NOI Open Door Policy.
All reported violations will be promptly
investigated and treated confidentially to the
extent reasonably possible. It is imperative
that reporting persons not conduct their own
preliminary investigations. Investigations of
alleged violations may involve complex legal
issues, and acting on your own may compromise
the integrity of an investigation and adversely
affect both you and NOI.
Discipline for Violations
Policies will be enforced at all levels, fairly
and without prejudice. NOI intends to use every
reasonable effort to prevent the occurrence of
conduct not in compliance with its policies and
to halt any such conduct that may occur as soon
as reasonably possible after its discovery.
Subject to applicable law, employees and
contractors who violate NOI policies may be
subject to disciplinary actions, up to and
including termination of employment and, if
warranted, civil legal action or referral to
criminal prosecution. In addition, subject to
applicable law, disciplinary actions, up to and
including termination of employment, may be
taken against anyone who directs or approves
infractions or has knowledge of them and does
not promptly report them in accordance with our
policies.
Waivers
NOI will waive application of the policies set
forth herein only where circumstances warrant
granting a waiver.
No Rights Created
This policy is not intended to and does not
create any rights in any employee, client,
supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other
person or entity. Likewise, this policy is not a
contract, and neither this policy nor any
information previously or subsequently
communicated to you regarding this policy
provides you with any contract rights. The
policy may be modified at any time without
further notice. Neither the policies set forth
herein, nor any other communications regarding
this policy, alter the at-will employment
relationship between US employees and NOI.
