The Company hosts a variety of social events for employees and clients. These events are meant to be enjoyable and entertaining. However, it is important to remember that you are still representing the Company when you attend these functions. Employees and representatives of the Company are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner. Alcohol may be served at these functions. Employees and representatives of the Company should use the alcohol in moderation. For the purposes of this policy, moderate use of alcohol means the employee or company representative remains, at all times, in control of their faculties, including, but not limited to, meeting the legal standard for operation of a motor vehicle.

One of the Company’s goals during these functions is to assure everyone’s safety, as well as to prevent damage to the property. As a representative of the Company, you should take reasonable steps to meet these goals. If you bring a client or guest to the function, you are responsible for ensuring that client or guest does not expose the Company to added liability. For example, if it is reasonable to believe that the client or guest would not meet the legal standard for operation of a motor vehicle, you should not allow them to drive away from the function. If a client or guest is impaired, you should not continue to serve them alcohol. If a client or guest becomes disruptive, you should escort that individual away from the function.
