reading the guidebook, if you have any questions
please ask your Supervisor or a member of the Human Resources
Department.
Please remember that you play an important role in the overall success of
The Broadmoor. The Broadmoor is an outstanding resort, not because of

important product – exceptional service to our guests.
Once again, welcome to The Broadmoor family. We hope that you will

The Broadmoor Tradition
The Broadmoor’s present reflects it’s distinguished past in every phase of
operation. In large part, this is attributed to the staff, management, and
directors who have preserved elegant traditions for more than nine
decades.
The Broadmoor represents the culmination of one man’s dream to build
the finest hotel in the United States. The visionary, Spencer Penrose, was
many times a millionaire and one of the town’s most colorful and
prominent citizens. He made this dream a reality in 1918. Of his many
business and charitable pursuits, The Broadmoor remained foremost in
Mr. Penrose’s attentions and affections until his death in 1939. Penrose
endowed The Broadmoor and his numerous other holdings, to the El
Pomar Foundation, which he set up in 1937 as a non-profit philanthropic
organization to benefit the people and institutions of Colorado.
Over the years, a continuous expansion program has added to the
wonders of The Broadmoor. The Cheyenne Mountain Highway was
constructed by Spencer Penrose and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
opened. Mr. Penrose then added an indoor Riding Academy, which was
converted to an ice skating rink ten years later and is now the site of 150
deluxe rooms and suites. Other important openings include the Will
Rogers’ Shrine of the Sun, La Taverne, Terrace Pool, and The Hotel Bar.
As conventions and meetings increased business at the Hotel, the
facilities were further expanded. Since 1960, the following additions to
the 3,000 acre complex have been made: the South Tower of the Main
Complex, the International Center, the Golden Bee, Cheyenne Lodge, the
third 18-hole championship golf course, Broadmoor West, Colorado Hall,
West Ball Room, The Rocky Mountain Ball Room, West Tower, the Spa,
the Tennis Club, Lakeside Suites, the Cottages, Summit, Broadmoor Hall,
Play, Natural Epicurean, The Fish House, two Brownstones, The
Broadmoor’s Ranch at Emerald Valley, Cloud Camp, The Broadmoor
Fishing Camp, Ristorante del Lago, and the renovation of the original
West building adding 33 rooms. The Hotel continues to enhance and
update the many facilities and services offered to our guests. The
renovation of our restaurants and expansion of our retail shops has
helped to keep the tradition alive. Recreational activities such as golf,
tennis, swimming, paddle boating, white-water rafting, horseback riding,
and hot air ballooning are available. These activities, plus the many
14
famous scenic attractions of the Pikes Peak Region, help make The
Broadmoor one of the world’s premier destination resorts.
Anschutz Corporation
In October of 2011, the Anschutz Corporation, headed by Philip
Anschutz, purchased the Oklahoma Publishing Company, which
included The Broadmoor. Mr. Anschutz has pledged to continue the
stewardship and traditions of excellence which have made The
Broadmoor what it is today and invest in its future.
Building a Tradition of Excellence
A deep respect for The Broadmoor history and traditions endures and is
complemented with continued investment in renovation and restoration
of the beautiful facilities. With warm remembrances of the past, we look
to the future and follow the dream of Spencer Penrose to continue
upgrading and further enhancing The Broadmoor experience so it may
be enjoyed by future generations of employees and guests.
While The Broadmoor is rich in history, tradition, and ambiance, it is
ultimately our conscientious employees providing exceptional service in a
warm and friendly manner that makes The Broadmoor one of the world’s
finest resorts. The efforts of each and every employee together provide
our guests with the quality service and experience they have come to
expect from us.

II. HOTEL INFORMATION
HOTEL INFORMATIONHOTEL INFORMATION
HOTEL INFORMATION
The following questions are asked frequently by our guests. We like our
employees to be familiar with these questions so that they may assist
guests in a knowledgeable manner.
Q) When was The Broadmoor’s grand opening? Who built it?
A) The Hotel opened June 29, 1918 and was built by Spencer
Penrose.
Q) Why is the letter “A” in the name BROADMOOR raised?
A) Spencer Penrose was intent on having his hotel be called The
BROADMOOR. There were other properties in the country with
the same name and there were copyright laws governing
duplicating this name. So Spencer raised the “A” making his logo
appear differently, thus circumventing the copyright laws.
Q) How far is it around the lake?
A) The walkway surrounding the perimeter of the lake is 3/4 of a
mile.
Q) What are our check-in and check-out times?
A) Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at noon.
Q)
How many rooms and suites do we have?
A) The Broadmoor currently has 779 rooms including two
brownstones. This number increased from 746 following the
West renovation in 2014. One hundred thirty of our guest rooms
16
are considered suites, with seven of these rooms designated as
Signature Suites. These Signature Suites include the Penrose
Suite, Carlton Suite, Gaylord Suite, Edith K. Gaylord Suite, Parker
Suite, North Cheyenne Mountain Suite, and South Cheyenne
Mountain Suite. Forty-four of our rooms are part of the Golf
Course Cottages.
Q) When did we complete the renovation of the Main Hotel?
A) The Main Hotel Renovation, including the new Hotel Bar was
completed in April of 2002.
Q) When did we complete the renovation of the West Building?
A) The West Building Renovation, including Ristorante Del Lago
and Natural Epicurean, was complete in May of 2014.
Q) What are the murals in the Hotel Bar? Is there a story behind
them?
A) On June 29, 1918 The Broadmoor Hotel opened its doors for
business. Founder Spencer Penrose was known for his marketing
genius and in the summer of 1920 decided on a plan to market
the awareness of The Broadmoor to the country. Being located
in Colorado Springs with a population of 8,000 people, this was
not an easy task.
Spencer decided he would invite the leading hoteliers of that
time to visit The Broadmoor and let them experience the luxuries
of this new Hotel. His invitation was delivered to 55 hoteliers
who were managing the grand hotels of America. These hotels
spanned the country from the East to the West coasts including
such famed hotels as the Concord, St. Regis, Waldorf, Vanderbilt,
and Plaza in New York City to the Del Coronado in San Diego.
Spencer estimated the combined worth of the hoteliers to be
17
$100,000,000 and named the group “The $100 Million Hotel
Club.”
Spencer organized a series of Pullman cars to accompany his
own, and two luxury train cars, the Newport and the Mather,
whose stateroom suites would be used for entertainment during
the trip. The esteemed group departed on September 10, 1920
from Grand Central Station to bring them to The Broadmoor for
their week of festivities. Spencer had organized their entire trip
assuring them they were his guests. The only exception was that
Spencer requested them to bring “Six bottles of Eau de Cologne”
each.
You may not recall, but this trip was made during the period of
the “Great Drought” or Prohibition, as we all remember it.
Spencer had many friends and fortunately one of them was Mr.
Thomas E. Rush, an agent with the U.S. Custom and Treasury
Service. Mr. Rush actually sent Spencer a letter advising him on
how his friends should package their “gasoline,” as Mr. Rush
referred to the alcohol, so it would not be discovered during
their train trip. “If the guest intends on carrying supplies in their
grip, be sure they are locked separately… little chance of being
disturbed if they do this,” said Mr. Rush. Upon their arrival at The
Broadmoor, Spencer had a fleet of Pierce Arrow cars available for
their use, with or without a driver.
Spencer’s invitation outlined a week full of activities airplane
races from Denver to Colorado Springs, polo matches, and car
races to the top of Pikes Peak (now known as the Pikes Peak Hill
Climb). The winner of this race was awarded the Penrose Cup,”
a trophy valued at $5,000 at that time. Spencer’s invitation also
described the evenings to be filled with great food, drink,
entertainment, and “Dancing with your lovely wives.” However,
“Dancing with your lovely wives” was in very small font and was
printed on the bottom of the invitation. So, it was no surprise
when Spencer’s gentleman friends arrived without their wives.
The week concluded with all guests certainly knowing of The
Broadmoor and how truly exceptional it was.
Following their return home, a letter was written to Spencer
proclaiming him the “Prince of Entertainment. Spencer was
18
invited to New York City the following year to be honored at the
Hotel Commodore on September 23, 1921. Only those invited to
The Broadmoor attended this evening and each was asked to
bring their testimonials. That evening Spencer was presented an
engraved silver plaque personally designed and built by Mr. Frost
of the famous House of Black, Starr and Frost. This event soon
turned into an annual dinner where these same individuals
returned to New York City to enjoy yet another evening of food,
drink and camaraderie. They soon named their group the
“Tavern Club” (In recognition, Spencer also named The
Broadmoor’s restaurant The Tavern”). Membership in the group
was by recommendation only, and the individual had to have
unanimous approval. Even today, The Tavern Club continues to
meet on an annual basis.
As you exit, you will see the inscription “Au revoir, but not
goodbye.” These were Spencer’s parting words to his friends
who helped shape the story of “The Hotel Bar.
Q) How many golf courses do we have?
A) We have three 18-hole championship golf courses. The East and
West courses were designed by Donald Ross and Robert Trent
Jones. The Mountain course has been re- designed by the Jack
Nicklaus Design Group. It re-opened in July of 2006 with a new
Mountain Clubhouse housing a small café and retail shop.
Q) How many swimming pools do we have and where are they?
A) We have three swimming pools and three hot tubs on the
property. The Golf Club/Spa pools and hot tub are open year
round. The Terrace Pool and hot tubs are open seasonally.
Q) Can you swim or fish in the lake?
A) Neither swimming nor fishing is allowed in the lake.
19
Q) Where can a guest make reservations for breakfast, lunch, dinner
or Sunday brunch?
A) For all in-house guests, reservations can be made through the
Concierge Department at Ext. 5252 or Central Dining at Ext.
5733. For all guests due to arrive and for our local patrons,
reservations can be made through the Central Dining
Department or by calling the restaurants directly. (Ex. Summit
577-5896)
Q) Where can a guest get ice and what does it cost?
A) Housekeeping fills the ice buckets each afternoon at 3:00pm and
at turndown. For additional ice, call Housekeeping at Ext. 5320.
It is complimentary.
Q) What are our room rates?
A) Room rates during the peak season range from $420 to $565,
with suites and cottages ranging from $650 to $5600 depending
on size and location. We often offer special promotions and
reduced rates.
Q) Where can a guest go to feed the ducks?
A) The ducks and geese may not be fed. The Division of Wildlife and
State Law prohibits feeding waterfowl.
Q) Do we have activities for children? Where should you direct the
call?
A) The Concierge Department can arrange for baby-sitting and
children’s activities in the Bee Bunch Program. Call the Concierge
Desk at Ext. 5252. Other activities available include Bowling at
PLAY, shuffle board, and video games.
20
Q) Where can guests go dancing?
A) There is dancing in the Penrose Room and in La Taverne.
Dancing may be arranged in other places for special occasions.
Q) Which dining room is most formal?
A) The Penrose Room is our most formal dining room. Jackets
are required for men, evening wear for ladies.
Q) Where did the interior of the Golden Bee originally come from?
A) The Golden Bee bar came to New York in the early 1900’s from
London, England. It is a restored authentic English Pub from the
19th century. It arrived at The Broadmoor on May 27, 1961 from
the London Terrace section of New York City.
Q) What is the design of the marble for the stairway in the South
Building?
A) The marble used in the South building’s staircase was imported
from Pisa, Italy. It is made in such a way that the marble is split
down the middle and laid so that it is a mirror image of itself. This
gives the marble the unique feather effect which is famously
called “book-matching.”
Q) Why does the lake not freeze over?
A) We have a specially designed aerification system that circulates
the water year round.
Q) When do the shuttles run and where are the boarding locations?
21
A) Shuttle service starts at 6:00am and ends at 1:30am each day.
The shuttles service the Main building, West building, South
Tower, Golf/Spa building, Event Center (Broadmoor Hall,
Colorado Hall, and International Center) and the Cottages.
Outside of the Hotel, the shuttle also may take guests to
Starsmore Visitor and Nature Center, the Cheyenne Mountain
Zoo, and a special shuttle for transportation to Seven Falls.
Q) What is so special about the ceiling in the Mezzanine?
A) It was originally painted by a very superstitious and religious
Italian artist who thought that if he ever painted a perfect piece
of art, God would punish him. He believed that only God could
create something of perfection. When he was painting the
ceiling of the “Blue Room,” which is now called the Mezzanine,
he received so many compliments that he began to get worried.
He decided then to paint an intentional flaw into the picture. To
see this flaw, look at the couple dancing on either end of the
ceiling and notice the man’s feet.
Q) Where did the animal trophies on the front portico come from?
A) The trophies belonged to Spencer Penrose and were originally
kept in the hunting lodge on Cheyenne Mountain. When the
lodge was destroyed in 1976, the trophies were brought to the
Hotel.
Q) What is our largest event center?
A) Broadmoor Hall is our newest and largest meeting space at
60,000 square feet. It is the largest pillar-less meeting space west
of the Mississippi (outside of Las Vegas) and has a full banquet
kitchen and a state of the art audio-visual system.
Q) What is the light on the mountain and where do the hourly
chimes come from?
22
A) Will Rogers’ Shrine of the Sun was built by Spencer Penrose
between 1934 and 1937; it stands dedicated to Will Rogers who
died in a plane crash in 1935. The elevation of the shrine is 8,136
feet on the top deck and provides breathtaking views of
Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region.

III. GUEST RELATIONS
GUEST RELATIONSGUEST RELATIONS
GUEST RELATIONS
Courtesy to our Guests
Your attitude is the single most important factor in
performing your job to meet The Broadmoor standards.
Whether you work in the front-of-the-house or in the
heart-of-the-house, maintaining and displaying a friendly,
professional and positive attitude is the key to success in
dealing with guests and your fellow employees.
The service and courtesy you extend creates a warm and lasting
impression guests will remember. A cheerful smile and a friendly,
professional greeting go a long way toward making someone feel
important and appreciated. Even the best food and the finest
accommodations will not be fondly remembered if the service was poor.
There is NEVER
NEVER NEVER
NEVER any excuse to be impolite or rude to a guest; any
problem can be solved by courteous, polite behavior. A question from a
guest should never be considered an interruption. No matter how small
the request or trivial the question, you are expected to respond in a
prompt, cheerful, courteous and enthusiastic manner. While you may
have heard the same question a thousand times, remember, this guest
has only asked it once.
If you do not know the correct answer to a guest’s question, do not
guess. Giving inaccurate information only frustrates a guest and does not
leave him or her with a good impression of you or The Broadmoor.
Rather, your answer should always be, “Let me find that out for you.” or
“Let me check on that.” Go to the nearest house phone and call the
Concierge at Ext. 5252 or try to find someone who knows the answer. If
finding the information will take a while, make arrangements to get back
to the guest with the information (preferably within ten minutes).
Remember, always follow-up with a guest and leave a positive
impression.
Even our team members who generally do not have direct guest contact
still have a great impact on the overall impression of our hotel and staff.
The neatness of our grounds, cleanliness of restaurants, guest rooms,
public spaces and the quality of the food all combine to remind our guest
35
that The Broadmoor is, indeed, a world class resort. Be proud to serve the
guests of The Broadmoor and the tradition that has made this one of the
finest resorts in the world.
Addressing Guests
In striving to go “Above and Beyond” our guests’ expectations you
should
always
always always
always
address a guest by name. We all like to be recognized by
name. Whenever addressing a guest, particularly when welcoming a
guest to The Broadmoor or saying “Thank you,” use the guest’s name if
you know it. Of course, guests should always be addressed in a friendly,
professional manner using the last name and appropriate title (i.e. Mr.,
Ms., Mrs., Dr., Captain, etc.) For example, “Good morning Ms. Smith.”
Many of our phones are equipped with screens to show the name of a
guest calling from his or her room to make this easier. However, you can
also train yourself to learn a guest’s name by listening or observing
carefully. For example, a door attendant might note a guest’s luggage
I.D. tag and use his or her name with a warm welcome. Likewise, a food
or cocktail server should always note the name on a credit card or room
key used to pay the check and thank the guest using his or her name.
Always use the guest’s name to personalize your communication with
our guests.
Guest Complaints
Take ownership of complaints and learn to see them as a challenge.
Remember that a guest who complains about a problem is doing us a
favor in allowing us an opportunity to resolve the problem not only for
them, but also for future guests.
Despite our best efforts, some of our guests are going to have problems
or complaints. If you get a complaint, please follow these simple steps:
36
1.
If you can handle the problem yourself, please do so quickly,
efficiently, and courteously.
2.
Look at the guest as he or she is talking to you and listen
attentively, showing empathy for the guest.
3.
Thank the guest for calling the matter to your personal attention
and apologize for any inconvenience.
4.
If it is possible, write a note in the presence of the guest,
outlining the nature of the problem, assuring him or her that you
are making an effort to help.
5.
Assure the guest that you will inform your Supervisor of the
problem.
6.
Inform your Supervisor of both the complaint and your actions.
7.
If you cannot handle the particular complaint, ask the guest to
please wait while you go and get your Supervisor or the
Assistant Manager. The Assistant Manager can be reached by
dialing 0” for the operator who will transfer you to the Assistant
Manager on duty.
An easy way to remember this is to take the problem to H.E.A.R.T.

You will find that even the most irate guest will become calm and less
annoyed if you remain calm, courteous and attentive. You may not
always feel a guest is “right,” but please remember that he or she is
always our guest and should be treated with the utmost courtesy and
37
respect. Furthermore, complaints help us to grow and become better as
a Hotel.
Broadmoor History of Excellence

ratings that give us a worldwide reputation for elegance, quality and
service.

the general physical quality and the level of service offered at a property.

Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. Membership in Preferred Hotels
is represented in 20 different countries including more than 170 hotels
and resorts. Preferred Hotels are known for providing guests with
distinctive surroundings, personal service and outstanding cuisine.
Guest Accidents
In the event you witness a guest accident, it is very important to follow
these specific procedures:
38
1.
First, find out if the guest is seriously injured and let him/her
know you are going to call for assistance.
2.
Second, always call Loss Prevention’s Emergency Number, Ext.
5100, immediately and be ready to give exact details. Both you
and the guest should wait there until a Loss Prevention
Officer arrives.
3.
Notify your immediate Supervisor of your exact location.
You should address comments as to what you have observed only to
Loss Prevention or to your immediate Supervisor.
Remember, at The Broadmoor, all accidents, no matter how small, must
be reported to Loss Prevention
immediately
! While waiting for a Loss
Prevention Officer or paramedics to arrive, you should make the guest as
comfortable as possible; however, you should not attempt first aid unless
you are certified to do so.
Never move a seriously injured guest. Never
discuss the accident with the guest.
Guest Privacy
You must not divulge names or room numbers of our guests. Employees
may not ask for autographs of celebrities or initiate conversations with
them. Celebrity guests should be treated with the same respect and
regard for their privacy as any other hotel guest. Employees are not

to be in the guest room.
You are in a position to observe the personal actions of many people and
it is mandatory that you refrain from discussing your observations either
within or outside the Hotel. You are in a position of trust.
Guest Misconduct
This problem rarely occurs, but if a guest is displaying excessive
misconduct, be as polite as possible and notify Loss Prevention at Ext.
39
5101, then notify your Supervisor. Be sure to get a good description of
the guest if he or she leaves your work area in order to make an accurate
report to Loss Prevention. Also, you can contact the Assistant Manager of
duty by dialing “0” and ask the operator to alert the Assistant Manager.
Guest V.I.P. Pin
Every one of our guests at The Broadmoor is a V.I.P.
(Very Important Person). However, a few of our
guests will be given a special lapel pin to wear
during their stay. If you see a person wearing a
round gold lapel pin with a maroon scroll “B” logo
and five maroon stars above it, that person is a V.I.P.
guest who is responsible for providing the Hotel a
great deal of business. Any person being escorted through the Hotel by a
member of our Sales staff should also be treated as a V.I.P. even if he or
she is not wearing a V.I.P. Pin. Please look for the V.I.P. Pin.
A V.I.P. guest is often a decision-maker for a group of people he or she
represents, so make every effort to accommodate their requests and
answer any questions. Your extra courtesy to a V.I.P. guest will contribute
to The Broadmoor’s success and your own.
Guest Contact
Our guests come to us with high expectations and it is our mission not
only to meet those expectations, but to continually strive to go “Above
and Beyond” our guests’ expectations. Warm welcomes and accurate
answers to questions are certainly expected by our guests. However,
going ”Above and Beyond” means taking that extra step to provide
personal service. For instance, provide a guest with a personal welcome,
use his or her name, or escort a guest to a meeting room or restaurant
rather than simply giving directions. When you complete training in your
department, you will be asked to sign an acknowledgement form
agreeing to maintain the service standards of the Hotel, and specifically,
your department. As you become more familiar with your new role, think
of ways you can go “Above and Beyond” in your department.

Lost and Found
Guests and fellow employees occasionally misplace or forget personal
items. If you find any item, you must turn it in to your Supervisor or Loss
Prevention immediate

result in disciplinary action. Guests and employees may phone Loss
Prevention at Ext. 5101 to inquire about lost items, but please do not
direct guests to the Main Loss Prevention Office to retrieve items, as it is
located in an employee area. The item(s) will be brought to the
Concierge or Front Desk for the guest to pick up.
When you turn in an item, please be sure that Loss Prevention logs it. If
items are unclaimed after 30 days, the person who turned them in may
claim them. Items of great value, such as valuable jewelry, may be held
for 90 days.

We expect each and every employee to understand and follow the
guidelines of the Hotel. We must all follow the same rules so that we can
be consistent and create and maintain a positive working environment.
Employee Classification

Seasonal/ On-
Call
An employee who works for a specified time period
or for a specific assignment
Evaluation Period
The first 90 days of employment for every employee is an
evaluation
period
. It is an opportunity for you and the Hotel to get to know each
other.
During this first 90 days, your job performance, attendance, attitude, and
overall interest in your job will be observed by your Supervisor. During
this period you will not be eligible for most Hotel benefits, such as
holiday pay, vacation pay, or insurance coverage. Transfers during this
90 day period are normally not permitted.
Throughout the evaluation period, the Hotel will be assessing your
performance as an employee. Employees who fail to demonstrate the
commitment, performance, and attitude expected by the Hotel may be
42
terminated at any time during the evaluation period. However,
completion of the evaluation period does not change or alter the “at will”
employment relationship. You continue to have the right to terminate
your employment at any time, with or without cause or notice, and the
Hotel has a similar right.
As a result of an extended excused absence during your evaluation
period or for other reason identified by management, the Hotel may
choose to extend your evaluation period as necessary to give you further
opportunity to demonstrate your ability to do the job. If your evaluation
period is extended, you will be notified.
Equal Employment Opportunity
It is our policy to employ well-qualified people to perform the various jobs
and assignments necessary to properly conduct our day-to-day business.
An important part of this policy is to provide equal employment
opportunity for all persons in recruiting, hiring, benefits, compensation,
training, promotions, transfers, terminations, Hotel sponsored social and
recreational activities and any other terms and conditions of employment
without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including
same sex), pregnancy, childbirth and related conditions, citizenship
status, age, marriage to a co-worker (subject to certain conditions), sexual
orientation, service member status, genetic information or disability or
any other category protected under federal, state or local laws.
This policy is to be reflected in the conduct of day-to-day operations and
in all practices and procedures. Each employee will be accountable for
his or her actions while engaged in Hotel business. It is expected that
each employee will support our policy and will assist in promoting a
positive work environment for all employees.
43
No Harassment Policy
We do not tolerate harassment of any kind towards employees or guests.
Any form of harassment related to an individual’s race, color, religion,
national origin, sex (including same sex), pregnancy, childbirth and
related conditions, citizenship status, age, marriage to a co-worker
(subject to certain conditions), sexual orientation, service member status,
genetic information or disability or any other category protected under
federal, state or local laws and will be treated as a disciplinary matter.
For these purposes, the term harassment” includes slurs as well as any
other offensive remarks, jokes or other verbal, graphic, or physical
conduct. Harassment also includes sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, unwelcome or offensive touching and other conduct of a sexual
nature. If you have questions about what constitutes harassing behavior
or what conduct is prohibited by this policy, ask your Supervisor.

You may be assured that your complaint will be kept as confidential as

You should also be aware that no Supervisor or other member of
management has the authority to suggest to any employee that the
employee’s continued employment or future advancement will be
affected in any way by that employee’s entering into (or refusing to enter
into) any form of personal relationship with the Supervisor or member of
management. Harassment of our employees in connection with their
work by non-employees may also be a violation of this policy. Any
employee who observes or experiences any harassment of an employee
by a non-employee should report such harassment to his or her
Supervisor, and appropriate action will be taken. We cannot help resolve
a harassment problem unless we know about it. Therefore, it is your
responsibility to bring such problems to our attention so that we can take
whatever steps are necessary to correct the problem.

Reasonable Accommodations/Modified Job Duties
To assist our employees who are or become disabled and those
employees who suffer on-the-job injuries, we will make reasonable
accommodations to enable such employees to continue performing the
essential functions of their jobs. Consistent with this policy, we may
modify job duties to comply with medical requirements or restrictions.
Other accommodations, such as transfer to a vacant position for which
the employee is qualified, may be appropriate, depending upon specific
facts and circumstances of individual situations.
In addition, we are committed to complying with the laws related to
providing reasonable accommodation for employees’ religious beliefs
and observances. We will provide such accommodations to the extent
required by the law provided the requested accommodation does not
create an undue hardship for the Company and/or does not pose a
direct threat to the health and safety of others and/or the individual.
If you need to request a reasonable accommodation because of a
disability or on-the-job injury, please contact Risk Management. We will
45
discuss the matter with you, investigate your request, and to the extent
possible, attempt to reasonably accommodate you.
Employees who need accommodations for religious beliefs should
discuss the need for accommodation with their supervisor.
Open Door Communication Policy
The Broadmoor considers you, our employee, to be one of our most
important assets. We want the opportunity to communicate with you
directly. We are committed to providing you with the best possible
working environment so that you can serve our guests with Five-Star,
Five-Diamond service.
We cannot take steps to correct a problem, complaint or
misunderstanding unless we know about it. The following are steps you
should take to communicate more effectively if there is a problem

Dispute Resolution
We recognize that there may be a circumstance where an employee is
simply not satisfied with the Hotel’s final resolution of his or her problem.
To promote the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of any
unresolved legal disputes between The Broadmoor and an employee or
any dispute of a legal nature (i.e. a dispute arising under federal, state, or
local law) will be submitted to final and binding arbitration. The same
substantive law that a state or federal court sitting the State of Colorado
would apply will be used to resolve the dispute. This means the arbitrator
will have the same authority as a court to award the employee or the
Hotel money damages or other relief, and the parties will have the same
legal rights that they would have had in court.
The main difference between arbitration and a lawsuit is that the
arbitrator, instead of a court jury, will decide the issue and it will be the
arbitrator’s responsibility to ensure that after a party demands arbitration
the dispute will be resolved as quickly as possible. By contrast, court
47
actions can take years. A party in arbitration is not required to have a
lawyer, but can if the party wants one.
The purpose of this policy is to resolve as many disputes as possible
outside of the overburdened and expensive court system. This arbitration
procedure therefore applies to any legal dispute between the Hotel and
an employee which would be brought in court (including claims
regarding Hotel property, wrongful discharge, employment
discrimination, harassment, or any other dispute relating to the
employee’s employment or arising under any labor, employment or civil
rights law). Only claims for worker’s compensation, unemployment
compensation or those involving the National Labor Relations Board are
excluded from this procedure. While this policy does not preclude the
filing of a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
or other state or federal agencies, the dispute underlying such charges
will be arbitrated; a party need not file a charge or complaint with any
agency as a prerequisite to initiating arbitration. Disputes involving any
party whose liability or right of recovery derives from a claim which is
covered by these procedures (e.g. agents, subsidiary, or parent
corporation) are included.
To ensure that the arbitration is fair, the employee will participate in the
selection of the arbitrator. The Arbitration Administrator will ask the
Judicial Arbiter Group (or if unavailable another neutral dispute
resolution organization) to randomly choose and submit a panel of three
arbitrator candidates who have served as federal, state, or magistrate
court judges who are qualified, trained arbitrators after determining that
they have no relationships with the parties. From this list, the employee
and Hotel will select and arbitrator by alternately striking names until one
name remains. The arbitration will be conducted in conformity with the
arbitration rules and procedures which have been adopted by the Hotel.
A copy of the rules can be obtained from the Director of Human
Resources.
All disputes must be brought under this Agreement within the applicable
limitations period for filing a lawsuit or agency claim beginning with the
event or occurrence giving rise to the dispute. If a claim is not brought in
a timely manner, that dispute is waived and barred forever, and no
action or suit may be brought in any court or other forum. Arbitration
will be enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act as appropriate which
48
is the federal law which favors the enforcement of Arbitration
Agreements.
To initiate arbitration of a legal dispute which the employee and Hotel
have been unable to resolve, a written complaint demanding arbitration
of the claim must be delivered to the other party within the applicable
time limit by personal delivery or by depositing in the U.S. mail. A
complaint against the Hotel must be addressed to the Director of Human
Resources.
Eating and Drinking Policy
All Hotel employees are expected to bring their own meals or use the
Broadmoor Café for their meals while they are working at the Hotel. The
Broadmoor Café is open from 6:00am to 8:00pm daily (exceptions during
slow occupancy periods) for employees to access the café for their meals.
The Broadmoor Ca is a designated employee break area for meal
breaks. There is no eating or drinking except in designated break areas.
Employees bringing their own meals must have the containers marked
and will be directed where to store the items by their managers.
No employees are permitted to eat or drink any product that is
purchased or prepared by the Hotel outside the Broadmoor Cafe. This
includes items left after functions for our guests, such as items leftover in
a restaurant, kitchen or banquet functions. Violations of this policy may
be considered theft and will result in disciplinary action up to and
including termination.
Exceptions to this policy are as follows:
1. Food and beverage provided by management for
designated staff or training sessions
2. Food or Beverage items presented as educational training
for menu and beverage items at the direction of
management.
49
3. Quality control tasting by culinary and management staff
under proper circumstances (ticket written) and as directed
by management of the Hotel.
4. The third shift employees will be provided a meal by the
Hotel during their meal break.
It is the manager’s responsibility to ensure employees are given
appropriate breaks for meals and all meal breaks should be taken in the
Broadmoor Café or in another designated break area.
Any food and beverage items defined above are to be accurately
recorded on a check and posted to the proper account so the items can
be properly accounted for. An explanation must be written on the check
why the items were ordered and who the items were ordered for. Only
a manager or area chef with the approval of a department head is
authorized to approve such an order. Failure to comply with the policy
will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
The procedure for conducting a tasting are as follows: All Food and
Beverage Tastings (sampling of any food and/or beverage for learning
purposes) must be approved by the outlet manager and the Food and
Beverage office. Tastings are to be planned and announced to those
invited in advance of the event. Tastings are to be planned prior to
opening or after the closure of an outlet. Tastings may never occur
during service to guests or during outlet hours of operation. Tastings are
to be set with the appropriate tasting items; small tasting cups/glasses,
water glasses and pitchers of water, spill buckets, note pads and pens.
Employees who bring their own food to work for their meal break should
only use designated break areas.
Designated break areas are as follows:

Smoke/Tobacco-Free Policy
The Broadmoor is a smoke/tobacco-free workplace. All Hotel employees
and on-site contractors are expected to comply in order to provide a
clean, healthy, productive and safe environment. Existing smoking areas

Without exception, all areas at The Broadmoor are smoke, tobacco and
vapor (electronic) cigarette free, including, but not limited to: grounds,
parking lots, indoor facilities, company vehicles and break areas. There
are no designated smoking areas on property for employees.
Additionally, this policy will be in effect at all Broadmoor- sponsored
events – both, on property and at external locations.
Employees who wish to smoke or use tobacco must do so during their
regular 30 minutes unpaid meal breaks and must leave Broadmoor
property to smoke or use tobacco. Employees may not leave property
during their paid breaks and therefore cannot smoke or use tobacco
during those times.
Employees who wish to smoke or use tobacco may use their 30 minute
non-paid break to leave property in their vehicle. Employees may not
smoke or use tobacco in their vehicles on property. Smoking or using
tobacco while on the clock, on property or leaving property will be
considered a policy violation and will be treated in accordance with the
progressive discipline policy.
51
The Broadmoor is committed to support employees and will periodically
offer smoking cessation educational opportunities.
Dating Policy
In order to prevent sexual harassment, discrimination, favoritism,
accusations thereof, and numerous other problems, The Broadmoor
believes that romantic or sexual liaisons that develop in the workplace
may be potentially disruptive to the conduct of our business. Those
employees who become involved in romantic or sexual liaisons with a co-
worker should be aware that the Hotel may intervene by discussing the
issue with the employees involved and/or taking remedial measures
when, in the Hotel’s opinion, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of
working relationships.
It is expressly prohibited for managers or supervisors to date or become
similarly involved with any non-management employees or subordinate
management/supervisor within his or her sphere of responsibility. This
includes managers or supervisors living with or having employees in their
sphere of influence as roommates. In the event the Hotel becomes aware
of such a relationship, the Supervisor or Manager will be subject to
discharge. If a manager or supervisor becomes involved in a relationship
which is prohibited under this policy, he/she should immediately notify
the department head so that appropriate arrangements can be made to
be in compliance with this policy.
Reference Check Policy
In order to provide consistent employment reference responses for The
Broadmoor, all reference check and employment verification inquiries
must be directed to the Human Resources office. Therefore, as an
employee of the Hotel, you are expressly prohibited from providing or
responding to (professional or personal) reference checks or employment
verifications for current or former employees.
52
Conflict of Interest Policy
Employees shall not engage or perform work for enterprise, service, or
activity which is in competition with any business activities or operations
owned, operated, leased, managed, or contracted by The Broadmoor.
Any inquiries concerning this policy should be directed to the Assistant
Director or the Director of Human Resources. Employees may not accept
gifts or services from any Broadmoor vendors without prior approval
from the Department Head.
Confidentiality Policy
Employees must not divulge confidential Hotel, employee or guest
information to outsiders of the Hotel, including media or government
representatives without the prior approval of the Director of Human
Resources or the President and CEO. No employee should speak with the
media on behalf of The Broadmoor without this permission.
Package Pass
When you remove a parcel, a package, or any articles from the Hotel, an
authorized package pass is required. To request a package pass, ask
your Executive Committee Member. In the case of a purchase made at
our retail outlets, the sales receipt serves as your package pass. Likewise,
with flowers or other such gifts received at work, the card serves as your
package pass. Package passes authorizing the removal of Hotel property
must be signed by an Executive Committee Member. It is very important
for you to obtain a package pass. Without a package pass, removal of
any package from the Hotel could be interpreted as unauthorized
removal or theft. No food or beverage items are allowed to be removed
under any circumstances. Give your package pass to Loss Prevention
when you leave the Hotel with your package.
53
Inspection Policy
We believe an inspection policy is necessary for the protection of Hotel,
Broadmoor guests, and employee property. Employees may be asked to
allow inspection of vehicles, lockers, desks, offices, Hotel leased housing,
house banks, and personal belongings on Hotel property. All employees
are expected to cooperate fully with such inspections. Under most
circumstances, we seek the employee’s agreement before searching
his/her personal property or vehicle. However, refusal to agree
constitutes a violation of this policy and may subject the employee
to discipline, up to and including termination
terminationtermination
termination. If an employee is not
present or refuses to remove a lock from a Hotel locker, the Hotel may
remove the lock.
Solicitation/Distribution Policy
Solicitation by an employee of another employee during the working
time of either employee for any reason is strictly prohibited. Distribution
of advertising materials, handbills or other literature is prohibited in all
guest/public access and working areas at all times. If you have any
question about which areas are guest/public access, please ask your
Supervisor or the Director of Human Resources. Solicitation and
distribution by non-employees is prohibited on Hotel premises at all
times.
Disciplinary Policy
The Broadmoor supports a progressive disciplinary policy to correct
problems of employee misconduct and poor performance. It is our
intention to provide an environment in which you know what is
expected of you. Progressive discipline means that depending upon the
severity of the offense, the types of actions you can expect may be one or
a combination of the following:
A
Consultation

suspended without pay.
Termination
Termination Termination
Termination
may occur after a Consultation, Warning, Suspension,
and/or Suspension Pending, depending on the severity of the offense.
Violation of certain rules may lead to termination without prior reminder
or counseling pending the outcome of an investigation. If an employee is
involuntarily terminated, that employee is generally considered ineligible
for rehire. Eligibility for rehire is at the sole discretion of Human
Resources.
You should be advised that The Broadmoor reserves the right to proceed
immediately to termination in appropriate circumstances as determined
in the sole discretion of the Hotel.
We want our employees to be the best they can be and this disciplinary
policy allows management to help you recognize your deficiencies and
assist you to improve your performance. Remember, you are responsible
55
for your conduct at all times while you are on property and the
consequences of violating any Hotel policies.
Standards of Conduct
It is essential to the success of this Hotel that all our employees
demonstrate a commitment and loyalty to The Broadmoor. You are
expected to support and promote the philosophy this Hotel has worked
to achieve. Anything less than total dedication to this philosophy cannot
be accepted. Your loyalty and support of, and adherence to, Hotel
policies and procedures will be evaluated in your job performance
evaluations as seriously as your technical skills and expertise. It is the
Hotel’s sincerest hope that you will become a successful member of The
Broadmoor team.

understand and accept as your own the standards of conduct

required to clock out for the daily 30 minute meal period, and no work
should be performed during this period. It is your responsibility to take a
meal break and clock in and out. It is against Hotel policy to continue
your break after you have clocked back in to work. Employees who do
this will be subject to disciplinary action up to, and including,
termination. Note:

B.B.C. (Broadmoor Beautification Committee)
Everyone at the Hotel assists in, and is responsible for, keeping the Hotel
clean and attractive. You are expected to join us in our collective effort to
maintain the beautiful property we now have. Take the time to pick up
bits of paper and debris from the floor and grounds. This makes all of our
jobs easier and the Hotel a better place to work and visit.
Maintenance FIXX Line
We also rely upon you to report areas in need of repair, painting,
maintenance, etc. when you see areas or items requiring attention,
please call the Maintenance FIXX Line at EXT. 3499 (FIXX). Be specific
about the location or type of work that needs to be done when you call.
If a guest reports some maintenance problems or difficulty, you should
assist him/her by calling the Maintenance FIXX Line. Use this extension
rather than calling the Front Desk or Housekeeping Department.
Job Postings, Promotions, and Transfers
The Broadmoor strives to promote qualified employees from within the
Hotel for available positions. To ensure that all eligible employees are
aware of job openings, positions may be posted on the job openings
board located in the Human Resources Department, on the bulletin
board near the Main employee entrance, and next to the West Building
time clock. Job posting applications from qualified current Broadmoor
staff are accepted online only at tinyurl.com/BroadmoorStaffPosting.
Prior to posting, employees must notify and receive verbal approval from
their Department Head. Contact the Human Resources office at Ext.
6145 for more information. The Broadmoor reserves the right to not
post job openings for positions which the Company believes, in its sole
discretion, should be filled from outside the organization.
The Employment Office will ensure your eligibility and arrange
appropriate interviews. You may apply for open positions after
completing 90 days of employment in your current department. Those
employees here on a temporary training visa may not be eligible to
66
transfer. If you are here on a visa or internship, please contact the
Employment Office to determine posting eligibility. Any exception must
be approved by the Director or Assistant Director of Human Resources.
You may apply only for one position at a time. Selection will be based
upon job-related qualifications, performance, cooperation, and attitude.
Any posting for a Supervisor or Manager position must include a resume.
A resume is recommended for all other postings.
The applicant’s personnel file will be reviewed to determine eligibility for
the position. Disciplinary action within three months prior to posting, a
rating of “unsuccessful” on your most recent performance review, or
failing to show for an interview may disqualify you. If you have requested
and been approved for a transfer, your conduct and performance must
remain satisfactory pending completion of the transfer.
Upon transfer, your rate of pay will be commensurate with the position
to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a full- time position to a
part-time position, you will forfeit any full-time benefits (i.e. accrued
vacation, sick or holiday time). If you transfer from a part-time position to
a full-time position, you will be given credit for any benefits due under
full-time status, after meeting the eligibility criteria. Your next review date
will be one year from your date of transfer.
Employee Self Service
Employee Self Service is accessible from computers both at the
Broadmoor as well as off site. Employees can log in, view their
information, change their address, emergency contact, and direct deposit
information, pay stubs, pay history, and past W- 2’s. Employees can also
view their current training requests.. You are encouraged to use self-
service to keep your information current as well as accomplish the tasks
mentioned.
When you become eligible for benefits and/or during Open Enrollment
periods each year, you will use this system to enroll in benefits and/or
make changes to existing benefits.
Managers can log into self-service to accomplish all of the tasks listed
above. In addition, managers use this system to electronically submit
67
performance reviews, salary changes, disciplinary notices, and
terminations.
From a Broadmoor Computer, the website for Self Service is:
http://ess/SHCM/

you log in for the first time.
Personnel Files

in marital status, name, address, telephone number or emergency
notification information to your Supervisor and Human Resources by
making appropriate changes online in Employee Self Service. To change
your beneficiary, or to add or remove dependents on your insurance
coverage, contact the Benefits Office directly.
Current employees may review their personnel file in the Human
Resources Department by appointment only with the Assistant Director
of Human Resources or the Director of Human Resources. Files or
documents may not be copied or removed. If you have any questions,
Human Resources will assist you.
Employees who are in driving positions must report changes in their
driving records to Human Resources to be noted in the personnel file (i.e.
tickets, DUI, DWAI, etc.)
68
Work Schedules
Schedules are made by the individual Department Managers. All
schedules and any changes are normally posted two days in advance of
the work week if possible. It is your responsibility to check your schedule
frequently and to check with your Supervisor to be aware of any changes
that may have been made.
Hours of Work
Hours and schedules will vary by department and business needs. The
standard work week should not be considered as either a guarantee of
any maximum or minimum number of hours of work regardless of your
employment classification. Hotel management schedules employees for
work as business levels dictate. You may be asked to work overtime or
leave early depending on business demands.
You are not permitted on the premises more than 30 minutes prior to or
after completion of your shift unless permission has been granted by
your Department Head. Employees are not permitted to clock in more
than five minutes prior to the start of the scheduled shift, unless given
permission by their manager.
Attendance Guidelines
Good attendance by each and every employee is essential to the success
of our operation here at The Broadmoor. You are expected to be in
attendance when scheduled by your Supervisor. Each employee is
expected to report to work as scheduled, on time and work the hours
scheduled. While certain allowances will be made for occurrences
beyond the control of the employee (e.g. accidents, emergencies),
chronic or excessive violations will result in disciplinary action up to and
including terminatio

contact your immediate Supervisor a minimum of one hour before the
start of the scheduled shift if you are unable to report to work. Failure to
69
contact your immediate Supervisor at least one hour in advance for your
shift may be considered an improper call off or a no call/no show. The
Hotel reserves the right to require a physician’s written verification of
illness. (Refer to the “Non-Work Related Injury/Illness” section.)

Guest Room Master Keys (Card Key)
Many employees are issued keys that open guest rooms. Due to a high
security risk, the employee assigned the keys is responsible for the safe
keeping of the keys at all times. If the floor master or master keys are lost,
you must report the loss immediately to your Manager and Loss
Prevention. All rooms accessible by the key must be cancelled out, which
is very time consuming and requires a locksmith to issue a cancel key.
Loss Prevention must go to every guest room affected to cancel the lost
card. The employee assigned the key will be charged one hundred
dollars ($100.00) for the cancellation process if it is a master key and forty
dollars ($40.00) if it is a floor master. It is very important to protect guest
room master keys.
House Bank/Cashier Procedures
Policies related to Cashier remittance procedures have been developed
to ensure the security of house funds and to protect the individual
Cashier remitting funds. A House Bank Agreement will be filled out by
each employee being given a bank. By accepting the bank, the employee
agrees to the following:
1.
To be responsible for the safekeeping of the bank
2.
To keep the bank at all times (when not in use) in a safe
deposit box
3.
The funds of the bank remain the property of the Hotel at
all times. They are not to be used as your own
4.
To permit auditing of the bank at any time
5.
Not to transfer or deliver the bank to anyone else without
written authorization of the Hotel Controller

Company Device and System Usage Standards Overview
With the deployment and availability of new technologies and devices, it
is important that both The Broadmoor and its employees are aware of
the potential dangers involved in using these technologies and the
responsibilities they hold for their safe and appropriate use. Misuse of any
such technologies could cause irreparable damage to The Broadmoor
either financially, and/or to its reputation, through network intrusion and
78
data compromise, infringements of intellectual copyright, libel, other
legal or morally questionable activities, etc.
These standards apply to all employees of The Broadmoor and its related
entities, as well as their contractors, consultants, temporary staff, and
other third parties that have access to The Broadmoor’s networks,
systems, and communications (collectively “Employees”).
Standards for Electronic Devices Used for Company Business
All Company-issued cellular telephones, tablets, laptops, desktop
computers, portable media, or other electronic equipment issued by the
Company are referred to as Company Devices” and all of the foregoing
provided by an employee are referred to as “Employee Devices.” Both
Company Devices and Employee Devices may be referred to simply as
“Devices.”
All cellular telephones and digital tablets or similar electronic equipment
used for Company purposes must be approved and issued by the
Telecommunications Department, and all computers or similar
equipment must be approved and issued by the IT Department.
Employees are expected to demonstrate proper care of their Company
devices. If you lose, break or damage your Company Device, report it to
your Supervisor immediately. All Devices issued by the Company must be
returned upon leaving the Company or upon transferring to a position
that does not require that Device.
Employees are encouraged to take appropriate safety precautions when
using their Company Devices. The use of handheld cellular telephones or
tablet devices while driving is prohibited. Employees are expected to
comply with applicable state laws regarding the use of cellular
telephones or tablet devices.

Backups and Data Storage
You may not use any cloud storage services to backup any Company
Devices or store any Company any files or data unless you use a
Company-provided service and account, following procedures as
instructed by the IT Department.
You may not use any portable or external storage devices, such as thumb
drives/USB drives/memory sticks, CD/DVD Drives, external hard-drives, or
memory cards (“External Storage Devices
External Storage DevicesExternal Storage Devices
External Storage Devices”) to backup any Company
Device, or to store any Company information, unless the External Storage
Device was provided by the IT Department, and your manager has
approved your use of the External Storage Device. Confidential and
sensitive data written to any form of External Storage Device should
always be encrypted as described in Data Security below.
If you are issued an External Storage Device by the Company, External
Storage Devices may only be removed from the Company’s
premises with the express permission of your supervisor.
The Company reserves the right to inspect and retain the content of any
External Storage Devices leaving its premises.
Use of Company Systems (Including E-Mail, Voicemail,
Internet and Networks)
The following are The Broadmoor’s standards regarding use of all
Company e-mail, voicemail, Internet access, data lines, messaging
services, networks, servers or other backup services, and similar systems
and accounts (Company Systems
Company SystemsCompany Systems
Company Systems”), regardless of whether Company
Devices or Personal Devices are used.
80
Company Systems are intended for Company business only. All
information transmitted through Company Systems or on Company
Devices is the sole and exclusive property of the Company and should be
treated as confidential. Such information may not be disclosed to any
person outside the Company or removed from Company premises
without the express permission of your Department Manager.
The purpose of the Company’s Systems and access accounts are to
promote the effective performance of Company business. While it is
acceptable to send or receive personal messages of a limited number and
frequency, personal use of the voicemail and e-mail system must be kept
within the bounds of efficiency and good judgment. Personal use of the
Company’s Internet access account is not permitted.
Employees are strictly prohibited from using Company Systems, Company
Devices, or Personal Devices used for Company business, for any
improper purpose. The Company’s Anti- Discrimination Policy and No
Harassment Policy extend to the use of the Company’s Systems and
Personal Devices used for Company business. Any employee who uses
the Company’s Systems in violation of these policies will be subject to
discipline, up to and including immediate termination.
Employees have the right to use Company Systems and Company
Devices for the full spectrum of concerted activities for mutual aid or
protection protected by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act on
nonworking time, and nothing in this policy should be interpreted as
limiting any such rights.
It is not possible to identify every type of inappropriate or impermissible
use of the Company’s Systems. Employees are expected to use their best
judgment and common sense at all times when accessing or using the
Company’s Systems. The following conduct, however, is strictly
prohibited:
Employees may not transmit, retrieve, download, or store
inappropriate messages or images relating to race, religion, color,
sex, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, or any other
status protected under federal, state and local laws.
Employees may not use the Company’s Systems in any way that
violates the Company’s policy against unlawful harassment,
81
including sexual harassment. By way of example, employees may
not transmit messages that would constitute sexual harassment;
may not use sexually suggestive or explicit screen savers or
backgrounds; may not access, receive, transmit or print
pornographic, obscene or sexually offensive material or
information; and may not transmit, retrieve, download, store or
print messages or images that are offensive, derogatory,
defamatory, off- color, sexual in content, or otherwise
inappropriate in a business environment. Employees are also
prohibited from making threatening or harassing statements to
another employee, or to a vendor, customer, or other outside
party.
Employees are strictly prohibited from altering, transmitting,
copying, downloading or removing any propriety, confidential,
trade secret or other information of the Company, or of the
Company’s customers. In addition, employees may not alter,
transmit, copy or download propriety software, databases and
other electronic files without proper and legally binding
authorization.
Employees should not download, transmit, or retrieve
messages from multi-network gateways, real-time data and
conversation programs including, but not limited to, instant
messaging service (e.g. AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo
Messenger), Internet chat rooms and bulletin boards during their
work shift, unless such activity is necessary for business purposes.
Employees may not use or allow another individual to use the
Company’s Systems for any purpose that is either damaging
or competitive with the Company or detrimental to its interests.
Employees are strictly prohibited from using the Company’s
Systems in any manner that violates the U.S. federal CAN-SPAM
law or similar spam laws of Canada or other countries, and may
not send mass mailings unless approved by a department head,
or send, forward, redistribute or reply to “chain letters” or similar
schemes.
Employees must honor and comply with all laws applicable to
trademarks, copyrights, patents and licenses to software and
82
other electronically available information. Employees may not
send, receive, download, upload or copy software or other
copyrighted or otherwise legally protected information through
the Company’s Systems without prior authorization (including
authorization of the IT Department with regard to any software
downloads).
Employees may not solicit personal business opportunities or
conduct personal advertising, personal money-making
activities, or unauthorized fundraising through the Company’s
Systems.
Employees may not engage in gambling of any kind, monitor
sports scores, or play electronic games through the Company’s
Systems.
Employees may not engage in day trading or otherwise
purchase or sell stocks, bonds or other securities or transmit,
retrieve, download or store messages or images related to the
purchase or sale of stocks, bonds or other securities through the
Company’s Systems.
Device and System Security Requirements
Employees must comply with the Company’s security requirements
applicable to Company Devices, or Personal Devices used for Company
business, at all times, including without limitation the following and any
policies and procedures issued by the IT Department or the Employee’s
department head.
Devices must be protected by passwords in accordance with the
Company’s Password Policy, and should be set to automatically require
the password after the period of inactivity designated by the IT
Department. Employees must not attempt to change any settings on
Company Devices including without limitation security settings, antivirus
programs, Device locator programs, remote wipe programs, or other
settings. Do not remove any Company labels on a Device. Each
Employee is responsible for protecting any Device in the user’s
83
possession. Always take reasonable precautions to ensure the Device is in
a safe and secure location.
Employees must comply at all times with the Company’s security
requirements for accessing the Company’s Systems or using Devices
on other networks. This is crucial in order to prevent Devices which
have not been screened by the IT Department from potentially impacting
the Company networks, or from allowing intruders to gain
unauthorized access into Company Devices if used on unsecured
networks, for example. If Employees are granted permission to use
remote access to the Company’s network, VPN or other services,
Employees will comply with all of the Company’s requirements regarding
such access.
Employees will comply with all of the Company’s designated procedures
regarding maintaining the confidentiality and security of Company and
guest information when using Company Systems or Devices. Sensitive
data, including without limitation any guest credit card information, will
be transmitted and stored only in accordance with the Company’s
encryption standards and other requirements (please see your supervisor
or the IT department for details if you are unsure about this).
Access and Disclosure
While we hope that the occasion for any such action would be
infrequent, in the interest of prudence, management reserves the right to
access any messages, files, or other communication or data committed
any of the Company’s Systems, Company Devices, or Company use of
Personal Devices, and to review any person’s use of the Company’s
Systems, including reviewing a list of sites accessed, files or data
transmitted, and other usage details. These Systems are the property of
The Broadmoor and its subsidiaries or affiliates, as is the information and
data committed to, transmitted through, or stored therein, and
Employees should understand that they have no expectation of privacy
with respect to the use of any Company Systems or Company Devices, or
to the extent permitted by applicable laws, in Personal Devices to the
extent used for Company Business.
84
Waiver and Severability
If any portion of these standards are deemed unenforceable by a court of
law, the remainder will remain in force and the unenforceable provision
will be revised as needed to as closely as possible reflect the intent of the
unenforceable provision.
Recording Devices in the Workplace
Employees are prohibited from having any form of recording or
photography device in the workplace and from recording or
photographing guests, and confidential Broadmoor information.
Violations of this policy may result in immediate discipline (including the
possibility of termination), immediate removal of the recording device
and/or the employee from the workplace, and retention of the recording
device for inspection by the Hotel and/or legal authorities. Limited
exceptions will apply when the employee in possession of the recording
device has been provided advance authorization to use the recording
device by an authorized member of Hotel management and the
recording device is being used in an authorized manner to further Hotel
business.
Prohibited “recording devices” under this policy include, but are not
limited to cameras, camcorders, video devices, picture or video capable
cellular telephones, cassette recorders, and digital voice or image
recorders. Cellular telephones, PDAs, MP3 and DVD devices, portable
computers, and other devices are covered if they are equipped with any
device or technology that has the capability to record images or sounds.
This prohibition applies irrespective of whether the recording capability is
activated or not.
Information/Computer Security and Proprietary Information
Employees must keep passwords secure and may not share
accounts. Authorized users are responsible for the security of
their passwords and accounts. System and user level passwords
should be changed every 90 days.
85
All PCs, laptops and workstations connected to The
Broadmoor network should be secured with a password-
protected screensaver with the automatic feature set at 15
minutes or less.
Employees should secure their workstations by logging off or
locking (Control-Alt-Delete for Windows users) when the host is
unattended.
Information contained on portable computers is especially
vulnerable. Special care should be exercised by protecting
laptops in accordance with the corporate security standards,
including personal firewalls.
Employees must use extreme caution when opening e-mail
attachments received from unknown senders, which may
contain viruses, e-mail bombs or Trojan horse code.
Social Security numbers and credit card numbers are
considered highly confidential and should be protected at all
times and in all places not only as they relate to computer
systems, but to paper and e-mail documents. They should NEVER
be stored on local computers or workstations.
Social Media Policy
The Broadmoor’s policy respects that many of our employees utilize
social media in their private and work lives. The following Policy governs
employee use of social media, including online tools used to share
content, profiles, opinions, insights with others such as personal web
pages, message boards, networks, communities and social networking
websites, including, but not limited to, Facebook, Myspace, Digg, Flickr,
Twitter, LinkedIn and weblogs (“blogs”) among others, as it relates to
your work at The Broadmoor. This Policy will evolve as new technologies
and tools become available and if regulatory requirements change.
The Broadmoor respects the rights of all employees to make use of social
media, provided that such use does not adversely affect the Company’s
legitimate rights and interests. For this reason, The Broadmoor expects
86
employees to exercise good judgment and discretion when using social
media, keeping in mind that what they say and do over the internet may
be a reflection of The Broadmoor.
Specifically, employees are strictly prohibited from:
Engaging in activity that violates any of The Broadmoor’s
policies or procedures.
Listing your own or any other employee’s Broadmoor e-mail
address or Broadmoor telephone number, unless the social
media is being used solely for company business.
Using The Broadmoor’s proprietary identifying image(s), logo(s),
trademarks, service marks, slogans and/or copyrighted
material in non-business related messaging without the prior
consent of The Broadmoor President and CEO or Director of
Human Resources.
Engaging in activity which violates state or federal laws related
to patent, copyright or trademark infringement, libel,
breach of contract, etc.
Using any social media during work time, unless it is being used

proprietary or confidential business information.
Posting or using a photograph or likeness of a supervisor,
manager, vendor, customer or guest without their prior

Posting or otherwise commenting on any potential or actual
legal matter or litigation in which The Broadmoor is involved and
which may be binding upon The Broadmoor or deemed to be an
admission of The Broadmoor.
Providing references or employment verification for current or
former employees.
Employees engaging in use of social media are subject to all of the
Company’s policies and procedures, including but not limited to The
Broadmoor’s policies: (i) safeguarding Company property; (ii) prohibiting
unlawful practices such as discrimination and harassment; and (iii)
87
governing the use of The Broadmoor’s computer, telephone and other
electronic and communication equipment and systems.
Employees must make it clear in any online activity that the views and
opinions they express about work or Broadmoor-related matters are their
own and are not those of The Broadmoor or its management. If you
comment on The Broadmoor or any competitor, use your real name,
identify your position with The Broadmoor and, if you have a vested
interest in the topic, please make that interest clear. Never represent
yourself as speaking for The Broadmoor unless you are specifically
authorized to do so. Further, never hold yourself out as an expert on an
issue by virtue of your employment at The Broadmoor without prior
permission. If and when you are authorized to speak on behalf of The
Broadmoor, never represent the Company in a false or misleading way. If
you disagree with another’s opinion, please remain respectful and polite.
The Broadmoor reserves the right to monitor the use of its computer,
telephone and other communications equipment/systems.
Employees should have no expectation of privacy while using said
Broadmoor property.
Nothing in this Policy or in any of the Company’s other policies and
procedures prohibits or otherwise restricts employees from engaging in
concerted activity for the purposes of mutual aid or protection, including
the right to voluntarily discuss their wages, hours, working conditions
and other terms and conditions of employment with one another and/or
others. Nothing in this Policy or in any of the Company’s other policies
and procedures prohibit or otherwise restrict an employee from
participating in a government investigation.
By participating in social media activities, employees accept responsibility
for complying with the policy. Violations of this Policy may result in
disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. If you
have any questions about this policy, please contact Human Resources.
At The Broadmoor, we understand that social media can be a fun and
rewarding way to share your life and opinions with family, friends and
co-workers around the world. However, use of social media also presents
certain risks and carries with it certain responsibilities. To assist you in
making responsible decisions about your use of social media, we have
established these guidelines for appropriate use of social media.

can mean many things.

communicating or posting information or content of any sort on the

affiliated with The Broadmoor, as well as any other form of electronic
communication.
The same principles and guidelines found in The Broadmoor’s policies
and three basic beliefs apply to your activities online. Ultimately, you are
solely responsible for what you post online. Before creating online
content, consider some of the risks and rewards that are involved. Keep
in mind that any of your conduct that adversely affects your job
performance, the performance of fellow employees or otherwise
adversely affects customers, supplies, people who work on behalf of The
Broadmoor or The Broadmoor’s legitimate business interests may result
in disciplinary action up to including termination.

Open Door Policy than by posting complaints to a social media outlet.
Nevertheless, if you decide to post complaints or criticism, avoid using
statements, photographs, video or audio that reasonably could be
viewed as malicious, obscene, threatening or intimidating, that disparage
customers, employees or suppliers, or that might constitute harassment
or bullying. Examples of such conduct might include offensive posts
meant to intentionally harm someone’s reputation or posts that could

may also violate the Insider Trading Policy.
Do not create a link from your blog, website or other social
networking site to The Broadmoor’s website without identifying
yourself as a Broadmoor employee.
Express your personal opinions. Never represent yourself as a
spokesperson for The Broadmoor. If The Broadmoor is

any Hotel facilities.

WORK AREA: You will be assigned to a work area. You are not to
visit other areas except when on business. You should always
notify a Supervisor or Manager when leaving your work area.
Restaurant Use Pass
Whenever you visit our restaurants or lounges, you will need a
Restaurant Use Pass. You can obtain this pass from your Department
Head in advance of your planned visit. You are responsible for making
91
reservations in advance with the Manager of the outlet you wish to
utilize. A Restaurant Use Pass will be issued based on availability.
However, if we are anticipating a large volume of guests in our
restaurants and lounges, you may be denied a Restaurant Use Pass. In
most instances, weekends and holidays are reserved for Hotel guests and
local patrons. When using a Restaurant Use Pass, you must be off duty
and not in uniform. Appropriate attire and conduct is expected.
Employee/Guest Fraternization
While all employees are expected to be friendly and courteous with Hotel
guests, non-employment related socializing, dating, or fraternization with

contact the Assistant Manager on duty at ext. 5419 so follow up action
can be taken.
Lactation Accommodation Policy
The Broadmoor provides convenient, private areas for nursing mothers
who need to express breast milk periodically during the work day.
Employees who would like to utilize these areas should contact their
manager or Human Resources to make arrangements.
92
Your Performance
The Broadmoor knows how important it is for you to know what is
expected of you and how your performance is being viewed. We believe
that performance feedback or coaching starts with your first day and is a
continuous process. We have outlined below specific times for formal
reviews. These times are designed for a formal evaluation of your
performance.
Post Evaluation Period
After the completion of your evaluation period, you will receive a review
by your Supervisor. The review is based on your performance during the
90-day evaluation period.
Annual Evaluation
You will receive an evaluation to determine your work progress and a
pay review on or around your anniversary date each year. If you should
transfer to another department or position at the Hotel, your next review
will be one year from your transfer date. How well you perform your job
is the most important factor on which recommendations regarding your
pay increase are made. Your Supervisor considers, among other things,
the quality of work, overall knowledge, your work performance, your
attitude, initiative, cooperation with others, and your adaptability and
versatility in your job. Regular attendance and punctuality, grooming,
safety record and care of Hotel property are also factors that will be
considered in your overall performance evaluation. The pay review is
based on performance and does not guarantee an increase in pay. If a
pay increase is determined, the increase will begin on the first day of the
pay period following your anniversary date. During your performance
evaluation, you are encouraged to discuss your progress with your
Supervisor. Should you have questions about your progress between
these reviews, please feel free to ask your Supervisor to talk with you in
private.
93
Salary Administration
All hourly positions at the Hotel are assigned a minimum and maximum
rate. Once you reach the maximum hourly rate for your position, you are
ineligible for additional merit percentage increases as long as you remain
in that position. Salary surveys may be conducted periodically to
determine if The Broadmoor wages are generally competitive in our
industry and geographic area. No employee may give himself/herself a
pay increase by means of a wage increase, salary increase, or any
additional compensation (i.e. to include tips, gratuities, etc.)
without approval.

these hours, paychecks will be kept in Loss Prevention on Saturday,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday following the payday. After that, checks
may be picked up in the Payroll Office in Accounting. If there is a
discrepancy with your paycheck, see your Supervisor. For your
protection, we do not allow relatives, your spouse, or any other person to
pick up you paycheck. You must pick up your paycheck in person and
you will be required to show your Broadmoor I.D. card.
94
Clocking In/Out
Remember that it is your responsibility to clock in and out properly for
each shift that you work and for all meal periods. If you forget to clock in
or out any time during the pay period and it causes your paycheck to be
incorrect, the correction will be reflected on your next scheduled
paycheck. Excessive failure to clock in/out or clocking in or out for
anyone other than yourself may result in disciplinary action up to and
including termination.
Direct Deposit
The Broadmoor has established an automatic payroll deposit system with
the bank of your choice. If you would like more information or to enroll
in the plan, please utilize Employee Self Service to enroll.
Tip Reporting
Some Broadmoor employees receive tips for their work in addition to
their pay from The Broadmoor. Under U.S. Government rules, each
employee who receives more than $20.00 in cash tips during a month
must turn in a tip report to the Payroll Office on a bi-monthly basis.
Furthermore, the rules require that income tax and Social Security taxes
on reported tips be deducted from the regular paychecks. If you receive
tips, you should know that the Government levies a penalty on any
employee who fails to report or who reports tips incorrectly.
Overtime
Work schedules may require overtime work. A non-exempt employee will
be paid at one and one half times the regular hourly rate for hours
worked over 40 hours per week or 12 hours per day. Due to the nature
of the hospitality business, you are required to work overtime when
determined necessary and approved by your Supervisor.
95
For purposes of calculating overtime hours, only actual hours worked will
be counted. Paid time off is not counted as hours worked for purposes of
calculating overtime hours.
Overtime Compensation
Overtime compensation varies depending on the employee’s pay plan,
job duties, and other regulatory factors. For example, our salaried-exempt
employees normally do not receive extra pay for overtime hours.
Likewise, certain other employees are exempt from overtime premium
pay, so we pay those employees straight-time pay for overtime hours.
Our hourly non-exempt employees receive straight-time pay plus half-
time pay (the time-and-one-half rate) for overtime hours. In any event, all
overtime work performed by such employees will be paid properly.
Resignations
If you are voluntarily ending your employment, you must provide a
written statement of resignation. A minimum of two weeks advance
notice of resignation is requested. Failure to provide sufficient notice will
affect your eligibility for rehire.
Exit Process
Should your employment come to an end at The Broadmoor, you are
required to complete an Exit Checklist. The checklist is designed to
simplify the check-out process and to ensure that all Broadmoor Hotel
property is returned. Exit Checklists are available from your Department
Manager, Human Resources or any Form Center.

Holidays
All full-time employees who have completed 12 consecutive months of
full time service are entitled to receive three paid holidays per year. The
three recognized holidays are:
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
New Year’s Day
Eligible employees will be paid for eight hours of holiday pay on the
recognized holiday. If an employee is scheduled to work on the
recognized holiday, they will be paid for actual hours worked in addition
to the eight hours of holiday pay.
112
To be eligible for holiday pay, you work your last schedule shift before
the holiday and the first scheduled shift after the holiday, unless you are
on an authorized leave.
Personal Days
All full-time employees who have completed 12 months of consecutive
service are eligible to take four personal days per anniversary year.
Personal days can be used as needed and must be taken within the
anniversary year. Personal days cannot be accumulated or rolled over
into the next anniversary year. Unused personal days will not be paid out
upon resignation or termination from the Hotel. All personal days require
prior approval from your Department Manager.
Paid Sick Leave
Paid sick leave is available for employees who are, in fact, ill and unable
to work. Paid sick leave cannot be converted into vacation leave and is
not payable upon termination. Paid sick leave is for an employee’s own
illness and not for family members, unless used under an approved FMLA
Leave of Absence. The Hotel reserves the right to require a doctor’s
certification of your illness.
Each full-time employee accumulates two hours of paid sick leave every
pay period and is charged for sick leave taken. Paid sick leave is not
available for use until completion of the first six months of full-time
employment.
No employee may accumulate more than 15 days (or 120 hours) of paid
sick leave. Paid sick leave taken the last scheduled day prior or the first
scheduled day back from vacation, personal day, or holiday time requires
a doctor’s note. Failure to provide a doctor’s note in this circumstance
may result in a loss of paid time benefit and will result in disciplinary
action up to and including termination.
Sick leave days are not paid out upon resignation or termination from the
Hotel.
113
Paid Time Off Note
“Tipped employees” (those employees for whom the Broadmoor takes a
tip credit) will be paid vacation, sick and personal time at the current
minimum wage rate.
Election Day
The Broadmoor encourages employees to exercise their right to vote. If
you are unable to get to your polling location during regular polling
hours because you are scheduled to work, the Hotel will provide up to
two hours for you to vote. Arrangements must be made with the
Department Manager or Supervisor in advance to determine an
appropriate time.
Leaves of Absence
Should you require a leave of absence from your job, contact the Risk
Manager
in person
in Human Resources to determine your eligibility to
take leave and to obtain more information about the leave process. All
leaves of absence will be granted as required by law.
Personal Leaves of Absence
Personal leaves are not granted frequently, as the nature of our business
will not permit them. You may apply for a personal leave of absence in
person through Human Resources.
Personal leaves are granted on a case by case basis, and must be
approved by Human Resources, your Department Managers,
and if the leave is for longer than two weeks, require approval
from an Executive Committee member.
Personal leaves may be granted, and if granted, only after
vacation and personal time have been exhausted. If you receive
permission for a personal leave, you must fill out a
Leave of
114
Absence (LOA) Request Form
and contact the Risk Manager to
arrange to continue payments for your medical and dental
insurance. Vacation, sick and personal days will not accumulate
or accrue while on a leave of absence. Holiday pay will only be
paid if the employee has returned from their LOA.
All Hotel property must be returned before the leave
commences.
The employee will receive a date of hire adjustment upon their
return from Personal Leave.
When you return from a personal leave of absence, the Hotel
will attempt to return you to the position that you left.
If that position is no longer available, you will be considered for
any open positions for which you are qualified. If no positions
are available, you will be terminated.
Failure to report to work as scheduled following a leave of
absence can result in dismissal.
Medical and Dental Coverage
Medical and Dental CoverageMedical and Dental Coverage
Medical and Dental Coverage: You may continue
participation in your elected medical, dental and vision
coverage by paying the employee portion of premiums for group
medical, dental and vision insurance. Premiums must be paid in
advance of the leave by the employee. If you do not return from
your leave and have not paid your group medical, dental and
vision insurance, you will be billed for the premiums owed to the
hotel and by law you will be extended the opportunity to
continue coverage for a limited time by paying 102% of the total
coverage cost through COBRA regulations.

Definitions:
Definitions: Definitions:
Definitions: A “Serious Health Condition” is an illness, injury, impairment,
or physical or mental condition that involves either an overnight stay in a
medical care facility, or continuing treatment by a health care provider
for a condition that either prevents the employee from performing the
functions of the employee’s job, or prevents the qualified family member
from participating in school or other daily activities. Subject to certain
conditions, the continuing treatment requirement includes an incapacity
of more than three full calendar days and two visits to a health care
provider or one visit to a health care provider and a continuing regimen
of care; an incapacity caused by pregnancy or prenatal visits, a chronic
condition, or permanent or long-term conditions; or absences due to
multiple treatments. Other situations may meet the definition of
continuing treatment.
A Covered Service member” is a member or veteran of the Armed
Forces, including the National Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing
medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is otherwise in outpatient
status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious
injury or illness. The term “serious injury or illness” means an injury or
illness incurred by the member in the line of duty while on active duty in
the Armed Forces that may render the member rank, or rating, or one
the existed before the beginning of active duty. With regard to veterans,
the injury or illness may manifest itself before or after the individual
assumed veteran status.
“Qualifying exigencies” include activities such as short-notice
deployment, military events, arranging alternative childcare, making
financial and legal arrangements related to the deployment, rest and
recuperation, counseling, and post-deployment debriefings.

calculated the 12-month period beginning on the first day the eligible
employee takes FMLA leave to care for a Covered Service member and
ends 12 months after that date. FMLA leave for the birth or placement of
117

time, intermittently (in separate blocks of time), or by reducing the
normal work schedule when medically necessary for the serious health
condition of the employee or immediate family member, or in the case of
a Covered Service Member, his or her injury or illness. Eligible employees
may also take intermittent or reduced-scheduled leave for military
qualifying exigencies. Intermittent leave is not permitted for birth of a
child, to care for a newly-born child or for placement of a child for
adoption or foster care. Employees who require intermittent or reduced-

Vacation, Sick, Personal and Holiday: The company
requires you to use accrued paid leave (such as sick leave, vacation, or
PTO), concurrently with your FMLA leave. For employee FMLA Leave of
Absence, available sick time must be taken first, then vacation and then
personal time must be used. For FMLA Family or Military Caregiver or
Exigency Leave of Absence, available vacation time must be taken first,
and then personal and then sick time must be used. In order to substitute
paid leave for FMLA leave, an eligible employee must comply with the
Hotel’s normal procedures for the applicable paid-leave policy (e.g. call-in
procedures, advance notice, etc.). An employee may receive Holiday pay
while on an approved FMLA leave if the holiday falls within the first 30
day waiting period for Short Term Disability benefits. Upon approval and
payment of Disability benefits, Holiday pay will not be paid by the hotel
unless the employee has returned from FMLA leave.

Military Related FMLA Leave
FMLA leave may also be available to eligible employees in connection
with certain service-related medical and non-medical needs of family
members. There are two forms of such leave. The first is Military Caregiver
Leave, and the second is Qualifying Exigency Leave. Each of these leaves
is detailed below.
Military Caregiver Leave
Unpaid Military Caregiver Leave is designed to allow eligible employees
to care for certain family members who have sustained serious injuries or
illnesses in the line of duty while on active duty. The family member must
be a “Covered Service Member,” which means: (1) a current member or
veteran of the Armed Forces, National Guard or Reserves, (2) who is
undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, or in the case of
a veteran, who was a current member of the Armed Forces, National
Guard or Reserves within five years prior to the treatment for which an
eligible employee request leave; is otherwise in outpatient statues, or is
otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, (3) for a serious injury or
illness that may render a current member medically unfit to perform the
duties of the member’s office, grade, rank, or rating. Military Caregiver
Leave is not available to care for Service Members on the
permanent
disability retired list.
To be “eligible” for Military Caregiver Leave, the employee must be a
spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next kin of the Covered Service
Member. “Next of kin” means the nearest blood relative of the Service
Member, other than the Service Member’s spouse, parent, son, or
daughter, in the following order of priority: blood relatives who have
121
been granted legal custody of the Service Member by court decree or
statutory provisions; brothers and sisters; grandparents; aunts and uncles;
and first cousin; unless the Service Member has specifically designated in
writing another blood relative as his or her nearest blood relative for
purposes of Military Caregiver Leave. The employee must also meet all
other eligibility standards as set forth within the FMLA Leave policy.
An eligible employee may take up to 26 work weeks of Military Caregiver
Leave to care for a Covered Service Member in a “single 12-month
period.” The “single 12-month period” begins on the first day leave is
taken to care for a Covered Service Member and ends 12 months
thereafter, regardless of the method used to determine leave availability
for other FMLA-qualifying reasons. If an employee does not exhaust his
or her 26 workweeks of Military Caregiver Leave during this “single 12-
month period,” the remainder is forfeited.
Military Caregiver Leave applies on a per-injury basis for each Service
Member. Consequently, an eligible employee may take separate periods
of caregiver leave for each and every Covered Service Member, and/or
for each and every serious injury or illness of the same Covered Service
Member. A total of no more than 26 workweeks of Military Caregiver
Leave, however, may be taken within any single 12-month period.”
Within the “single 12-month period” described above, an eligible
employee may take a combined total of 26 weeks of FMLA leave
including up to 12 weeks of leave for any other FMLA- qualifying reason
(i.e. birth or adoption of a child, serious health condition of the employee
or close family member, or a qualifying exigency). For example, during
the single 12-month period,” an eligible employee may take up to 16
weeks of FMLA leave to care for a Covered Service Member when
combined with up to ten weeks of FMLA leave to care for a newborn
child.
An employee seeking Military Caregiver Leave may be required to
provide appropriate certification from the employee and/or Covered
Service Member and completed by an authorized health care provider
within 15 days. Military Caregiver Leave is subject to the other provisions
in our FMLA Leave Policy (requirements regarding employee eligibility,
122
appropriate notice of the need for leave, use of accrued paid leave, etc.).
Military Caregiver Leave will be governed by, and handled in accordance
with, the FMLA and applicable regulations, and nothing within this
policy should be constructed to be inconsistent with those regulations.
Qualifying Exigency Leave
Eligible employees may take unpaid “Qualifying Exigency Leave” to tend
to certain “exigencies” arising out of the duty under a call or order to
active duty of a “covered military member” (i.e. the employee’s spouse,
son, daughter, or parent”. Up to 12 weeks of Qualifying Exigency Leave
is available in any 12-month period, as measured by the same method
that governs measurement of other forms of FMLA leave within the
FMLA policy (with the exception of Military Caregiver Leave, which is
subject to a maximum of 26 weeks of leave in a “single 12-month
period”). Although Qualifying Exigency Leave may be combined with
leave for other FMLA-qualifying reasons, under no circumstances may
the combined total exceed 12 weeks in any 12-month period (with the
exception of Military Caregiver Leave as set forth above). The employee
must meet all other eligibility standards as set forth within the FMLA
policy.
Persons who can be ordered to active duty include active and retired
members of the Regular Armed Forces, certain members of the retired
Reserve, and various other Reserve members including the Ready
Reserve, the Selected Reserve, the Individual Ready Reserve, the National
Guard, state military, Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve,
Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Coast Guard Reserve.
A call to active duty refers to a
federal
call to active duty, and
state
calls to
active duty are not covered unless under order of the President of the
United States pursuant to certain laws.

active duty status, along with a statement setting forth the nature and
details of the specific exigency, the amount of leave needed and the
employee’s relationship to the military member, within 15 days.

safety rules may reduce your worker’s compensation benefits by 50%
and disciplinary action may result.
The following information will assist you in maintaining a safe and
healthy work environment while employed at The Broadmoor Hotel.

In the course of your duties as an employee, you may encounter a
situation in which blood or bodily fluids are present. Potential exposure
risks include hypodermic needles, soiled linens, broken glass,
contamination instruments, first-aid treatment, clean up after an illness,
and other potential sources of occupational exposure.
131
Although the risk is slight, it is possible that certain occupations may pose
an increased chance of contact with and/or potential exposure to
materials soiled or contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids.
Employees in occupations where there is an increased chance of
exposure will receive Bloodborne Pathogen training and will be offered
the Hepatitis B vaccine.
Immediately report any situation involving exposure to blood or bodily
fluids to your Department Manager, Supervisor, Loss Prevention, the
Assistant Manager, and/or the Risk Management office so that proper
action can be taken by specially trained and equipped employees.
Personal Protective Equipment
Some positions at The Broadmoor may require you to wear personal
protective equipment for your safety. Your Supervisor will train you in the
use and maintenance of the equipment.

Lock-Out / Tag-Out
Locking out to a Zero Energy State” is a planned
approach for service and maintenance safety. It takes into
account the total energy of a system and eliminates the
possibility of sudden or unexpected release of that energy
during such service or maintenance functions.
The purpose of the lock-out/tag-out policy is to prevent personal injury
and property damage due to the accidental energizing or startup of
machinery, equipment and/or process systems under repair or on which
maintenance is being performed.
132
It is the responsibility of the employees trained and authorized in lock-
out/tag-out procedures to perform these tasks in a manner that would
protect them and all other employees working in and/or around the area
from potential injury.
Quarterly Safety Meeting
The Risk Manager conducts a quarterly review of all claims. This is held at
a Department Head meeting.
Hotel Vehicle Operation
Some positions at The Broadmoor Hotel may require you to operate a
motorized vehicle.
1. You must have a valid Colorado driver’s license for the type of
vehicle you are operating.
2. Ignition keys shall be removed and doors locked when vehicle is
left unattended.
3. You are responsible for paying all penalties or fines for traffic
violations incurred while driving Hotel owned vehicles.
4. You and any authorized passenger must wear seat belts at all
times.
5. Only authorized personnel are permitted to drive or ride in Hotel
owned vehicles.
6. In the event of a vehicle accident and/or incident which results in
injury or property damage of any kind, you must immediately
notify your Supervisor and Loss Prevention.
7. Only vehicles that are properly licensed may be driven on public
streets.
133
8. No smoking, eating, or drinking is permitted in company vehicles,
including golf carts.
9. You must notify your Supervisor immediately if you are charged
with any citations or if there is any change in the status of your
license.
10. At company discretion, employees regularly assigned to driving
positions will be subject to periodic checks of their driving record.
For further information, please contact your Supervisor and/or refer to
the current policy on the safe operation of motorized vehicles.
Distracted Driving
The Broadmoor is committed to establishing and following practices that
provide for the safety and well-being of all employees. With the fact that
everyone is more connected than ever before and information flows
constantly, distracted driving has become a primary cause of these
accidents. Using a cell phone while driving increases the risk of a crash by
four times, and texting increases crash risk by 23 times.
The Broadmoor promotes safe driving habits whether driving a company
vehicle or your personal vehicle on Company business. Employees must
refrain from using PDAs, smart phones, cell phones or any other
communication devices while operating a motor vehicle, unless
approved by their manager. If an employee is permitted to use a
device for phone calls or radio communication, they must use hands free
communication. Sending or reading text messages, emails or other
written communications while driving a company vehicle is prohibited.
Failure to follow company policy while driving may result in
disciplinary action up to and including termination.
134
Drug and Alcohol Policy
As a condition of initial and continued employment, the Company
prohibits employees from reporting to work or performing their duties
with any unlawful drugs or alcohol in their systems. Employees also are
prohibited from using, possessing, manufacturing, distributing, or making
arrangements to distribute unlawful drugs or alcohol while at work, off
site at training or meetings, on Company or customer property (including
in personal vehicles onsite), during lunch or breaks, or in Company
vehicles. Further, the Company prohibits all unlawful drug use,
possession, or distribution, whether on or off duty drugs can stay in
one’s system and affect work later. Since it violates federal law to use or
possess marijuana, the use of marijuana for medical and or recreational
purposes as permitted by state law is not permitted under the Hotel’s
policy.
We recognize that some employees, from time to time, entertain
customers and guests of the Hotel as part of their normal job duties,
and/or while attending company sponsored events where alcohol is
offered. Such employees must have the approval of senior management
to engage in any activities that would normally be in violation of this
policy, such as drinking alcohol. We expect that those employees who
drink alcohol when entertaining customers or guests of the Hotel will do
so in moderation.
The Broadmoor Hotel has established the following testing guidelines
and adherence to the hotel’s drug and alcohol testing policy is
considered to be a general condition of employment. Drug testing will
be performed in situations of:
1. Post

related accident and/or illness regardless of severity. A witness to

3. Reasonable Suspicion/Reasonable Cause
Reasonable Suspicion/Reasonable Cause Reasonable Suspicion/Reasonable Cause
Reasonable Suspicion/Reasonable Cause - Any employee whose
actions appear impaired and/or is believed to have drugs in their
135
system. This includes any employee who is found to be working
in an unsafe manner, was directly involved and/or caused injury
to a co-worker, and/or working in an unsafe manner
causing destruction to hotel and/or guest property.
The Company may conduct a breathalyzer alcohol test and/or collect a
urine sample when the Company has reasonable suspicion that the
employee has violated the Drug and Alcohol Policy, including accidents
suggesting carelessness, disregard of safety rules or other conduct
indicating possible violation of the Drug and Alcohol Policy.
Violation of these rules, including: (1) a test indicating being under the
influence of alcohol or the presence of unlawfully used drugs in an
employee’s system; (2) refusal to cooperate with the Company in any
test, search or investigation, or failure to execute any paperwork or
consent forms necessary for examinations or tests; (3) possession of,
distribution of, or consumption of unlawful or abused drugs,
unauthorized alcohol, or drug paraphernalia; (4) tampering with or
adulterating a test sample; or (5) unlawful conduct on or off duty will
result in discipline, including immediate discharge of current employees
or disqualification of an applicant.
Employees who refuse to submit to a test for alcohol or for unlawful
drugs may be disqualified for unemployment compensation benefits. A
blood test will not be conducted.
Although the proper use of medication is not prohibited, employees
should consult with a Company-designated physician, or the employee’s
supervisor, when he or she is legitimately taking medication which he or
she has reason to believe may affect safety or performance. Any
prescription medication brought onto Company or customer property or
taken aboard Company vehicles must be retained in its original container
labeled with the names of the employee and the prescribing physician.
No employee may take another person’s medication. The law treats the
abuse of prescription medication as unlawful drug use.
If an employee wants to seek help for drug or alcohol problems prior to
being found in violation of the Company’s Drug and Alcohol Policy or
being asked to undergo a test, he or she may seek information from the
136
Assistant Director of Human Resources or the Director of Human
Resources.
Work Related Accident/Illness Reporting
In the event of an accident or illness that arises out of or through the
course of the employee’s work related activity, the following guidelines
will be followed:
1. In accordance with hotel policy, ALL
ALLALL
ALL
injuries or illnesses, no
matter how minor, which result from a work-related accident or
other occupational exposure, must be reported IMMEDIATELY
IMMEDIATELY IMMEDIATELY
IMMEDIATELY to
your Supervisor, Loss Prevention, and/or the Risk Management
office in Human Resources. This means at the time the accident
or injury occurred and definitely no later than the end of your
work shift!
2. In accordance with state law, it is the responsibility of the
employee to report on the job injuries or illnesses to your
Supervisor within four working days of the accident.
3. Failure to promptly report an on-the-job injury or illness may
adversely affect your workers’ compensation entitlements.
4. All arrangements for medical treatment due to an on-the- job
injury or illness will be made through the Risk Management
office. After regular business hours treatment will be coordinated
through Loss Prevention.
5. After your initial evaluation, future appointments for follow-up
treatment and care may be required. *You should make every
effort to schedule any subsequent medical appointments either
before or after your normal work shift.*
You need to contact Risk
Manager for this follow up.
6. You are solely responsible for keeping all scheduled
appointments and for rescheduling any appointment you may
have missed. Be advised that if you miss an appointment and do
not contact the medical provider within 24 hours, it may be
presumed that you have fully recovered from the effects of your
137
injury and that you are no longer in need of treatment. If this
is the case, your workers’ compensation entitlements may be
suspended or terminated. In addition, you may be billed for not
calling to cancel an appointment.
7. Every effort will be made to ensure that you receive appropriate
medical treatment and care for any work related injury or illness;
however, we have to know about a problem in order to correct
it! If there is an issue or concern, please contact the Risk
Management Office in Human Resources immediately. During
the course of treatment, the employee is responsible for
maintaining constant communication with the Risk Management
Office to ensure quality and continuity of care.
8. All medical treatment received for work-related injuries and/or
illness not coordinated through the Risk Management Office will
be considered unauthorized treatment of the employee.
Modified Duty/Return-To-Work
The modified duty/return-to-work program is intended to provide a
supportive environment designed to speed the recovery and return of an
injured employee to productive work capacity.
Modified work assignments are readily available and are designed to
provide work for employees who are physically capable of working
but who may be temporarily unable to perform their regularly
assigned duties or responsibilities due to a work related injury. One may
not refuse a modified duty position if qualified. Contact the Risk
Management office for further details.
Non-Work Related Injury/Illness
In the event of absence due to a non-work related injury or illness, an
employee may be required to provide medical documentation. Such
documentation, if required, must be in writing.
138
In all cases, if an employee misses three or more consecutive days from
work due to a non-work related injury or illness, a medical release is
required before you may be allowed to return. Such a release must
indicate the date on which you may return to work and clearly specify
what, if any, physical restrictions and/or limitations you have been placed
under by your medical provider, including the expected duration of such
restrictions.
Receipt of medical documentation may not be sufficient justification for
withholding or delaying appropriate disciplinary action if an employee
has an established record of excessive absenteeism or tardiness.
In the event an employee has a non-work related injury or illness that
temporarily prevents the employee from returning to the full duties of
the position, alternate or modified duty will not be provided unless
otherwise required by law. Situations such as these will be evaluated on
a case-by-case basis and a determination made as to whether an
employee can safely perform the normal or essential functions of the job
for which they were hired.
For any personal health problems, please seek the advice of your family
physician. Workers’ compensation does not cover expenses for non-work
related accidents, injuries or illnesses (for example, a private automobile
accident). Your health and/or automobile insurance coverage would
apply.
If, however, your personal medical provider should make a medical
diagnosis that they believe may be related to work or to your job, have
them clearly document the condition. You should then bring this
information directly to the attention of the Risk Management office in
Human Resources so that arrangements can be made for you to be
referred to the designated medical provider for further evaluation.
139
Worker’s Compensation
Whenever a work-related injury or illness occurs that requires any type of
outside medical treatment, the worker’s compensation process is
initiated.
Worker’s compensation covers the cost for medical treatment that may
arise as the direct result of any work-related injury or illness. You are
entitled under the law to reasonable and necessary treatment for your
occupational injury or illness.
Should a work-related injury force you to be out-of-work (a lost- time
injury), be advised that the first three lost workdays are to be recorded as
sick time. If you have no sick time available, then it will be recorded as
vacation time. If you have no vacation time, then is will be recorded as
time off without pay. This three-day waiting period is a requirement
under the workers’ compensation laws of the State of Colorado.
If, after the third business day, you are still unable to return to work, then
workers’ compensation (via the insurance carrier) will make wage
payments at 2/3 (equal to approximately 66.66%) of your average
weekly wage (subject to the state maximum wage rate structure).
Payments, sent directly to your home address, will continue at this rate
once every two weeks until you are physically capable of returning to
work.
Fraudulent Worker’s Compensation Claims
Employees who make false statements or claims for the purpose of
obtaining worker’s compensation entitlements, awards, or compensation
will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including the immediate
termination of employment.
The Colorado Worker’s Compensation Act, 8-43-402 C.R.S., provides that
if a person willfully makes a false statement or representation material to
a Worker’s Compensation claim for the purpose of obtaining benefits,
payments, compensation, or awards such person commits a class five
felony.
