EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY

It is the policy of BEST to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, nation origin, age, veteran status, or disability in accordance with applicable federal laws. In addition, BEST complies with applicable state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment including, but not limited to hiring, placement, assignment, promotion, termination, layoffs, recalls, transfers, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.

It is also the policy of BEST not to honor requests that employees be assigned on the basis of sex or any other classification protected by law, unless such request is based on a bona fide occupational qualification for that assignment.

Any person who feels that she/he has been subjected to unlawful discrimination should immediately notify his/her direct supervisor, Account Manager, or BESTs Headquarters at (651) 400-7040. BEST will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into the allegations or complaints of discrimination. To the extent practicable, the Company will keep complaints and the terms of their resolution confidential. Appropriate action against the offender, up to and including termination, shall be taken within a reasonable period of time, if called for, based on the facts revealed by the investigation. The Company forbids retaliation against anyone for reporting discrimination, assisting in making a discrimination complaint, or cooperating in a discrimination investigation. Any person who believes she/he has been subjected to retaliation should immediately notify his/her direct supervisor, Account Manager, or BESTs national office at (651) 400-7040.
