20 working days if the total employment is lower than 10 years

26 working days if the total employment is 10 or more years

Full time employees are entitled to their leave according to the regulations of the Polish Labour

Code, in addition to public holidays, with the leave year running from the 1st January, or the firstworking day of the year, to the 31st of December. The Company may specify when 5 days of thisleave are to be taken usually to coincide with office closedown periods (e.g. between Christmasand New Year).

At the beginning of the year the Employee should present their holiday plan for the actual year.The plan does not include holidays known as leave on request. Postponement of leaveor cancelation is possible at the request of the employee and has to be agreed with the manager.

The following approval procedure is used for holidays: Holidays Request Forms

Holiday requests forms are available in the administration and in the MobicaWikihttps://warsaw.mobica.pl:8888/ScrewTurnWiki/ (also attached with the Employee Handbook)

Holiday requests forms should be approved by client Project Managers, Mobica ProjectManagers and Mobica Director.

Confirmation of this approval from the client should be kept in the email box and/ or notedon the holiday request. If the client raises an objection to a request, Engineers must informa Manager or Director who will discuss the request with the client.

Employees should not automatically assume that the leave will be approved. In particular, theyshould not book tickets or make similar commitments until after approval.

At least a month's notice should be given for 1 week's holiday. If holiday of longer than a weekis required, at least 2 (ideally 3) months' notice should be given. Requests made with theappropriate notice are very likely to be approved. Requests made with shorter notice will beconsidered sympathetically but may well be refused.

Engineers needing small amounts of time off to attend to personal matters, including visits to thedoctor or dentist etc. should make up their hours via flexitime. Otherwise they should book leave.

Employees are encouraged to take their full annual leave entitlement. The following rules applyto unused leave:

The change of the booked leave is possible only:

On the Employees written request, justified with important reasons

On the Employers important reasons, if the absence of the Employee could create a seriousdisturbance in the company operations.

If an employee leaves Mobica having taken more or less holiday than their entitlement up to thedate of leaving, then their final pay will be adjusted accordingly. Employees are, however,

encouraged to take all their holiday entitlement before they leave.



9/30


2.6.2 Unpaid Leave

Where this results in an engineertaking more public holidays than the Polish entitlement then the surplus shall be classified as partof the engineers holiday entitlement. Public holidays do not count as working days in the monthand are recorded separately on the internal timesheet. When working outside Poland, a Managershould be notified in advance of public holidays other than normal Polish holidays and theseshould be noted on your internal timesheet.

Factory holidays present a particular problem. When working at a site that closes for annualholiday, you should discuss with a Manager, at the earliest opportunity, how this time can best beused, e.g. by working off-site, training, or working on another project for a short time.

2.7 Confidentiality and Security

Mobica and its customers work on very commercially sensitive projects and take

confidentiality very seriously. All information relating to Mobica or client commercial

operations is strictly confidential. Engineers are required under the terms of their contract

of employment to keep such information confidential.

That means you should not discuss, or disclose in anyway, to anyone outside of Mobica(and not limited to):

The names of customers, suppliers and Engineers

Details of projects Details of meetings

Sales and pricing information, marketing data, business plans and processes relatingto Mobica, customers or suppliers

If you are in doubt as to whether you should disclose an item of information, seek guidance firstlyfrom the manager or a Director.

In addition, for certain projects, clients request Engineers to sign individual confidentialityagreements. Engineers must not sign any such document without first checking witha Director or direct manager, who will examine the exact wording of the agreement in orderto protect Mobicas interests and Intellectual Property Rights . Engineers should note that in

the case of public sector work legislation may apply, whether or not an agreement is signed.Do not take confidential material out of the office or out of a client site without prior authorisation.When travelling with confidential material, do not read it where it can seen by other travellers.



10/30


Think carefully before sending confidential information via Email. Avoid including customer namesin Emails. Do not leave confidential Email lying around on PCs, especially on client sites.

When travelling with a laptop keep it with you at all times. Never leave it unattended in an insecure

place. Hard drives have to be always encrypted.Engineers are reminded that the confidentiality obligation continues after leaving Mobica,as defined in the Employee contract.

2.8 Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

Engineers are reminded that the copyright of all work produced by the employee duringthe employment with Mobica remains the property of Mobica or Mobicas client when this has beenagreed between Mobica and the client. The provisions of this clause extend to all works createdby the employee outside of normal working hours, with the exception of any work that is whollyunconnected with the employees employment with Mobica.

2.9 Career Reviews and Engineers AppraisalsIn order to provide direction for the employees career development, appraisals are carried outeach year by a Manager or Director.

The appraisal is normally in November or December with the preceding year being discussed andthe good and bad points of the Engineers professional work and Mobicas performance identified.Plans are made for the next period to develop the Engineers knowledge and experience. Theseplans will take into account, as far as possible, the persons preferences regarding careerdevelopment, such as location and the type of assignments.

At the Appraisal Update (in May/June), the primary task is to monitor how the actions/ plansidentified at the main appraisal are proceeding, are they still correct, have actions beenoverlooked, etc.

The results of the appraisal are recorded on review forms so that they can be referred toat the next appraisal. Engineers should prepare their comments in writing before an appraisalin order to make the discussion more constructive.

2.10Resignation

From time to time employees may wish to leave the company. The employee must provide writtennotification including the last anticipated day at work. The employee will be invited to a resignationinterview to discuss the reasons for leaving and remedy them if possible.

It is in everyones interests to inform the company as early as possible that they are looking foranother job. Advance warning gives more time to solve any issues and allows project work to be

handed over in good order.

The employee must return any company property and confidential information in their possessionincluding keys, computer equipment, documents, and files on CD etc.

Employees who leave will normally be welcome to rejoin at a later date.

2.11Responsible Use of Computer Equipment

It is desirable to take a break from the screen during the day. There is a legal requirement to takeat least 5 minutes break after working a period of 1 hour and for health reasons it is best takenaway from a screen.

13/30


4. Working On-Site

This section deals with aspects of employment specifically related to working on client sites.A major consideration is that the client will judge Mobica as a company by the behaviour of its

Engineers on site. In general you should avoid doing anything you would dislike if you were theclient.

In particular, the following should guide your conduct:

always act in the clients best interest where this is not at odds with the interest of Mobica

Be aware of confidentiality issues, and in particular do not divulge anything about Mobicasother clients, or other Mobica projects.

keep the client informed, through your project leader if appropriate

tell the truth

be courteous and reliable if you are treated inconsiderately do not take offence, but

in the event of any serious problem with client Engineers or site conditions do flag the issueto Mobica at the earliest opportunity

Credibility is hard to gain and easy to lose. You must always be punctual and reliable. Never giveestimates for completing a task to the client unless you are completely sure you have ample timeto deliver - it is much better simply to report progress. If necessary, refer the client to the MobicaManager responsible for that client, who will provide an estimate if essential. Dont guess - if youare not sure of the answer to a question, say so and offer to find out.

Fee rates should never be discussed with clients. If the question of fees arises, these should

always be referred to a Manager or Director.When working at a client site, employees must ensure that the Administrator at the Mobica officeis promptly advised of the telephone number and extension at which they can be contacted.

4.1 Hours

You should ensure that you work the hours contractually agreed between Mobica and the client.These will normally be 8 hours per day plus half an hour for lunch. In general you will be expectedto work in the same manner as the clients Engineers. For example, if they clock on and off youshould do so as well.

In particular, do not arrive late in the morning or take extended lunch hours. These things are

invariably noticed by the client (or his Engineers) and disliked. Leave should be agreed inadvance with the client, even if it is only a few hours.

If overtime is required please make sure that it is authorised by the client. Check this with theMobica Manager responsible for the client, as only authorised overtime will be paid. You mustrecord your hours on an external timesheet and have it signed by your manager (see 5.1 Internal& External Timesheets).

4.2 Use of Facilities

When working on site, the client should provide you with similar working conditions to those of hisown Engineers. If you think your conditions are unsatisfactory let a Manager know, so that theycan attempt to rectify the situation.

Do not use client facilities such as those listed below, unless required to in relation to yourprofessional work:



14/30


the photocopier the fax machine the telephone internet (web & email) the stationery store the subsidised canteen (unless specifically permitted by the client) reserved parking

4.3 Travel Time

Travelling time to clients sites is to be in staffs own time due to the flexible requirements of theBusiness.

Exceptions are inter-continental travels lasting more than 8 hours. In this case, the trip should bereported as an internal time.

4.4 Assignments Abroad

Make sure that your passport is in order and that you have the appropriate visas for the countriesyou will be visiting. You should normally allow at least 2 weeks for obtaining visas.

4.5 Travel Insurance

All employees are covered by medical insurance abroad. The person from the administrationshould give the person leaving the insurance number and tell how to contact the insurancecompany when that becomes necessary.

4.6 Back-ups

When working on site ensure that reliable and frequent backups of your work are being produced.If you have any doubt about the safety and reliability of the client site backup mechanisms offerto maintain your own backups, and do so.

onto the server. Files not loaded onto the server may be deleted. Let the Administrator knowwhether you wish to have your mail (subscriptions etc.) kept in the office or forwarded to you.

5.5 Computers and Development Equipment

It is obvious that all equipment, whether our clients, or ours should be treated with care.If the equipment belongs to a specific project, check with the project leader before using it. In allcases, read the equipment manual before use.

The administrator records all loaned equipment in a Loaned Assets account. They must be

informed whenever new equipment arrives, and whenever equipment changes location (so that wemay arrange appropriate insurance).

Check when installing software that Mobica has a license for it! You should always obtainpermission from your manager before loading any software onto a computer.

Be equally careful of other peoples program and data files. Do not run programs that may causefile corruption without checking that a backup copy exists. Do not delete files without checkingwith the owner that they are either obsolete or backed-up.

In general, leave equipment as you would like to find it. PCs should always be switched offat night unless running tests etc., except for certain general service machines (see 5.).

5.6 Parking

Please consult a manager for any local rules concerning parking.

24/30


Crouching will help the operator to keep clear of smoke and avoid heat and allow a closerapproach to the fire.

Always ensure that a fire is completely extinguished and not liable to re-ignite or continue

smouldering.Carbon dioxide extinguishers are suitable for use on electrical apparatus (though some damagemay be caused by extreme cold). It should not be used in confined spaces where there is adanger that fumes may be inhaled.

To operate the extinguisher, raise the horn so that it can be pointed at the fire, remove the pin andsqueeze the grip together. DO NOT hold the horn or the base of the cylinder as these becomeintensely cold. The jet will make a loud noise, will stretch about 6-7 feet and will last about 14seconds. Do not stop and start when using the extinguisher.

On fires in electrical equipment, switch off the current and then direct the jet or horn straight at thefire. Where the equipment is enclosed, direct the jet or horn into any opening with the object ofpenetrating the interior.

NOTE: the concentration of carbon dioxide required to extinguish a fire is 40%. This is a LETHALconcentration: withdraw immediately.

Extinguishers are only to be used to deal with small fires. Do not continue to fight a fire if it isdangerous to do so, if there is a possibility that the escape route may be cut off by fire or smoke orif the fire continues to grow in spite of your efforts. If you have to withdraw whenever possibleclose windows and doors behind you to limit the spread of flames and smoke.
