Organizational Code of Conduct
1. ATT and its employees must, at al times, comply with all applicable laws and regulations. ATT will not condone the activities of employees who achieve results through violation of the law or unethical business dealings. This includes any payments for illegal acts, indirect contributions, rebates, and bribery. The Organization does not permit any activity that fails to stand the closest possible public scrutiny.
2. All business conduct should be well above the minimum standards required by law. Accordingly, employees must ensure that their actions cannot be interpreted as being, in any way, in contravention of the laws and regulations governing the Organization’s operations.
3. Employees uncertain about the application or interpretation of any legal requirements should refer the matter to their supervisor, who, if necessary, should seek appropriate legal advice.

General Employee Conduct
1. ATT expects its employees to conduct themselves in a businesslike manner. Drinking, gambling, fighting, swearing, and similar unprofessional activities are strictly prohibited while on the job.
2. Employees must not engage in sexual harassment, or conduct themselves in a way that could be construed as such, for example, by using inappropriate language, keeping or posting inappropriate materials in their work area, or accessing inappropriate materials on their computer.

Conflicts of Interest
1. ATT expects that employees will perform their duties conscientiously, honestly, and in accordance with the best interests of ATT. Employees must not use their positions or the knowledge gained as a result of their positions for private or personal advantage.
2. Regardless of the circumstances, if employees sense that a course of action they have pursued, or are presently pursuing, or are contemplating pursuing may involve them in a conflict of interest with their employer, they should immediately communicate all the facts to their supervisor.

Outside Activities, Employment, and Directorships
1. All employees share a serious responsibility for ATT’s good public relations, especially at the community level. Their readiness to help with religious, charitable, educational, and civic activities brings credit to ATT and is encouraged.
2.Employees must, however, avoid acquiring any business interest or participating in any other activity outside the Organization that would, or would appear to:
a- Create an excessive demand upon time and attention, thus depriving ATT of their best efforts on the job.
b- Create a conflict of interest - an obligation, interest, or distraction - that may interfere with the independent exercise of judgment in ATT’s best interest.

Relationships with Clients and Suppliers
Employees should avoid investing in or acquiring a financial interest for their own accounts in any business organization that has a contractual relationship with ATT, or that provides goods or services, or both, to ATT if such investment or interest could influence or create the impression of influencing their decisions in the performance of their duties on behalf of ATT.


Gifts, Entertainment, and Favors
1. Employees must not accept entertainment, gifts, or personal favors that could, in any way, influence, or appear to influence, business decisions in favor of any person or organization with whom or with which ATT has, or is likely to have, business dealings.
2. Similarly, employees must not accept any other preferential treatment under these circumstances because their positions with ATT might be inclined to, or be perceived to, place them under obligation to return the preferential treatment.

Kickbacks and Secret Commissions
1. Regarding the ATT’s business activities, employees may not receive payment or compensation of any kind, except as authorized under ATT business and payroll policies.
2. In particular, ATT strictly prohibits the acceptance of kickbacks and secret commissions from suppliers or others. Any breach of this rule will result in immediate termination and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

Organization Funds and Other Assets
1. Employees who have access to ATT funds in any form must follow the prescribed procedures for recording, handling, and protecting money as detailed in ATT’s policies and procedures or other explanatory materials, or both. ATT imposes strict standards to prevent fraud and dishonesty. If employees become aware of any evidence of fraud and dishonesty, they should immediately advise their supervisor or seek appropriate legal guidance so that ATT can promptly investigate further.
2. When an employee’s position requires spending ATT funds or incurring any reimbursable personal expenses, that individual must use good judgment on ATT’s behalf to ensure that good value is received for every expenditure.
3. ATT funds and all other assets of ATT are purposed for ATT only and not for personal benefit. This includes the personal use of organizational assets, such as computers.

Organization Records and Communications
