Code of Conduct

The Polynesian Cultural Center (the “PCC”) was founded and is controlled by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints (“the Church”). The Church operates the PCC for the purpose of preserving the cultural heritage of the Pacific, educating the public regarding Polynesian Culture and the Church and providing employment for students to finance their education at Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYUH). BYUH is an institution of higher education that requires its students and employees to observe high standards of personal conduct. BYUH is also owned and controlled by the Church in order to provide education in an atmosphere of religious faith. Accordingly the public correctly identifies the PCC with the Church and BYUH. It is therefore vital that the conduct of PCC employees be in accordance with the Church’s ideals and principles and that all PCC employees serve as role models for the students who are enrolled at BYUH and/or work at PCC.

By accepting or continuing employment at the PCC, a person agrees to live in accordance with the following principles (“Standards of Personal Conduct”) on and off the job.

1. Abide by the standards of Christian living taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
   This includes being gracious, courteous and considerate of other, observing high principles of honor, integrity,
   and morality, and seeking to demonstrate in daily living those moral virtues encompassed by the restored gospelof Jesus Christ as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
2. Be honest in all behavior. This includes not stealing, cheating, knowingly giving false information, or being deceitful in any way.
3. Respect personal rights. This includes not physically or verbally abusing any person and not engaging in conduct that threatens the health or safety of others. PCC employees should treat all individuals on the job withrespect, and should not harass or engage in illegal discrimination against any person.
4. Respect the property rights of others. Personal property found on the Center’s premises will be returned to
   the owners if known or the lost and found located at the front entrance Customer Service kiosk.
5. Avoid drug abuse. This includes completely refraining from the possession, use, or distribution of any illegal narcotic or drug as defined by applicable law. This does not preclude a person from taking medicine as
   prescribed by a licensed practitioner of medicine.

7. Be chaste. The Church recognizes marriage only between a single man and a single woman. Chastity means
