SMOKING AND VAPING
Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere in the building. If you choose to smoke or vape, please stand either outside or in designated areas. Please be conscious and considerate, as tobacco and nicotine can be an allergen in the office.
ALLERGIES AND DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
If you have an allergy, especially one that may be life-threatening, please notify your manager of the allergy and its severity, prior to your first day of work or as soon as you are aware of the allergy, also please always come in with your EPI pen. We will make every effort to accommodate.
We do request that employees be respectful of their colleagues' dietary choices and sensitivities. If you bring snacks to share, please label any common allergens and dietary info pertaining to the snack. Eg. you bring in vegan brownies but they include gluten, leave a sticky note that says “contains gluten, vegan friendly!”
PET OWNERS
Although we love pets in general, we’re not a pet-friendly office and kindly ask you to leave your little friends at home.
(No) DRESS CODE
For the most part our HQ is informal and does not have an official dress code. We trust you to make good judgements on what you wear to work. Consider what is appropriate for your schedule that day when making your clothing decisions. We encourage you to be comfortable and wear your favourite Kotn pieces!
Note that anyone wearing clothing displaying offensive pictures or language will be asked to cover it up or go home and change.
Retail employees are subject to a dress code when onsite at a retail location. Should your support be required at one of our store locations, please speak to the Retail Manager regarding in-store dress code.

This policy applies to the use of Kotn technology including, but not limited to, hardware, software and network connections.
On your first day at Kotn, you will receive a company laptop to use throughout the duration of your employment. We ask you to treat it with care, as you would your own, and use it for work related tasks. Kotn recognizes that, from time to time, you may use Kotn technology for personal reasons, however, it is expected that this limited use will be reasonable and will not interfere with business use or the performance of your job. Any hardware provided to you by the company is property of Kotn and will be required to be returned, should you end your time at Kotn.
Should you have any hardware issues, please speak with your direct manager and we will work to get your issue repaired in a timely manner.
