information on what is required of the employee.
When the employer has enough information to determine that leave is being taken for an FMLA-
qualifying reason, the employer must notify the employee that the leave is designated and will be
counted as FMLA leave. The employer must designate leave that qualifes as both leave to care for
a covered service member with a serious injury or illness and leave to care for a qualifying family
member with a serious health condition as leave to care for a covered service member in the frst
instance. The designation notice must be in writing and generally, must be given within fve business
days of the determination. An employer also must notify the employee of the number of hours, days, or
weeks that will be counted against the employees FMLA entitlement. Employers may use the optional
forms WH-381 and WH-382 prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor to meet these notifcation
requirements.
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Employers may require that an employees request for military family leave be supported by an
appropriate certifcation. An employer may require that:
A qualifying exigency be supported by a copy of the covered military members active duty
orders and certifcation providing the appropriate facts related to the particular qualifying
exigency for which leave is sought, including contact information if the leave involves meeting
with a third party
Leave to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness be supported by a
certifcation completed by an authorized health care provider or by a copy of an Invitational
Travel Order (ITO) or Invitational Travel Authorization (ITA) issued to any member of the
covered service members family.
Section 4 Leaves of Absence 42
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Second and third opinions and recertifcation are not permitted for certifcation of a covered service
members serious injury or illness or of a qualifying exigency. An employer may use a health care
provider, a human resource professional, a leave administrator, or a management offcial but not
the employees direct supervisor to authenticate or clarify a medical certifcation of a serious injury
or illness, or an ITO or ITA. Additionally, an employer may contact the individual or entity named in a
certifcation of leave for a qualifying exigency for purposes of verifying the existence and nature of the
meeting. Employers may use the optional forms WH-384 and WH-385 prepared by the U.S. Department
of Labor for obtaining certifcations for qualifying exigencies and military caregiver leave, respectively.
407 GENETIC INFORMATION NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT (GINA)
Inktel strictly prohibits discrimination based on genetic information. GINA prohibits employers and
other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or requiring genetic information of employees
or their family members. In order to comply with this law, we are asking that you not request or
provide any genetic information in the work place, or to representatives of the company at any time.
Genetic information, as defned by GINA, includes an individuals family medical history, the results
of an individuals or family members genetic tests, the fact that an individual or an individuals
family member sought or received genetic services, and genetic information of a fetus carried by
an individual or an individuals family member or an embryo lawfully held by an individual or family
member receiving assistive reproductive services.
.................................................................................................................................
Section 5 Timekeeping/Payroll
501 TIMEKEEPING
Nonexempt employees are responsible for accurately recording the hours they work. This is done by
logging into and out of the time keeping system accurately. You must log in and out of the time keeping
system and you may not ask another employee to log you in or out of the timekeeping system. The
information also helps Inktel comply with the laws that require us to keep accurate records of time
worked in order to correctly calculate employee pay and benefts. Time worked is defned as all the
time nonexempt staff spend performing assigned duties.
Section 5 Timekeeping/Payroll 43
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If you are a nonexempt employee, you must accurately record the time you begin and end your work, as
well as the beginning and ending time of any meal periods, split shifts, or if you leave the workplace
for personal reasons. Also, you always need to receive advance approval before working any overtime
hours.
We consider attempts to falsify timekeeping records a very serious matter. Therefore, any of the
following actions may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination: altering, falsifying,
tampering with time records, or recording another employees time record.
If you are a nonexempt employee, you are expected to be clocked in at the start of your shift. There is
no grace period. You should also not continue to work after your shift ends. The only time you can start
earlier or work later is with prior authorization from your supervisor.
.................................................................................................................................
502 PAYDAYS
All employees are paid twice per month. Each payment includes earnings for all work performed
through the end of the previous payroll period.
If a regularly scheduled payday falls on a day off, such as a weekend or holiday, you will be paid on the
frst work day following the regularly scheduled payday.
We offer two options for payment. You can have your pay directly deposited into your bank account
once you provide us with the required authorization. Or, we will issue you a Pay Card whereby each pay
period, the funds will be deposited onto your Pay Card.
.................................................................................................................................
503 PAY ADVANCES & GARNISHMENTS
At Inktel we do not provide pay advances on unearned wages to our employees.
When an employees wages are garnished by a court order, our company is legally bound to withhold
the amount indicated in the garnishment order from the employees paycheck. Our company will,
however, honor applicable federal and state guidelines that protect a certain amount of an employees
income from being subject to garnishment.
Section 5 Timekeeping/Payroll 44
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
504 ADMINISTRATIVE PAY CORRECTIONS
Inktel takes all reasonable steps to ensure that you receive the correct amount of pay for each pay
period and that you are paid on the scheduled payday.
In the unlikely event that there is an error in the amount of pay you receive, you should notify your
immediate supervisor and payroll department within 24 hours from pay date, so that the discrepancy
can be corrected as quickly as possible.
.................................................................................................................................
505 PAY DEDUCTIONS AND SETOFFS
Inktel is legally required to make certain deductions from every employees compensation. Among these
deductions are federal, state, and local taxes as appropriate. We are also legally required to deduct
Social Security taxes on your earnings up to a maximum amount, which is called the Social Security
wage base. Inktel contributes to your Social Security by matching the amount of Social Security
taxes deducted from your compensation.
Inktel offers programs and benefts to eligible employees beyond those required by law. You may
voluntarily authorize deductions from your paycheck to cover your portion of the cost of these
programs.
We may fnd it necessary to take pay setoffs from your paycheck. Pay setoffs are pay deductions
taken by Inktel, usually to help pay off a debt or obligation to us or to others.
It is the policy of the company that exempt employees pay will not be docked or subject to deductions,
in violation of salary pay rules issued by the US Department of Labor and any corresponding rules
issued by the state government, as applicable. However, the company may make deductions from
employees salaries in a way that is permitted under federal and state wage and hour rules. Employees
will be reimbursed in full for any isolated, inadvertent, or improper deductions, as defned by law.
If you have questions concerning why a deduction was made from your paycheck or how your paycheck
is calculated, consult with your supervisor.
Section 5 Timekeeping/Payroll 45
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, &
Disciplinary Action
601 SAFETY
We provide information to employees about workplace safety and health issues through regular
internal communication channels. These may include supervisor-employee meetings, training, bulletin
board postings, memos, or other written communications.
You are expected to obey all safety rules and use caution in your work activities. You must immediately
report any unsafe condition to the appropriate supervisor. If you violate Inktel safety standards, cause
a hazardous or dangerous situation, or fail to report or, where appropriate, remedy such situations, you
may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
In the case of an accident that results in an injury, regardless of how insignifcant the injury may
appear, you should immediately notify the Human Resources Department or the appropriate supervisor.
Prompt reporting can ensure legal compliance and quick initiation of insurance and workers
compensation benefts procedures.
.................................................................................................................................
602 WORK SCHEDULES
Inktel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Work schedules for employees vary throughout
the company. Your supervisor will advise you of your specifc work schedule. Staffng needs and
operational demands may necessitate variations in starting and ending times, as well as variations in
the total hours that may be scheduled each day and week.
.................................................................................................................................
603 USE OF PHONES
LAND LINES: Inktel telephones are intended for business use and employees are not permitted to make
long-distance or toll calls from our phones unless otherwise directed. We request that all personal
calls be made during breaks, before and after your shift.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 46
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Because our telephone communications are an important refection of our image to clients and the
community, every employee should use proper telephone etiquette. Some examples of good telephone
etiquette are using the approved greeting, speaking courteously and professionally, confrming the
information you have received from the caller, and only hanging up once the caller has done so.
CELL PHONES: While at work employees are expected to exercise the same discretion in using personal
cellular phones as is expected for the use of Inktel phones. Personal calls during the work hours,
regardless of the phones use, can interfere with employee productivity and be distracting to others.
Cell phones are not to be carried on the job without specifc permission from management. Employees
will inform their supervisor of the need to carry a phone. The supervisor will inform upper management
and permission for use will be granted/denied on a case-by-case basis. Employees are therefore asked
to make personal calls during breaks and lunch period and to ensure that friends and family members
are aware of the departments policy.
Inktel will not be liable for the loss or confscation of personal cellular phones brought into the
workplace.
.................................................................................................................................
604 SMOKING
In keeping with Inktels intent to provide a safe and healthful work environment, smoking in the
workplace is prohibited. Smoking is not permitted within twenty feet of any building exit. Employees
that choose to smoke must clock out of work. Total daily time spent smoking will be deducted from the
allotted time set aside for meals and breaks.
To protect and enhance our indoor air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of
all employees, Inktel shall be entirely smoke free effective immediately. Additionally, effective
immediately, the use of all tobacco products, including chewing tobacco and vaping, is banned
from Inktel workplace, except as designated in this policy.
Employees found abusing this policy or in violation may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including termination.
In situations where the preferences of smokers and nonsmokers confict, the preferences of the
nonsmokers will prevail.
This policy applies equally to all employees as well as to our clients and visitors.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 47
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
605 MEAL PERIODS
All full-time employees are provided with one meal period each workday. Supervisors will schedule
meal periods to accommodate operating requirements. During meal periods, you will be relieved of all
work responsibilities and restrictions and will not be compensated for that time.
.................................................................................................................................
606 OVERTIME
There may be times when Inktel cannot meet its operating requirements or other needs during regular
working hours. If this happens, we may give employees the opportunity to work overtime assignments.
It is our policy that no overtime can be worked without the prior approval and authorization of the
supervisor. We try to distribute overtime assignments fairly among all employees who are qualifed to
perform the required work.
All nonexempt employees will be paid overtime compensation in accordance with federal and state
wage and hour restrictions. Overtime pay is based on actual hours worked. For this reason, time off for
sick leave, vacation, and other paid or unpaid leaves of absence is not considered hours worked for the
purpose of calculating overtime pay.
If you work overtime without receiving your supervisors prior authorization, you may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment.
.................................................................................................................................
607 EMERGENCY CLOSINGS
There could times when emergencies, such as severe weather, fres, power failures, or hurricanes may
disrupt our normal business operations. In extreme cases, these circumstances may require that we
close a work facility.
When a facility is offcially closed due to emergency conditions, the time off from scheduled work will
be unpaid. However, you may request to use your available paid time off time.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 48
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
If Inktel is not offcially closed during an emergency, you are expected to report to work. If you do not
report to work, you will not be paid for the time off.
.................................................................................................................................
608 BUSINESS TRAVEL EXPENSES
Inktel will reimburse employees for reasonable business travel expenses when the travel has been
approved in advance by the President. Once your travel plans are approved, you are responsible for
making your own travel arrangements unless you are directed to do otherwise.
When making travel plans, please refer to any travel guidelines provided to you by your immediate
supervisor.
Once business travel is approved, we will reimburse the reasonable costs of travel, meals, lodging, and
other expenses directly related to accomplishing the objective of your trip. Naturally, we expect that,
when making arrangements for travel, you will negotiate for the lowest rates possible.
In the event that you are involved in an accident while traveling on business, immediately report the
incident to your supervisor. And, if you use a vehicle owned, leased, or rented by Inktel, it may not be
used for personal reasons unless you have prior approval.
When a business trip is over, submit your completed travel expense report at the end of the current
month. Receipts must be provided for all expenses incurred.
Your supervisor can give you guidance and assistance on procedures related to travel arrangements,
expense reports, reimbursement for specifc expenses, or any other business travel issues.
We consider abuse of this policy, including falsifying expense reports to refect costs that were not
incurred by you or were not business-related, to be a very serious matter. Therefore, failure to follow
this business travel expense policy may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of employment.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 49
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
609 VISITORS IN THE WORKPLACE
To better protect the safety and security of employees as well as Inktel property and facilities, only
authorized visitors are allowed in the workplace. Restricting unauthorized visitors helps to maintain
safety standards, safeguard employee and client welfare, protect equipment and confdential
information against theft, and reduce potential distractions and disturbances.
For safety and security reasons, we ask that you discourage family and friends from visiting. If you do
have a personal visitor, you will be asked to meet that person outside the facility and escort them while
they are on company property.
All visitors should enter Inktel at the reception area. Once authorized, visitors will receive directions or
be escorted to their destination. When you have outside visitors, you are responsible for their conduct
and taking steps to ensure their safety.
If you see an unauthorized person on our premises, please notify your supervisor immediately or direct
the individual to the reception area.
.................................................................................................................................
610 USE OF EQUIPMENT
Equipment essential in accomplishing job duties are expensive and may be diffcult to replace. When
using Inktel property, you are expected to exercise care, perform required maintenance, and follow all
operating instructions, safety standards, and guidelines.
You should notify your supervisor if any equipment, machines, tools, or vehicles appear to be damaged,
defective, or in need of repair. Prompt reporting of damages, defects, and the need for repairs could
prevent deterioration of equipment and possible injury to employees or other people. Your supervisor
can answer any questions about your responsibility for maintenance and care of equipment or vehicles
you use on the job.
The improper, careless, negligent, destructive, or unsafe use or operation of equipment or vehicles may
result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

All employees, including supervisors and temporary employees, should be treated with courtesy and

that may be dangerous to others. We prohibit frearms, weapons, and other dangerous or hazardous
devices and substances from the premises of Inktel without proper authorization.
Inktel will not tolerate conduct that threatens, intimidates, or coerces another employee, a client, or
a member of the public at any time, including off-duty periods. This includes all acts of harassment,
including harassment that is based on an individuals sex, race, age, or any characteristic protected by
federal, state, or local law.
All threats of (or actual) violence, either direct or indirect, should be reported as soon as possible to
your supervisor or any other member of management. This includes threats by employees as well as
threats by clients, vendors, solicitors, or anyone else. When reporting a threat of violence, you should
be as specifc and detailed as possible.
Be sure to report any suspicious person or activities as soon as possible to a supervisor. Do not place

intercede or see what is happening.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 56
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
We will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of threats of (or actual) violence and of

618 USE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY DEVICES WHILE DRIVING
Use of mobile technology devices such as cellular phones, laptops, personal digital assistants,
navigation systems, and portable digital audio and video players have been shown to distract drivers
and can increase the risk of motor vehicle accidents. To help reduce the possibility of vehicle accidents
in connection with the use of mobile technology, it is the policy of Inktel to prohibit the use mobile
technology while driving a company vehicle or any other vehicle (including rented, leased, borrowed or
personally owned vehicle) while conducting company business. The policy includes, but is not limited
to, the following:
Employees should comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding the
use of mobile technology devices including cellular phones. The most updated list of state and
local restrictions on cellular phone and mobile technology can be found at www.ghsa.org.
Use of hand held cellular phones while driving is prohibited.
Cellular phone calls using hands-free technology while driving is strongly discouraged. To
minimize the impact of distraction, calls, if any, should be brief. Extended conversations
should be made while not driving.

619 DRIVING ON BEHALF OF INKTEL
Any driver of an Inktel-owned or leased vehicle, or anyone driving any vehicle on Inktel business must
have a valid drivers license, which must be with the driver at all times when operating the vehicle.
Furthermore, any driver of an Inktel owned or leased vehicle must sign a waiver. Inktel reserves the
right to make random checks of the license status and violation status of the driver of an Inktel
vehicle. When written authorization is required by state law, employees who operate Company vehicles
must provide written authorization to enable the Company to make such checks.
Employees driving their personally owned/leased or rented/hired vehicles on company business
present an additional liability exposure to the company. Inktels insurance policy may have to respond
if the employees coverage is insuffcient to cover injuries sustained to others in an accident. To help
control this exposure, Inktel will:
Qualify these drivers the same as if we would drivers of company owned vehicles using such
tools as acceptable motor vehicle records, road tests, and experience level.
Require vehicle safety standards for employees vehicles to be equivalent to the level of safety
of Inktels vehicles.
Have a driving policy which defnes, among other things, who is authorized to drive on
company business and the terms of driving on company business. Terms should include
prohibited practices while driving such as drug and alcohol use, use of cell phones, and
speeding. Drivers must adhere to the rules of the road such as speeding, parking, and proper
signaling and merging. Inktel will not reimburse employees for any ticket issued for violating
the rules of the road.
Require certifcate of insurance (if possible) or proof of insurance for adequate employee levels
of auto liability including adequate limits for Uninsured Motorists (UM) and Underinsured
Motorists (UIM).

621 DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE
Inktel is committed to providing a drug-free, healthful, and safe workplace. To meet this goal, we
expect you to report to work in a mental and physical condition that enables you to perform your job in
a satisfactory manner.
While on Inktel premises or while conducting business-related activities off Inktel premises, you may
not use, possess, distribute, sell, or be under the infuence of alcohol or illegal drugs. We permit the
legal use of prescribed drugs on the job only if they do not impair your ability to perform the essential
functions of your job effectively and safely without endangering others.
If you violate this policy, it may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination
of your employment. The employees supervisor has the right to conduct an on-the-spot search and

Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 60
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
622 DRUG FREE WORKPLACE POLICY
Inktel is committed to providing a safe, effcient, and productive work environment for all employees.
Using or being under the infuence of drugs or alcohol on the job may pose serious safety and health
risks. To help ensure a safe and healthful working environment, job applicants may be asked to provide
body substance samples (such as saliva, urine and/or blood) to check for the illicit or illegal use of
drugs and alcohol.
Inktel also reserves the right to require employees to submit to drug or alcohol testing when reasonable
suspicion of use arises. A positive result or refusal to submit to drug testing may result in disciplinary
action, up to and including termination of employment.
This policy is set up pursuant to the Drug-Free Workplace Program under Florida Workers
Compensation Law. Substance abuse, while at work or otherwise, seriously endangers the safety
of employees, as well as the general public, and creates a variety of workplace problems including
increased injuries on the job, increased absenteeism, increased health care and beneft costs,
increased theft, decreased morale, decreased productivity and a decline in the quality of products and
services provided. We have established this policy to detect users and to remove abusers of drugs and
alcohol. It is also our policy to prevent the use and/or presence of these substances in the workplace
and to assist employees in overcoming any dependence on drugs and/or alcohol in accordance with the
following guidelines.
This policy provides that an employee who is injured in the course and scope of his employment and
tests positive on a drug or alcohol test forfeits his eligibility for medical and indemnity benefts under
Florida Workers Compensation. (Refusal to take a drug or alcohol test will result in the employee
forfeiting his eligibility for medical and indemnity benefts under Florida Workers Compensation Law
and automatic termination of the employee.)
The purpose of this policy is to communicate our position on drugs and alcohol in the workplace and
provide guidance for the implementation of related programs.

All employees are covered by this policy and, as a condition of employment, are required to abide by
the terms of this policy. Because of state or federal laws and regulations, certain employees may be
subject to additional requirements.

use does not pose a safety risk, the employee will be permitted to work. If such use impairs the
employees ability to safely or effectively perform his or her job, the Company may temporarily reassign
the employee or grant a leave of absence during the period of treatment. Improper use of prescription
drugs is prohibited and may result in disciplinary action. Prescription medication must be kept in its
original container if such medication is taken during working hours or on Company property.

physical symptoms or manifestations of being under the infuence of a drug.
B. Abnormal conduct or erratic behavior while at work, or a signifcant deterioration in work
performance.

should be documented by the supervisor on the Substance Abuse Investigation Report Form. This must
be done as soon as possible but no later than seven days after the employee has been drug tested. A
copy of this report will be given to the employee upon request and the original documentation will be
kept confdential by the Company and retained for at least one year.
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 65

CONCLUSION

Inktels drug-free workplace policy has been prepared so as not to confict with public policy and,
further, not to be discriminatory or abusive. A drug-free workplace should be the goal of every employer
in America. Drug and alcohol testing is only one of the several steps that must be taken to achieve this
objective.
This policy supersedes any information provided to applicants and/or employees, either written or oral.
The Company reserves the right to change the provisions of this policy and testing program at any time
in the future.

623 SEXUAL AND OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT
Inktel is committed to providing a work environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and
conduct that can be considered harassing, coercive, or disruptive, including sexual harassment and
other forms of unlawful harassment. Actions, words, jokes, or comments based on an individuals sex,
race, color, national origin, ancestry, age, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or
any other legally protected characteristic will not be tolerated. We provide ongoing sexual harassment
training to ensure you the opportunity to work in an environment free of sexual and other unlawful
harassment.
Sexual harassment is defned as unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other
visual, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. This defnition includes many forms of offensive
behavior and includes gender-based harassment of a person of the same sex as the harasser. The
following is a partial list of sexual harassment examples:
Unwanted sexual advances
Offering employment benefts in exchange for sexual favors
Making or threatening reprisals after a negative response to sexual advances
Visual conduct that includes leering, making sexual gestures, or displaying of sexually
suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons or posters
Verbal conduct that includes making or using derogatory comments, epithets, slurs, or jokes
Verbal sexual advances or propositions
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 75
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
Verbal abuse of a sexual nature, graphic verbal commentaries about an individuals body,
sexually degrading words used to describe an individual, or suggestive or obscene letters,
notes, or invitations
Physical conduct that includes touching, assaulting, or impeding or blocking movements
Unwelcome sexual advances (either verbal or physical), requests for sexual favors, and other verbal
or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: (1) submission to such
conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment; (2) submission or
rejection of the conduct is used as a basis for making employment decisions; or, (3) the conduct has
the purpose or effect of interfering with work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or
offensive work environment.

If you experience or witness sexual, or other unlawful harassment, in the workplace, report it
immediately to your supervisor. If the supervisor is unavailable, or you believe it would be inappropriate
to contact that person, you should immediately contact the Human Resources Department or any
other member of management. You can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal or
retaliation.
Employees who have experienced conduct they believe is contrary to this policy have an obligation to
take advantage of this complaint procedure. Early reporting and intervention have proven to be the
most effective method of resolving actual or perceived incidents of harassment. Inktel strongly urges
the prompt reporting of complaints or concerns so that rapid and constructive action can be taken.
The availability of this complaint procedure does not preclude individuals who believe they are being
subjected to harassing conduct from promptly advising the offender that his or her behavior is
unwelcome and requesting that it be discontinued.
Inktel prohibits retaliation against any individual who reports discrimination or harassment or
participates in an investigation of such reports. Retaliation against an individual for reporting
harassment or discrimination or for participating in an investigation of a claim of harassment of
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.
All allegations of sexual harassment will be quickly and discreetly investigated. To the extent
consistent with adequate investigation and appropriate corrective action, your confdentiality and that
of any witnesses and the alleged harasser will be protected against unnecessary disclosure. When the
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 76
Inktel Policy & Employment Handbook
investigation is completed, you will be informed of the outcome of the investigation.
Providing false information in the course of an investigation is grounds for discipline up to and
including termination.
Any supervisor or manager who becomes aware of possible sexual or other unlawful harassment must
immediately advise the Human Resources Department or any member of management so it can be
investigated in a timely and confdential manner. Any employee engaging in sexual or other unlawful
harassment will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
.................................................................................................................................
624 ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
As an employee of Inktel, we expect you to be reliable and punctual by reporting for work on time and
as scheduled. When you are absent or late, it places a burden on other employees and can impact
productivity and service. In the rare instances when you cannot avoid being late or are unable to work
as scheduled, be sure to notify your supervisor as soon as possible, or at least two hours prior to your
scheduled shift, so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Because unplanned absences can be disruptive to work, a poor attendance record or excessive
lateness may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
Inktel follows a policy that employees accumulate occurrences over a rolling 365-calendar year. A
occurrence is given for being late and a full (1) occurrence is given for an absence. Occurrences
double on holidays, the day before and after holiday, Saturdays, and Sundays, and any other days as
designated by management.
Two consecutive No Call No Show (NCNS) or three No Call No Shows for a rolling 365-calendar year is
job abandonment and is considered as an automatic resignation.

Inktel will provide reasonable accommodations to such individuals in accordance with applicable laws.
Employees who are eligible for FMLA leave must comply with Inktels Family Medical Leave policy
contained in this handbook to be granted FMLA leave.

The company maintains a business casual environment. All employees should use discretion in wearing
attire that is appropriate for the offce and client interaction.
Employees who are non-compliant with the new dress-code policy will receive a documented verbal
warning for the frst incident. The Supervisor will advise the agent that if a second offense occurs,
they will be sent home, without pay, to change into appropriate attire, and be expected to return to
work within a mutually agreed-upon time frame. In the event that a second occurrence happens, the
Supervisor will send the agent home, without pay, to change into appropriate attire, and the agent
will be required to return to work within a mutually agreed upon time frame. In addition, agent will be
issued a Violation of Policy Warning. Failure to return to work will count as an unexcused absence,
and could result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
Inktel reserves the right to require all employees to adhere by a Professional Dress-Code policy at
any time. Example of times we will enforce the Professional Dress-Code: client visits, media visits
and other occasions designated by management. Inktel will give advance notice of the need for

Inktel is committed to providing the best possible working conditions for our employees. Part of
this commitment is encouraging an open and frank atmosphere in which any problem, complaint,
suggestion, or question receives a timely response from Inktel supervisors and management.
Inktel strives to ensure fair and honest treatment of all employees. We expect supervisors, managers,
and employees to treat each other with mutual respect. We encourage employees to offer positive and
constructive criticism to each other.
If you disagree with established rules of conduct, policies, or practices, you can express your concern
through the problem resolution procedure.
If a situation occurs when you believe that a condition of employment or a decision affecting you is
unjust or inequitable, you are encouraged to make use of the following steps. You may discontinue the
procedure at any step.
1. You present the problem to your supervisor within fve calendar days after the incident
occurs. If your supervisor is unavailable or you believe it would be inappropriate to contact
that person, you may present the problem to the Human Resources Department or any other
member of management.
2. The supervisor responds to the problem during discussion or within 10 calendar days after
Section 6 Work Conditions, Employee Conduct, & Disciplinary Action 82

consulting with appropriate management, when necessary. The supervisor documents the
discussion.

629 WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE
Inktel strives to maintain a positive work environment where employees treat each other with respect

may be disruptive or annoying to others. Very often you can address these day-to-day issues by politely
talking with your coworker to bring the perceived problem to his or her attention.
In most cases, common sense will dictate an appropriate resolution. Inktel encourages all employees to
keep an open mind and graciously accept constructive feedback or another employees request for you to
change your behavior because it may be affecting that persons ability to concentrate and be productive.
