RULES OF CONDUCT

We expect our employees to use common sense and good judgment, and to conduct themselves in a professional business manner that will foster good relations with their managers, co-workers, and persons with whom we do business. Failure to behave in an appropriate professional business manner, or failure to act in a way which furthers the business activities of PHK CPA, is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

We have tried to list examples of the types of offenses which may lead to disciplinary action, but it would not be possible to list every conceivable deficiency or action which might cause PHK CPA to conclude that the continued employment of a particular employee is no longer in the best interest of PHK CPA.

As a result, employees should use this list only as an illustration of the types of conduct may lead to discipline or termination.
