Employee Handbook Addendum Attendance Guidelines & Notification Procedure Every employee must be responsible for good attendance and make an effort to be at work every day and on time.

1 Employee Handbook Addendum Attendance Guidelines & Notification Procedure Every employee must be responsible for good attendance and make an effort to be at work every day and on time. If we are to reach our goals of on-time delivery, quality, and customer satisfaction, we must do whatever we can to minimize absences. Unscheduled time away from work results in lost wages for you, and loss of support for your work team, placing an added burden on them to carry your workload. We have established a goal of 2% maximum absenteeism for our plant. The following guidelines are established to achieve fairness and consistency across all areas of the plant in managing to this goal: Unscheduled paid time off in excess of 40 hours within a rolling 12 months counts as an absence for absentee calculation. The following absences are not counted against the absentee calculation: Jury Duty, Military Leave, Bereavement, STD Leave, FMLA, Paid Time Off, No Work Unpaid Time, Weather in the case of a State of Emergency and Workers Comp absences. If you know in advance that you have to be off work or leave early for an appointment, you must let your supervisor know in advance. All appointments should be scheduled during non-working hours whenever possible. If this is not possible, the appointments need to be scheduled late in the day so that you miss a minimum amount of work. Most appointments of any kind should not require you to miss an entire shift of work. An employee is considered tardy if they report to their workstation / team meeting later than their scheduled start time, break return time, or lunch return time. If you are going to be unexpectedly late or absent, you must report your absence by calling You must state your name, the reason for your absence, how long you expect to be away from work, when you expect to return, and a phone number that you can be reached. You must report your absence every day you will be away from work. Call-ins must be made before your scheduled shift on the day of the absence. Failure to report an absence or tardiness may result in disciplinary action. Failure to report for work without calling in as required for three (3) consecutive work days ( 3 day no call, no show ) will be considered a voluntary resignation and will result in loss of employment. Attendance is part of your performance and will be addressed as any other performance issues. When we notice a trend approaching 2%, we will begin to discuss the situation with you. Disciplinary action will be taken as necessary up to and including separation for continued poor attendance (Calling your Supervisor to report an unplanned absence is optional, but you are required to call to officially report the absence.) Documentation will only be necessary if required to satisfy Family and Medical Leave, benefit eligibility or if requested by the company for other specific reasons. If calling in for FMLA, please state that in your message when reporting an absence. Mutual trust, teamwork, and a focus on satisfying customer needs are keys to running a successful business. We need your support in fulfilling these goals.

Kimball Electronics Internal Career Opportunity Guidelines KEJ will post job opportunities upon approval within our career center on Workday and will remain open for a minimum of one week. The Opportunity will contain the qualifications needed to successfully fill the open position. Any employee interested in being considered for an open position must apply online through our career center. A panel will interview the candidates following the Structured Panel Interview process. THINGS TO REMEMBER: Not everyone interested in a position will be interviewed. Only those interviewed will receive a personal response that they will or will not be placed in that position. All others will receive feedback as to the reason why they were not considered. Guidelines for Transfers or Shift Changes If an employee applies for an open position at the same level or another level, the following will be beneficial in being scheduled for an interview: 3 months in your current job assignment before applying for different job or shift. Acceptable work record (performance, behavior, quality) for the past 6 months. Less than 2% Absenteeism percentage in current rolling 12-month period KEJ reserves the right to make exceptions to this posting practice. KEJ also reserves the right to institute a temporary (30, 60, or 90 day) freeze on transfers, either between departments, shifts, or plants. The decision will be made by the General Manager, the Hiring Manager and the HR Manager. Examples of some of the exceptions would be: When an employee has been loaned for a special initiative or project, we reserve the right to hold a position open for that employee without going through the posting process; an employee needs to be moved due to an accommodation; or a line may need to be closed down and employees transferred to positions that are open, but not posted.

Paid Time Off is intended to be used for planned and pre-approved time away from work, but if desired, the employee may also use paid vacation time for unplanned illness (self or family) or other personal reasons at the general discretion of the employee. Unplanned paid time off will go towards the employee s attendance percentage after 40 hours in a rolling 12- month period. Unused paid time off (PTO) will be paid out by the last payroll in December for direct employees. Full-time employees, separated for either voluntary or involuntary reasons, are not eligible to receive compensation for any unused Paid Time Off.

6 Personal Music Devices Effective Monday, March 8, 2010 KEJ allows personal music devices on the shop floor. Listed below are guidelines to be followed. Personal music device guidelines: Only IPOD or MP3 player type equipment may be used. Cell phones cannot be used as a music playing device on the shop floor. The personal music device must be kept underneath ESD smock. Music is to be heard through ear buds and not by neighboring employees. Only one ear bud may be in use as the second ear must be free to hear co-workers, announcements and warnings. The 2nd ear bud must be inside the smock (either inside the collar or in the pocket). Personal music devices may not be used by forklift drivers and in areas where forklifts may travel such as Shipping, Receiving, Finished Goods, recycle area, the aisle between stockroom and parts prep, HMLV Assembly area #8, aisle to the stockroom, and along incoming receiving areas. Music may not be downloaded through the company computers for personal use. Charging of the music devices must be done outside of the workplace. Personal music devices shall be turned off during meetings and conferences. Music devices are not to be used during on-the-job training period(s). If you have questions regarding the appropriate use of the personal music devices, contact the HR or Safety Managers. KEJ reserves the right to make changes at any time to these guidelines, including eliminating the use of personal music devices. Cell Phones Personal cell phones are strictly prohibited on the production floor. The use of personal cell phones for picture taking is strictly prohibited in our Operations areas. Pictures taken in the office area or break areas shall not include equipment, product, or documentation. Please keep cell phones and smart watches in your locker or in your vehicle. Employees with company issued cell phones or cameras are not allowed to take pictures of military product or technical data unless the ITAR procedure is followed. Nor are employees allowed to send photos or customer information for use outside of the KEJ facility without following the KEJ ITAR Procedure. Devices with cameras are strictly prohibited on the production floor. Violators may be disciplined, up to and including separation.

7 FOD (Foreign Object Debris) Unapproved non-manufacturing items are not allowed within manufacturing areas, including: Food Drinks Chewing Gum Balloons Flowers Tobacco Cough Drops These items are restricted due to the risk posed to the customer s products. Dress Code Workplace attire and grooming must be neat, clean and appropriate for the workplace.

Employees who report to work inappropriately attired will be asked to leave work to change clothes and return.

8 Inclement Weather In the rare case that adjustments in the work schedule or closing of the facilities should take place, we will broadcast the announcement over the One Call Now, our 3rd party automated calling solution system and if possible, WITZ AM FM radio and WFIE News 14 TV stations. In order to receive direct communication from our 3rd party automated communications system, you must sign a release form. This form can be obtained from the H.R. Dept. If you do not hear a work schedule adjustment within two hours prior to the start of your work shift, consider work to occur as planned. In the event of severe weather, but not such at the time warrants closing the facility, we will make every attempt to find work for those that can make it to work. The ability to run even a portion of our production will help us to meet our customers delivery requirements. If the county has been placed in a state of emergency everyone should stay off the road except in case of an extreme emergency. The county does not consider going to work to fit within this category, so a state of emergency will be considered a work closing whether you hear an announcement or not. Please find the county weather advisory considerations below: 1. When a weather advisory has been issued, that is telling everyone to prepare for bad road conditions. 2. If the weather service is stating the roads are slick and hazardous, travel at your own risk. 3. If the county is in a state of emergency, don t attempt to drive until the emergency status has been lifted. CHANGE OF EMPLOYEE STATUS You, the employee, are responsible for keeping your personal data up to date and accurate using Workday.

9 Tobacco Policy To protect and enhance our air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of all employees, we maintain a tobacco/nicotine-free work environment. The use of tobacco/nicotine products including E Cigarettes and Vapor Pens is not allowed anywhere within our facilities. Tobacco/Nicotine use on Kimball property is only permitted in specifically designated areas. Smoking is prohibited in all of the enclosed areas within Kimball Electronics, without exception. This includes common work areas, the manufacturing facilities, conference and meeting rooms, private offices, hallways, breakrooms, stairs, restrooms, employer owned or leased vehicles, and all other enclosed facilities. Effective Monday, July 9, 2018 the only designated smoking area on Kimball Electronics property is outdoors, on the far north wall at the back of KEJ Plant #1, within the designated area. No one may smoke along any path way or walk way leading to or from the designated smoking area, nor may employees smoke at the picnic tables outside of the designated smoking area, nor outdoors in any of the grassy areas or the parking lots. Additionally, employees and visitors may smoke in their personal vehicles, but the smoke and tobacco products must be completely contained within the vehicle. It is not acceptable that either smoking or non-smoking employees are subjected to smoke while walking to their vehicle or any other destination on the Kimball Electronics Jasper premises. While Kimball Electronics Jasper makes this area available to smokers, it in no way has any legal responsibility to do so. Employees who choose to use these smoking areas do so at their own risk. No additional breaks are allowed to any employee who smokes. Finally, smokers and users of tobacco products must dispose of the remains in the proper containers. This helps to keep a neat and clean environment for all employees and our visiting partners and customers. Failure to comply with all of the components of this policy will result in disciplinary action that can lead up to and include separation of employment.
