EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE POLICY


Objective
The purpose of this policy is to set forth Samsung’s policy and procedures for handling
employee absences and tardiness to promote the efficient operation of the company and
minimize unscheduled absences.

Policy
Punctual and regular attendance is an essential responsibility of each employee at Samsung.
Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled, on time, and prepared to start working.
Employees also are expected to remain at work for their entire work schedule. Late arrival, early
departure, or other absences from scheduled hours are disruptive and must be avoided.

Absence
“Absence” is defined as the failure of an employee to report for work when he or she is
scheduled to work. The two types of absences are defined below:
● Excused absence occurs when all the following conditions are met:
○ The employee provides to his or her superior notice at least 48 hours in advance
of the absence.
○ The absence request is approved in advance by the employee’s superior.
○ The employee has sufficient accrued paid time off (PTO) to cover the absence.
● Unexcused absence occurs when any of the above conditions are not met. If it is
necessary for an employee to be absent or late for work because of an illness or an
emergency, the employee must notify his or her superior no later than the employee’s
scheduled starting time on that same day. If the employee is unable to call, he or she must
have someone make the call.

An unexcused absence counts as one occurrence for discipline under this policy.

Employees with three or more consecutive days of excused absences because of illness or injury
must give Samsung proof of physician’s care and fitness for duty release before disciplining
under this policy.

Tardiness and Early Departures


Employees are expected to report to work and return from scheduled breaks on time. If
employees cannot report to work as scheduled, they must notify their supervisor no later than
their regular starting time. This notification does not excuse the tardiness but simply notifies the
supervisor that a schedule change may be necessary.
Employees who must leave work before the end of their scheduled shift must notify a supervisor
immediately.
Tardiness and early departures are each one-half an occurrence for the purpose of discipline
under this policy.

Disciplinary Action

Excessive absenteeism is defined as two or more occurrences of unexcused absence in 30 days


and will result in disciplinary action. Eight occurrences of unexcused absence in 12 months are
considered grounds for termination.

Job Abandonment

Any employee who fails to report to work for three days or more without notifying his or her
supervisor will be considered to have abandoned the job and voluntarily terminated the
employment relationship.

EMPLOYEE CONDUCT

As an employee, you are responsible to behave appropriately at work. We outline our


expectations here. We can’t cover every single case of conduct, but we trust you to always use
your best judgment. Reach out to your manager or HR if you have any issues or have any
questions.

Dress Code
We expect you to be clean when coming to work and avoid wearing unprofessional clothes (e.g.
workout clothes.)
As long as you conform to our guidelines, we don’t have specific expectations about what types
of clothes or accessories you should wear.
We also respect and permit grooming styles, clothes, and accessories that are dedicated to
religious beliefs, ethnicity, or disability.
Cyber security and digital devices
This section deals with all things digital at work. We want to set some guidelines for using
computers, phones, our internet connection, and social media to ensure security and protect our
assets.

Internet Usage
- Our corporate internet connection is primarily for business. But, you can occasionally
use our connection for personal purposes as long as they don’t interfere with your job
responsibilities. Also, we expect you to temporarily halt personal activities that slow
down our internet connection (e.g. uploading photos) if you’re asked to.

You must not use our internet connection to:

● Download or upload obscene, offensive or illegal material.


● Send confidential information to unauthorized recipients.
● Invade another person’s privacy and gain access to sensitive information.
● Download or upload pirated movies, music, material, or software.
● Visit potentially dangerous websites that can compromise our network and
computers’ safety.
● Perform unauthorized or illegal actions, like hacking, fraud, or buying/selling
illegal goods.

Cell phone
- We allow the use of cell phones at work. But, we also want to ensure that your
devices won’t distract you from your work or disrupt our workplace. We ask you to
follow a few simple rules:
● Use your cell phone in a manner that benefits your work (business calls,
productivity apps, calendars.)
● Keep personal calls brief and use an empty meeting room or common area so as
not to disturb your colleagues.
● Avoid playing games on your phone or texting excessively.
● Don’t use your phone for any reason while driving a company vehicle.
● Don’t use your phone to record confidential information.
● Don’t download or upload inappropriate, illegal, or obscene material using our
corporate internet connection.

Also, you must not use your phone in areas where cell phone use is explicitly prohibited
(e.g. laboratories.)

Corporate email
- Email is essential to our work. You should use your company email primarily for
work, but we allow some uses of your company email for personal reasons.

● Work-related use. You can use your corporate email for work-related purposes
without limitations. For example, you can sign up for newsletters and online
services that will help you in your job or professional growth.
● Personal use. You can use your email for personal reasons as long as you keep it
safe, and avoid spamming and disclosing confidential information. For example,
you can send emails to friends and family and download ebooks, guides, and
other safe content for your personal use.

Our general expectations


- No matter how you use your corporate email, we expect you to avoid:

● Signing up for illegal, unreliable, disreputable, or suspect websites and services.


● Sending unauthorized marketing content or emails.
● Registering for a competitor’s services, unless authorized.
● Sending insulting or discriminatory messages and content.
● Spamming other people’s emails, including your coworkers.

Social media
- We want to provide practical advice to prevent the careless use of social media in our
workplace. We address two types of social media uses: using personal social media at
work and representing our company through social media.

Using personal social media at work


- You are permitted to access your accounts at work. But, we expect you to act
responsibly, according to our policies, and ensure that you stay productive.
Specifically, we ask you to:

● Discipline yourself. Avoid getting sidetracked by your social platforms.


● Ensure others know that your account or statements don’t represent our company.
For example, use a disclaimer such as “opinions are my own.”
● Avoid sharing intellectual property (e.g trademarks) or confidential information.
Ask your manager or PR first before you share company news that’s not officially
announced.
● Avoid any defamatory, offensive, or derogatory content. You may violate our
company’s anti-harassment policy if you direct such content towards colleagues,
clients, or partners.
Representing our company through social media
- If you handle our social media accounts or speak on our company’s behalf, we expect
you to protect our company’s image and reputation. Specifically, you should:

● Be respectful, polite, and patient.


● Avoid speaking on matters outside your field of expertise when possible.
● Follow our confidentiality and data protection policies and observe laws
governing copyrights, trademarks, plagiarism, and fair use.
● Coordinate with our Marketing Department when you’re about to share any
major-impact content.
● Avoid deleting or ignoring comments for no reason.
● Correct or remove any misleading or false content as quickly as possible.

Conflict of interest
When you are experiencing a conflict of interest, your personal goals are no longer aligned with
your responsibilities towards us. For example, owning stocks of one of our competitors is a
conflict of interest.

In other cases, you may be faced with an ethical issue. For example, accepting a bribe may
benefit you financially, but it is illegal and against our business code of ethics. If we become
aware of such behavior, we will lose our job and may face legal trouble.

For this reason, conflicts of interest are a serious issue for all of us. We expect you to be vigilant
to spot circumstances that create conflicts of interest, either to yourself or for your direct reports.
Follow our policies and always act in our company’s best interests. Whenever possible, do not
let personal or financial interests get in the way of your job. If you are experiencing an ethical
dilemma, talk to your manager or HR and we will try to help you resolve it.

Employee relationships
We want to ensure that relationships between employees are appropriate and harmonious. We
outline our guidelines and we ask you to always behave professionally.

Fraternization
- Fraternization refers to dating or being friends with your colleagues. In this policy,
“dating” equals consensual romantic relationships and sexual relations. Non-
consensual relationships constitute sexual violence and we prohibit them explicitly.

Dating colleagues
- If you start dating a colleague, we expect you to maintain professionalism and keep
personal discussions outside of our workplace.

You are also obliged to respect your colleagues who date each other. We won’t
tolerate sexual jokes, malicious gossip, and improper comments. If you witness this
kind of behavior, please report it to HR.

Dating managers
- To avoid accusations of favoritism, abuse of authority, and sexual harassment,
supervisors must not date their direct reports. This restriction extends to every
manager above an employee.
Also, if you act as a hiring manager, you aren’t allowed to hire your partner to your
team. You can refer them for employment to other teams or departments where you
don’t have any managerial or hiring authority.

Friendships at work
- Employees who work together may naturally form friendships either in or outside of
the workplace. We encourage this relationship between peers, as it can help you
communicate and collaborate. But we expect you to focus on your work and keep
personal disputes outside of our workplace.

Employment of relatives
- Everyone in our company should be hired, recognized, or promoted because of their
skills, character, and work ethic. We would not like to see phenomena of nepotism,
favoritism, or conflicts of interest, so we will place some restrictions on hiring
employees’ relatives.

To our company, a “relative” is someone who is related by blood or marriage within


the third degree to an employee. This includes: parents, grandparents, in-laws,
spouses or domestic partners, children, grandchildren, siblings, uncles, aunts, nieces,
nephews, step-parents, step-children, and adopted children.

As an employee, you can refer your relatives to work with our company. Here are our
only restrictions:

● You must not be involved in a supervisory/reporting relationship with a relative.


● You cannot be transferred, promoted, or hired inside a reporting relationship
with a relative.
● You cannot be part of a hiring committee when your relative is interviewed for
that position.
If you become related to a manager or direct report after you both become employed
by our company, we may have to transfer one of you.

Workplace visitors
- If you want to invite a visitor to our offices, please ask for permission from our HR
Manager/ Security Officer/ Office Manager first. Also, inform our [reception/ gate/
front-office] of your visitor’s arrival. Visitors should sign in and show identification.
They will receive passes and will be asked to return them to reception/ gate/front
office once their visit is complete.

When you have office visitors, you also have responsibilities. You should:

● Always tend to your visitors (especially when they are underage.)


● Keep your visitors away from areas where there are dangerous machines,
chemicals, confidential records, or sensitive equipment.
● Prevent your visitors from proselytizing your colleagues, gathering donations, or
requesting participation in activities while on our premises.

Anyone who delivers orders, mail, or packages for employees should remain at our
building’s reception or gate. If you are expecting a delivery, front office employees/
security guards will notify you so you may collect it.

Solicitation and distribution


Solicitation is any form of requesting money, support, or participation for products, groups,
organizations, or causes which are unrelated to our company (e.g. religious proselytism, asking
for petition signatures.) Distribution means disseminating literature or material for commercial or
political purposes.
We don’t allow solicitation and distribution by non-employees in our workplace. As an
employee, you may solicit from your colleagues only when you want to:

● Ask colleagues to help organize events for another employee (e.g. adoption/birth of a
child, promotion, retiring.)
● Seek support for a cause, charity, or fundraising event sponsored, funded, organized, or
authorized by our company.
● Invite colleagues to employee activities for an authorized non-business purpose (e.g.
recreation, volunteering.)
● Ask colleagues to participate in employment-related activities or groups protected by law
(e.g. trade unions.)

EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS


We genuinely support quality of life for our employees including their families through our
various Employee Benefits programs. Samsung has designed several compensation and benefits
policies based on the total return of work.

COMPENSATION
Salaries and wages are the main strategies that Samsung Electronics practices in terms of
compensating its employees. The salary is associated with the designation of an employee
linking their job responsibilities and other special tasks. There is a common practice of non-
compensation benefits that Samsung Electronics offers from time to time to their employees
based on their new performance.

Cash compensation is about minimum wages and incentives while provided by Samsung are
income protection and work/life balance of the employees. The cash compensation of Samsung
is delivered in the form of basic wage/salary and performance-based incentives.
The compensation of employees is determined by group profit sharing partially. Profit-sharing
gives out to employees in the form of cash or stock. Other than that, Samsung makes an effort in
providing various benefits to the employees because Samsung focuses on talent engagement.
Samsung provides income protection to its employees and assists employees’ health, children’s
education, mortgage, and after-retirement. Samsung provides national pension schemes, health
insurance, industrial accident insurance, employment insurance, and medical expense support.

Strategy Compensation Decisions


Pay relationships in Samsung are divided into five grades. Third class employees or higher (new
employee higher than a college graduate, new worker) are under an annual salary policy while
fourth and fifth class employees (higher than high school graduates) accept a monthly salary.
The basic salary has a set table of grade-based schemes and compensation is differentiated only
according to performance to ensure fairness and competitiveness in its compensation schemes.

DATA PRIVACY AND CYBERCRIME PREVENTION

Every Samsung Galaxy smartphone out there comes with Samsung's Knox. The Knox layer is a
military defense-grade security system that helps protect smartphones from malware and remote
attacks. This mobile security system from the chip up is trusted by many governments
worldwide.

Samsung outsources the processing of personal information to third parties to provide services.
Personal information processing is outsourced to each service provider, only to the extent that
this will be necessary to provide each service individually.

In respect of personal information disclosed to service providers, to safeguard privacy Samsung


mandate such service providers clearly to: comply with data protection instructions; keep
personal information confidential; not share data with third parties; take full responsibility in the
event of an incident, and return or destroy personal information after outsourcing or use of the
data ceases. Samsung supervises them to ensure the secure processing of personal information. If
a service provider or its task is changed, Samsung will let you know by placing a notice on the
website (or in writing, via e-mail, phone, or SMS).

● Samsung respects the privacy of current and former employees and treats all information
with confidentiality and integrity.
● Except for the following three occasions, employee consent shall always require to before
sure of personal information:

- When required due to a particular legal regulation or obligation.

- When required in performing tasks decided upon by a public authority.

- When a legal representative cannot express intention or give prior consent, and when
the information is deemed necessary for the imminent benefit of one’s life and property.

● Samsung announced its Global Policy on Personal Information to reinforce data


protection and has policies in place that reflect regional regulatory environments and
local characteristics.
● Samsung made a checklist to examine personal information risks at each stage of
planning, development, operation, and disposal of products and services and then made
preventive measures mandatory.
● Samsung also provides guides such as Privacy Guidelines and the Data Protection
Handbook Employees’ Guidelines on Personal Information to support all employees in
thoroughly managing personal information they may get while working.
● For this, Samsung organized a unit exclusively in charge of this issue and conducted
training on personal information protection for all employees.
● To reinforce personal information protection, Samsung established an organization
exclusively in charge of personal information protection in 2015, placing it directly under
the head of the Corporate Legal Office.
● The organization is responsible for establishing strategies of data protection, operating
policies, building/reinforcing processes, consulting/ supporting privacy legal
management, and preventing/auditing security issues regarding products and services. In
addition, we designate a Data Protection Officer (DPO) at each business division,
