Last Updated: 10/22/2025

At Freedom Workforce Solutions (FWS), our success is built on the foundation of integrity, respect, accountability, and professionalism. This Code of Conduct defines the expectations for everyone who represents our organization — including employees, contractors, and partners — to ensure we maintain a culture of excellence and ethical responsibility in all that we do. 

1. Our Core Principles

At FWS, we hold ourselves accountable to these guiding principles: 

• Integrity: We do what's right, even when no one is watching. 
• Respect: We treat everyone — clients, coworkers, and candidates — with dignity and fairness. 
• Safety: We prioritize the health and safety of every worker on every site. 
• Excellence: We commit to delivering superior service and measurable results. 
• Accountability: We take ownership of our actions and decisions. 

These principles reflect our mission: Empowering People. Powering Progress. 

2. Professional Behavior

Every FWS team member is expected to act in a professional, honest, and courteous manner. This includes: 

• Providing clear, accurate, and transparent communication.
• Maintaining confidentiality of client and employee information. 
• Upholding our reputation through ethical recruiting and placement practices. 
• Avoiding any conflicts of interest or self-dealing. 
• Refraining from harassment, bullying, or any form of discrimination. 

3. Equal Opportunity and Fair Treatment

Freedom Workforce Solutions is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to building a workforce that reflects diversity, promotes inclusion, and ensures equal access to opportunity for all — regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status. 

All employment decisions must be made on merit, performance, and qualifications. 

4. Safety and Compliance

We take workplace safety seriously. All associates are expected to: 

• Follow OSHA, client, and company safety protocols at all times. 
• Report unsafe conditions or incidents immediately. 
• Maintain required certifications (e.g., OSHA 10/30). 
• Participate in ongoing safety training. 

Safety is everyone's responsibility — and a key measure of our professionalism. 

5. Confidentiality and Data Protection 

Employees and contractors must protect all confidential information related to:

• Client contracts and pricing
• Employee records and payroll 
• Proprietary company data 
• Partner agreements and trade secrets

Personal and business data must only be accessed, shared, and stored in accordance with FWS's Privacy Policy and all applicable laws. 

6. Anti-Fraud and Ethical Conduct 

FWS maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward fraud, dishonest, or misrepresentation. This includes falsifying timecards, inflating hours, or submitting inaccurate billing or payroll data. Any violation will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination or legal prosecution. 

7. Conflict of Interest 

All personnel must avoid personal or financial relationships that could interfere with the best interest of FWS or our clients. Disclose any potential conflicts to your supervisor or Human Resources immediately. 

8. Reporting Concerns

We encourage an open-door policy. Anyone who observes unethical, unsafe, or illegal conduct is expected to report it promptly. Reports can be made confidentially to: 

saul@freedomworkforcesolutions.com

Retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited. 

9. Representation and Social Media Use

Employees must represent the company positively at all times — both in person and online. Do not post confidential or damaging information about FWS, clients, or coworkers on social media. Professionalism and discretion apply at all times. 

10. Our Commitment

Freedom Workforce Solutions was founded on principles of service, accountability, and leadership. We expect every member of our organization to demonstrate these values daily — building trust with our clients, empowering our workforce, and driving progress in every community we serve. 

Together, we are Freedom Workforce Solutions
