2.01 Diversity and Inclusion

"Accept us being different so we can make a

difference”

We are committed to a non-discriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for employment and

advancement in all our departments. We value and respect diverse life experiences and heritages and

ensure that all voices are heard and valued. At LuxDesigns a equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace is one where all employees, whatever their race, gender,

ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or disability, feels respected and

valued.

2.02 Confidentiality

2.03 Harassment and Discrimination

There is certain information HR obtains in order to complete the hiring process and handle emergency situations. This information includes the

employee address, cell phone number, email, and insurance beneficiaries.

Protecting the confidentiality of employees’ information is our top priority at LuxDesigns. Employees of the Human Resources Department are the

only ones with access to this information, and will not disclose any information for any reason until consent is given by the employee. Employees found in violation of this policy will result in immediate

termination.

LuxDesigns strives to establish and preserve a work environment in which people are treated with dignity, decency, and respect. Our

company will not tolerate unlawful discrimination or harassment of any kind. We will seek to prevent, correct and discipline behavior that violates this policy after investigations have been conducted into the logistics of the case. Futhermore, all new employees are mandated to attend our

Harassment and Discrimination Workshop.

7

2.04 Employee Improvement Plan

For employees that fail to meet expectations or conduct any disciplinary actions, HR will provide the Employee Improvement Plan. The Employee Improvement Plan informs the employee, the areas they need to improve on and guide them through the

action processes on how to improve their weaknesses. Throughout the one month period, HR will be checking on the employee daily and conduct an one-on-one meeting once a

week. If no improvements are shown after the one month period, the employee would have pay deduction and possibly demotion.

2.05 Employee Assessment

I. Policy Overview

Our grading policy is based on a hundred percentage based system for fair and accurate grading. It is broken

down into three different sections varying in weight percentages each out of 100%. All employees, regardless of their positions within the company, are held to the same

standards.

If you do believe there is an oversight in your grade, email the Human Resources Department as soon as possible. For corrections to be made, your email should include

your name, employee OSIS number, the troubled section and date , and if it is a complaint or error.

If there was a mistake, corrections will take 2-3 business

days

2.05 Employee AssessmentIV. Evaluations

To ensure that we are performing to expectations and are developing as individuals, an evaluation system is set in place. By evaluating each other and ourselves, we are able to

provide the Human Resources Department with greater insight on the strengths and weaknesses of each employee. With this information, we are able to accurately predict

employee interactions which we can improve through our one-on-one evaluation reviews ultimately leading to the cultivated environment we strive for.

Evaluations must be graded through a non-biased standpoint. If employees are not honest, their evaluation grades will be lowered. If HR suspects an employee's dishonesty, HR will inspect the employee's interactions or ask the employee questions on why he or she gave that grade. If given a non valid reason, his or her grade will be lowered depending on how

much he or she lowered the other employee(s) grades by.

Evaluations for others involve 10 categories (General quality of work, Dependability, Job knowledge, Communication / Listening Skills, Personality, Contribution to group,

Productivity, Achievement of goals, Work consistency, and initiative)

Score range for each category: 1-51: Poor

2: Needs Improvement3: Satisfactory

4. Good5. Excellent

Self-Evaluation grades are determined through an employee's written explanation of why

they deserve the grade they gave themselves. If the written explanation correlates to other evaluations of him or her and HR approves, then he or she will receive that grade. If the HR and evaluations show that he or she deserves a higher or lower grade, then HR will come to

a conclusion with a consensus on what grade the employee should receive. 12

2.06 Communication

At LuxDesigns, we use have four main channels of communication which are used by the entire company. These channels include

Gmail, WhatsApp, Discord, and Remind. Employees are required to check these platforms on a daily basis. By utilizing the platforms, we

can effectively carry out weekly agendas, reminders, and announcements through transparency.

I. Platforms

14

2.06 Communication

Utilizing the entire work week from Monday to Friday, all departments have department meetings to create and discuss weekly agendas and

goals. Meetings also occur outside of office hours utilizing software applications such as WhatsApp, a convenient messenger app to create stronger bonds between employees and employers and to

discuss present and future agendas.

II. Meetings

III. Agendas

With weekly agendas lead by the management team, HR compiles them into a digital calendar (tracking progress and deadlines) that is shared to all employees’ professional emails. This ensures that our company is aware of each individual’s goals and progress. It also allows HR to have greater insight on different departments and to

ensure that these departments are meeting deadlines and progress is being made. This will lead to a transparent working environment.

15

2.07 Payroll

Employees are payed biweekly of every month based on their skill and position within LuxDesigns. Because, LuxDesigns is a start up, employees are paid salaries less than real-world paychecks. However, employees have the opportunity to earn overtime pay for the extra hours used to complete assignments outside of office hours. For every three hours of work done, employees

will receive one hour’s worth of pay towards their paycheck. This encourages all employees to be

involved in company events. Upper management holds the responsibility of collecting all overtime hours from middle management or employees and filing them to Human Resources. The Overtime Form, available on the HR website, asks for the date, number of hours worked and the assignments completed in that time. Furthermore, salaries will increase as the company

progresses.

16

3.01 Profit Sharing

At the end each fiscal year LuxDesigns shares a percentage of profit with employees as bonuses. Percentage varies yearly based on

corporate performance.

acknowledge and reward employees that have done a

fantastic job for the past month. This employee
