About The Employee Handbook


The employee handbook describes our organization and the companys practices and policies that provide the foundation and important guidelines for working together effectively. This handbook is applicable to most Ciber employees working in the U.S. In addition, Ciber publishes separate handbooks for employees in some separate employment classifications. Employees should consult their Human Resource Specialist regarding whether a separate handbook may apply. Please read the handbook carefully and use it as a reference on occasions when uncertain of our policies. Our personnel policies are intended to help employees perform their job responsibilities more effectively. Knowing the guidelines allows employees to concentrate on the work at hand without the uncertainty that may develop in the absence of established policies. Still, we recognize that not every circumstance and situation can be anticipated by a policy or procedure. This Employee Handbook summarizes the major points of Ciber benefit plans and personnel policies, and does not detail all provisions, limitations, and exclusions of the plans or policies, all of which are subject to change. The official plan documents and policies are available by accessing the policies and procedures section on Cibers Intranet, Ciberspace. A copy of this handbook is also available on Ciberspace. This Employee Handbook does not constitute an employee contract and does not offer employment for any length of time or under any particular terms or conditions. Ciber, Inc. reserves the right to amend, modify, and waive the contents herein, with or without notice, from time to time. Where more detailed plan documents and insurance policies exist, such documents will prevail as to any conflicts herein. It is recommended that an employee consult the most current policy or plan document when reviewing a particular issue.

EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES


Equal Employment Opportunity
Ciber is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer and strives to comply with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, age, national origin or ancestry, disability, veteran status, marital status, genetic information, as well as any other category protected by federal, state, or local laws. All such discrimination is unlawful and all persons involved in the operations of Ciber are prohibited from engaging in this type of conduct. Ciber continues to make a commitment to recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting into all job levels the most qualified persons without regard to the protected characteristics described above. Employment decisions are based on objective standards as well as the furtherance of Equal Employment Opportunity. In accordance with applicable federal and state law protecting qualified individuals with known disabilities, Ciber will attempt to reasonably accommodate those individuals unless doing so would create an undue hardship on Ciber. Any qualified applicant or employee with a disability who requires an accommodation in order to perform the essential functions of the job should contact their manager and request an accommodation. Employees should report every instance of perceived unlawful discrimination to their immediate Ciber manager or to any other Ciber manager or to the Vice President of Employee Services, regardless of whether they or someone else is the subject of that treatment. Detailed reports (including names, descriptions, and actual events or statements made) will greatly enhance Cibers ability to investigate. Any documents supporting the allegations should also be submitted. Upon receipt of a complaint, Ciber will conduct an investigation. Ciber prohibits any form of retaliation for submitting complaints and for cooperating in any investigation. Any supervisor or employee who retaliates against the accuser or those involved in the investigation will be subject to disciplinary action which may include termination. If the investigation determines that a violation of Cibers policies has occurred, Ciber will take appropriate disciplinary action which may include termination of employment, against those who engaged in the misconduct.

Employment At-Will
Employment with Ciber may be terminated for any reason, or no reason, with or without cause or notice, at any time by the employee or Ciber. Nothing in this Handbook, other written communication, or any oral statement shall limit either Cibers or any employees right to terminate the employment relationship at either partys will. This policy of at-will employment may be revised, deleted, or superseded only by a written employment agreement signed by the CEO that expressly revises, modifies, deletes, or supersedes the policy of at-will employment. If the employment is covered by a written employment agreement, nothing in this Employee Handbook or in any oral statement shall modify or amend the terms of that agreement. With the exception of employment at-will, terms and conditions of employment with Ciber may be modified at the sole discretion of the company with or without cause or notice at any time. No implied contract concerning any employment-related decision, the duration of employment, or term or condition of employment can be established by any other statement, conduct, policy, or practice.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

Ciber's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics


Introduction
Ciber believes that good ethics are the basis for good business practices that will produce the best results for our shareholders. Cibers Code of Business Conduct and Ethics contains the ethical principles that guide our behavior and are required to meet ethical and legal standards for our business. All Ciber personnel are expected to read, understand, support and practice the policies in this Code. They apply to all employees, officers and directors of Ciber (hereinafter Ciber or the Company), all of whom will be referred to as employees or you and yours in the Code. This Code supplements the other policies and procedures found on Ciberspace. Ciber does business across the world, and that means employees may be subject to the laws of different countries and organizations such as the European Union. Each of us has an important responsibility to know and follow the laws that apply wherever we work. Ciber, Inc. is a corporation organized in the United States. For this reason and others, U.S. law may apply even when business activities are conducted outside the U.S. Other countries may apply their laws outside their boundaries too. Since Cibers independent contractors and subcontractors represent Ciber in their business dealings, they must also comply with our policies. Ciber employees are responsible for educating the independent contractors and subcontractors about the policies to ensure they meet the requirements of Cibers Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Company will review and revise these policies as necessary to meet the changing needs of the business. Although the Company will make a reasonable effort to notify employees of changes, the policies may change with or without advance notice. This Code of Conduct does not constitute an employment contract and does not offer employment for any length of time.

Conflicts of Interest
The Company wants to avoid issues that may arise when your personal interests (business, financial, civic or professional) conflict with the interests of the Company and/or with their loyalty, judgment or decision-making. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest can be harmful, because it may look like poor judgment was used. These rules also apply to your immediate family members and other relatives or individuals living in your home. Immediate family members include spouse or same-sex domestic partner, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, in-law (mother, father, sibling) and step-relatives (father, mother, sibling, child). Likely areas of conflicts of interest are listed below. Do not use company time, materials, equipment, information or other assets (for example, trade secrets, client or vendor information, etc.) for personal purposes and/or financial gain. Do not participate in a decision to select a vendor, contractor or subcontractor with which employee has a personal interest. Do not take advantage of business opportunities reasonably available to Ciber.
Revision 04/2013

Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook

To assist you in determining if you have a conflict of interest in a particular situation, you should consider the following: 1. Whether you or any member of your immediate family or household have been a director, officer, owner, partner, employee, agent, consulting company, contractor or subcontractor of a firm that is a competitor, client or supplier of Ciber's or whether you are in a close business or personal relationship with anyone associated with that firm; 2. Whether you have proprietary information from a prior employer; 3. Whether you or any member of your immediate family or household has more than a one percent financial interest in any firm that is a competitor, client or supplier of Ciber's and, if so, are you or any of your direct reports involved with decisions, contracts, recommendations, etc. with respect to such firms; 4. Whether you or any member of your immediate family or household is in an elected or appointed office or advisory position in federal, state or local government; and 5. Whether there is any other business or personal situation that you feel could be interpreted as an actual or potential conflict of interest. Contact the Law Department to report a possible conflict of interest or if further assistance is needed.

Confidentiality
Ciber expects all employees to respect the confidential information of Ciber, Ciber subcontractors and Ciber clients (collectively Ciber Information) with which they may be entrusted. Ciber Information includes any information that derives economic value from not being generally known to other persons, including, but not limited to, methods and techniques, client lists and profiles, business operations, data, finances, accounting procedures, billing rates, contractor fees, projections, estimates, tax records, employee lists, candidate lists, employee compensation, personnel history, existing and future products and services of Ciber and its clients. Ciber considers all such information to be trade secrets and expects its employees to do the same. You may use Ciber Information in the general course of doing business; however, all Ciber Information must be safeguarded against loss, damage, misuse, theft, fraud, sale, disclosure or improper disposal. Ciber Information may not be used for personal purposes or disclosed outside the Company. Doing so could damage the Company, competitively or financially. In addition, the confidential information of others may not be copied without the owners written permission. For example, do not reproduce, distribute or alter material from books, trade journals, magazines or licensed computer software, or use music or videotapes without the owners written authorization. If you leave Ciber, you remain legally obligated to not disclose Ciber Information to any new employer or anyone else who has not signed an appropriate non-disclosure agreement with Ciber or Ciber's clients. Ciber Information also includes information regarding the particular skill sets, assignments or expertise of Cibers employees. Accordingly, you may not share this information with your new employer to facilitate the new employers recruitment of Ciber personnel. Any disclosure of this information may subject you to legal liability in an action brought by either Ciber or the client against you.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

Protection and Use of Company and Client Assets


It is your responsibility to know these guidelines, and to conduct their activities accordingly. You are responsible for the appropriate use, maintenance and protection of Company and client assets from theft, damage or loss whether on or off Company or client premises. The term assets includes but is not limited to: Computer hardware and software, network services such as telephone, voice mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet access and third party services Cell phones and pagers Copiers, supplies and records Company funds and financial assets These assets are to be used for business purposes in serving the interest of the Company and of our clients in the course of normal operations. You should be aware that the data and documents you create on the corporate assets remains the property of Ciber. For security, network maintenance and other purposes, authorized individuals within Ciber may monitor equipment, systems and network traffic at any time. Here are some ways you can protect Company and client funds and property: Make sure expenditures are only for authorized and legitimate business purposes. Keep accurate and complete records of funds spent. Use corporate charge cards only for business purposes. Make sure Company and client assets (including passwords and other methods used to access or transmit data) and the information they contain are protected against unauthorized access, use, modification, destruction, theft, loss or disclosure. Use Cibers trademarks and service marks in accordance with Company instructions. Use telephones, e-mail and the Internet only for legitimate business purposes. While some incidental personal use may be permitted, these means of communication must never be excessive or used for illegal purposes, or in a manner inconsistent with Cibers policies and this Code. Plan travel well in advance and book appropriately to get best travel rates. Company funds may not be used for personal purposes. If you are issued a corporate credit card, it may only be used for business purposes. The Company may recover unauthorized expenses from you that are inappropriately classified as business. If you submit unauthorized expenses, corrective action could be taken against you up to and including termination. Actual or suspected loss, damage, misuse, theft, embezzlement, or destruction of Company funds or Company or client property should be reported immediately to the Chief Financial Officer. The following activities are strictly prohibited, with no exceptions: Violations of the rights of any person or company protected by copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property, or similar laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, the installation or distribution of pirated or other software products that are not appropriately licensed for use by Ciber. Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material including, but not limited to, digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books or other copyrighted sources,
Revision 04/2013

Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook

copyrighted music or video, and the installation of any copyrighted software for which Ciber or the end user does not have an active license is strictly prohibited. Introduction of malicious programs into the network (e.g., viruses, works, Trojan horses, e-mail bombs, etc.). Executing any form of network monitoring which will intercept data not intended for the employees host, unless this activity is part of your normal authorized job function. Circumventing user authentication or security of any host, network or account. Under no circumstances are you, as in an employee of Ciber, authorized to engage in any activity that is illegal under local, state, federal or international law while utilizing Ciber or client owned resources.

Compliance with Laws/Trading in Securities


Employees and Ciber must comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to Ciber and its business operations. Many of the policies in this Code facilitate compliance with those laws, rules and regulations. Because the common stock of Ciber, Inc. is traded publicly on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol CBR, the securities laws place certain restrictions on Ciber employees in the buying and selling of Ciber stock or publicly traded options to buy or sell Ciber stock. Accordingly, you have material, non-public information relating to Ciber or any of its subsidiaries, you may not buy or sell securities of the Company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information. Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are no exception. In addition, if you have material, non-public information relating to any proposed acquisition of, or business combination with, any public company or any other financial or other material information regarding any other public company arising out of your position with the Company, you may not buy or sell securities of that company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information.

Material Information
Material information is any information that a reasonable investor would consider important in a decision to buy, hold or sell stock (i.e., any information that could affect the price of the stock). Examples of material information include news of current earnings or losses, projections of future earnings or losses, news of a pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer, changes in dividend policies, the declaration of a stock split, the offering of additional securities, changes in management, and financial liquidity matters. Either positive or negative information may be considered material. If you have material information about Ciber, you must not pass the information on to others who may use the information to buy or sell Ciber stock for their own accounts.

Transactions by Family Members


The same restrictions apply to your family members and others living in the household. You are responsible for the compliance by your immediate family and personal household members.

Open Door Policy/ Ethics Compliance


Every employee has a responsibility to maintain and advance the business ethics reputation of the Company and its employees. It is managements obligation to establish and maintain processes to prevent, detect, report, and correct violations; and to make all appropriate disclosures to others with an interest in the ethical performance of the Company. All employees have parallel responsibilities to
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

act in compliance with the Code and, to maintain high business ethics standards and a work environment of trust and respect. Ciber believes that open communication is essential to a successful, ethical work environment and you should feel free to raise issues of concern without fear of reprisal. You have an open door to any level of management including the President of the Company. Differing opinions and expressions of concern are welcome. While we may disagree with one another, we know that healthy debate is important. We keep the communications channels open. When communication takes the form of a concern or complaint, you can take that concern or complaint to your Ciber manager. If the complaint is regarding your supervisor, or if the supervisor cannot solve the issue, you may take the matter to higher management or other appropriate persons without fear of reprisal or retaliation. Although Ciber cannot guarantee that every concern or complaint will be resolved to your satisfaction, all complaints will be investigated thoroughly, promptly and consistently, without bias or judgment, regardless of the manner in which they are reported or the individuals involved. To the extent possible, the Company will keep complaints and their resolution confidential. You are expected to cooperate in Company investigations and answer questions truthfully to the best of their ability. You should not undertake investigations on your own. If you believe a potential violation of a policy or the law occurred, please contact either the General Counsel in the Law Department or the Vice President of Employee Services. Where an audit or investigation reveals the need to take corrective measures, you have an obligation to cooperate in implementing changes in the systems, practices or procedures to avoid future ethics problems. However, it is a management obligation to determine, based on the facts and circumstances of each case, whether an ethical infraction warrants disciplinary action. Such action may involve penalties up to and including termination of employment. Disciplinary action, or lack thereof, does not preclude criminal or civil action by government agencies or law enforcement authorities for suspected ethics violations that may also breach applicable laws. At sites performing work under certain government contracts, ethics violations may also result in a withdrawal or denial of an individuals security access by the issuing authority, which may or may not impact continued employment.

Accurate Books and Records/ Public Disclosure of Company Information


It is extremely important that financial and other disclosure provided in Cibers reports and documents filed with or submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in other public communications made by Ciber be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. While the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Controller and other Company employees performing similar functions are primarily responsible for compliance with these disclosure requirements, all Company employees are accountable within the scope of their duties for ensuring that Cibers accounting, financial and other systems provide accurate and timely reporting of transactions involving Company assets so that, among other things, the SEC reports and other public communications about the Company represent the Companys financial and non-financial information in a full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable manner. Every accounting or financial record, as well as the underlying support data, must accurately describe transactions without omission, concealment, or falsification of information, and must comply with applicable accounting standards. Books are defined as documents (including electronic files) containing accounting, inventory, financial, securities and corporate information. Records are defined as all information recorded for the Company, such as:
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

Employee time reports and payroll records (i.e. overtime, Personal Time Off or other exception time) Sales transactions and billing records Purchasing transactions, including bills and invoices Permits and licenses Government reports Expense account records

Questions about requirements for financial reporting may be directed to the Chief Accounting Officer or Chief Financial Officer. In addition, Cibers Audit Committee has established a complaint procedure for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by Ciber regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters. This procedure allows for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of Ciber of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters and can be found on the Companys website at www.ciber.com, under Investors, Corporate Governance.

Document Management and Retention


You are responsible for protecting, maintaining and destroying records appropriately. Records include information in paper documents and electronic files found on computer hard drives, file servers, e-mail, disks, CDs, microfilm, DVDs, databases (including PMRx or Ciber records on customer databases) or any other media. You must manage records in a consistent manner to provide an accurate audit trail of the Companys business transactions. The length of time a record must be kept is determined by business and legal requirements. When records are no longer needed, they must be destroyed according to the retention schedule outlined in the Companys Document Retention Policy accessible on Ciberspace unless such records are subject to legal hold issued by the Companys Law Department. Such records can only be destroyed according to the retention schedule when the Law department has released the legal hold. Timely destruction reduces the cost of space, equipment and personnel necessary to store, organize and handle the high volume of records. It also helps the Company meet legal requirements established by federal, state and/or local laws, regulations and statutes. You should review their records on an annual basis, if not more often. See the Document Retention Policy on Ciberspace for more information.

Doing Business with the Government


Special care must be taken when dealing with federal, state and local government clients. Activities that might be appropriate when working with private sector clients may be improper and even unlawful when dealing with government employees. For example, under the federal Procurement Integrity Act, it is generally unlawful for Ciber employees to discuss employment or business opportunities with any government official involved in a pending procurement; to solicit or obtain certain types of information from the government employee; work or consult on a proposal for a contract where that employee was involved in the procurement as a government employee during the preceding year. The law also strictly prohibits offering or giving anything of value to a government employee involved in a pending procurement. Ciber policy strictly forbids the offering or giving of anything of value to government employees who work in government agencies that may be involved in decisions to purchase services or products from Ciber. This Ciber policy applies to state, local and foreign government employees involved in procurement decisions as well as federal government employees.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

Federal law prohibits offering, soliciting or accepting any kickback, as well as including any kickback amount, in a contract with the United States. The prohibition on kickbacks applies to both government and contractor employees. You may not solicit, accept, offer, or give anything of value, including money, fees, tickets, commissions, credit, gifts, gratuities, property, or compensation of any kind, for the purpose of obtaining or rewarding favorable treatment in connection with a Ciber contract or subcontract. The provision of anything of value can result in Ciber being disqualified from bidding for government procurement contracts. As you interact professionally and socially with government employees, you must avoid even the inference that any act was intended to obtain favorable treatment under our contract. A gesture intended to promote good will may have the opposite effect by making the recipient uncomfortable about having to turn down (and possibly report) the offer. There is no minimum standard of value under the law anything of value, no matter how small, may give rise to a violation. In addition, federal criminal and civil laws and regulations prohibit or restrict employment discussions with certain current government employees. They also prohibit permanently, or limit for certain periods of time, the type of work that may be performed by a former government employee. Because these laws and regulations change periodically, the Law Department should be consulted before responding to or initiating any contact with a government employee concerning present or future employment opportunities. Any questions regarding application of this policy to state and local government officials should be directed to the General Counsel, Ciber Law Department. Actual or possible violations of certain laws may need to be reported to the government; therefore, actual or suspected violations shall be reported to the General Counsel. The Law Department will ensure that the reporting requirements of these laws are accomplished.

Export Control
In order to protect U.S. national security and preserve scarce resources, the United States government restricts the export of certain technology and products, including certain computer software and technical goods and data. You must observe restrictions applicable to our business placed on the export and re-export of a U.S. product or component of a product, good, service, or technical data. These laws apply to more than just Ciber operations in the U.S. The U.S. asserts jurisdiction over the export of U.S. products and technical data, and any re-export from one country to another. Other countries may impose similar restrictions on the export of their products. Export laws cover more than just physical shipments. They also cover electronic transfers of technical data, software or technology, or the provision of services over the Internet, an extranet or an intranet; application development and delivery; e-business and e-services activities; providing technical specifications and performance requirements to suppliers for procurement from non-U.S. sources; and providing technical assistance abroad, providing technical data within the U.S. to a non-U.S. citizen - all involve activities that are subject to U.S. and other country export laws. It is against the law to engage in export activities without authorization or to facilitate the unauthorized transfers of Ciber technology. Penalties for failure to comply with export laws are severe and can result in fines, loss of export privileges and imprisonment. If you have questions on export-related issues, talk with your manager or the Law Department.

Anti-boycott
Ciber and you are prohibited from complying with or supporting a foreign countrys boycott of a country unless a qualifying exception is allowed. Ciber is also required to report promptly to the U.S.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

10

Government any request to support a boycott or to furnish information concerning a boycott. You should advise the Law Department of any such request.

Deemed Exports
Certain actions that you might not regard as an export in other contexts do constitute an export subject to the Export Administration Regulations. For example, the release of technology to a foreign nation in the United States through such means as demonstration or oral briefing is deemed an export. Contact the Law Department if you have any questions.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption


Ciber and its subsidiaries and affiliates must be good citizens in every country where we conduct business. Accordingly you are required to comply with laws regarding anti-bribery and anticorruption. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was passed in 1977 and the UK Bribery Act (the Bribery Act) became effective July 1, 2011. Because of its extensive extra-territorial application, many international companies like Ciber fall within the scope of the similarly broad extra-territorial application and is widely considered to be more far reaching that the FCPA in a number of respects. Because of the extra-territorial reach of both Acts, Ciber will fall with the scope of both the FCPA and the Bribery Act. The Bribery Act applies to bribery both domestically and with foreign elements. The FCPA only applies to bribery involving foreign officials although domestic bribery is covered by other laws.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act


The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits you from offering, paying, promising to pay money or give anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of any foreign government, to employees of companies owned by a foreign government, candidates for foreign political office, or foreign political parties or party officials (collectively Foreign Officials) knowing that the money or gift will be offered or given for the purpose of: Influencing a government officials decision, including a decision to fail to perform his or her lawful duty; Causing the government official to use his or her influence with the government to gain any improper advantage; or Assisting a company in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA requires companies to keep accurate books and records so that payments are honestly described and not used for unlawful purposes. These accounting standards are designed to prevent off-the-book transactions, including kickback, bribes, and slush funds. They require Ciber to keep books, records and accounts so that they accurately reflect all business transactions. The UK Bribery Act prohibits Ciber, its subsidiaries and its employees from committing carious acts associated with bribery anywhere in the world. Bribery means giving or received or agreeing to give or received and undue reward, whether financial or non-financial, to influence the behavior of someone in government or business to obtain commercial advantage. In particular, The Bribery Act prohibits: Giving, promising or offering a bribe Requesting, agreeing to received or accepting a bribe Bribing a foreign official or Failing to prevent bribery
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

11

The Bribery Act applies to both individuals and companies who are: UK citizens or residents (including citizens living out the UK) Non-UK citizens and residents where the bribe occurs in the UK UK headquartered companies Companies that operate in the UK whose employees or agents (regardless of nationality) commit bribery. Both the FCPA and the Bribery Act can subject the company and then individuals involved to unlimited fines and penalties. In additional corruption-related allegations can result in timeconsuming regulatory investigations, disrupted business operations and significant damage to the Companys brand and reputation. Under the FCPA, there is an exception relating to certain facilitating payments to foreign Government employees. Ciber discourages these payments, and a payment may be made only in these limited circumstances: You obtain approval from the Law Department. It is legal in the country in question. It is necessary to obtain or expedite the performance of routine, non-discretionary, legitimate, customary duties, such as mail delivery, scheduling inspections or customs clearance. It is requested by the Government employee. The payment is small (below $250 on an annual basis) and is fully and accurately recorded on the companys books. It does not involve a decision to award business to, or to continue doing business with, the company. In some countries all such payments are considered illegal and therefore should never be made. Payments may never be made to any U.S. Government employee.

Political Contributions and Activities/Lobbying


Ciber complies fully with all federal, state, local and foreign laws governing the contribution of funds or assets to candidates for political office or to political parties. Under federal law, Ciber may not contribute corporate funds or make in-kind corporate contributions to candidates for federal office and no employee or agent may approve such contributions on behalf of the Company. In those states that prohibit contributions to state political candidates, Cibers policy is the same as that for federal candidates. Any request for or interest in Ciber making a contribution to a political candidate or party must be forwarded to and handled by Cibers General Counsel. Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Law Department. Because lobbying and lobbyists are regulated by the law, you may not engage in lobbying on behalf of the Company or engage others to do so unless specifically requested to do so by an elected officer of the Company in consultation with the Law Department. In addition, federal law prohibits the recipient of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement from using appropriated funds to pay anyone for influencing or attempting to influence government or congressional personnel in the awarding or modifying of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The law also requires the recipient to furnish a declaration consisting of a certification and a disclosure during the procurement process. Extreme care should be exercised to ensure appropriated funds are not used for any prohibited lobbying activities. Any

suspected violations should be reported to the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or the General Counsel.

Relationships with Suppliers


We strive to build good working relationships with our suppliers including, specifically, our independent contractors and subcontractors. They are instrumental in helping us achieve the highest standards of quality in satisfying our clients. Ciber considers multiple factors when selecting suppliers. These factors include, among other things, price, quality, delivery capacity, reputation for service and integrity, and the suppliers status as a client of Ciber services. The Company has negotiated certain contracts with vendors for discounts on high-volume purchases such as travel, office supplies, and cellular and long distance services in order to help lower operating expenses. You must justify to your supervisor the selection of alternative vendors before purchasing products and services from them. You may not request gifts or entertainment that may influence your judgment in favor of a particular supplier or client over others. A supplier is any company or person (such as a consulting company, contractor or subcontractor) who sells services or products to the Company and is not an employee. You and your immediate family members and other individuals living in your home may accept gifts or entertainment or have a meal or drinks or attend an event that includes lodging and transportation with a vendor or client, or accept a free or discounted product, service, gift or other favor from a vendor or client only if the gift or entertainment is: unsolicited; provided to others in the normal course of doing business; for a legitimate business purpose; such that it does not cause employee to favor a particular supplier or client over others; not improper, offensive or otherwise in conflict with corporate policies; and not in violation of a law.

You may provide gifts and entertainment to a supplier or client as long as you meet the above conditions and do not influence a business decision. Promptly return unacceptable gifts to the supplier. If return is impractical (such as perishable fruit, etc.), donate the gift to charity in the suppliers name. Send the supplier a thank you letter but explain the disposition of the gift and Cibers policy regarding gifts.

Client Relationship
Ciber recognizes that integrity and client satisfaction go hand in hand. In todays fiercely competitive marketplace, we can only succeed by meeting the high expectations of our clients with our products and services.

You should compete vigorously, but fairly. Ciber does not misrepresent its services and products, even if it means losing a sale. Where silence about a fact could mislead a client, employees shall disclose the information, subject to appropriate safeguards where the information is confidential to Ciber. Ciber communicates clearly and precisely so that our clients understand the terms of our contracts, including performance criteria, schedules, prices, and responsibilities.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

Competition
Laws governing competition exist in most of the industrialized countries in which Ciber does business. The purpose of competition law is to prevent interference with the functioning of a competitive market system. While the purpose of such laws is primarily economic, their effect is often seen as going beyond consumer welfare to protecting other values of society, including individual freedoms. Under these laws, companies may not enter into agreements with other companies, including their distributors and remarketers, however informally, that unreasonably restrict the functioning of the competitive system, such as price fixing or dividing clients or territories. Cibers policy is to comply fully with competition laws throughout the world. You can help by adhering to all of Cibers business conduct guidelines, by being sensitive to legal concerns under competition laws, and by raising any such concerns with the Ciber Law Department.

Gathering Competitive Information


Gathering information about competitors, when done legally and ethically, is a legitimate business activity. It enhances our knowledge of the marketplaces in which we sell and helps us understand and meet client needs. However, competitive information should never be obtained directly or indirectly by improper means such as misappropriation of proprietary information, bribing a competitors employee, or misrepresenting the fact that one is a Ciber employee, or hiring a consulting company to engage in any of this conduct. There are also other ways competitive information could come to your attention, such as when they are attending trade shows, trade association gatherings, or other types of meetings with competitors. In such cases, you may not participate in discussions with competitors about pricing, profit margins or costs, bids, terms or conditions of sale, sales territories, market share, distribution practices, or other competitive information. Not only do these types of conversations pose the risk of you obtaining proprietary information through inappropriate means, they also can create the appearance or form the basis of a price fixing conspiracy among competitors. Such activities generally are illegal under the antitrust laws. If you find yourself involved in this type of discussion, excuse yourself and immediately report the incident to the Law Department.

Intellectual Property
All work done at Ciber or Cibers clients shall be work done for hire. Cibers work is predominantly for the benefit and ownership of our clients. Any and all inventions, discoveries, concepts, improvements, processes, methods, tools, utilities, etc., whether or not subject to patents, copyrights, trademarks, or service mark protections, and whether or not conceived, developed or created by you while working for Ciber or its clients that relate to or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, research, or investigation, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Ciber or its clients, not your, and no you shall assert any patent or copyright for such work. You agree to assign to Ciber, or its designee, any rights they may acquire in such inventions as they are created, throughout the world, in perpetuity. You will assist Ciber and its clients in the enforcement of such matters, including signing further documentation, if and as requested, to assure all produced or in-process work belongs to Ciber or its clients. You shall turn over to Ciber or its clients immediately upon request one hundred percent of all confidential materials, software and other tangible and intangible property related to work performed for Ciber or its clients, whether on a client site or elsewhere.

Communications with the Financial Community and Media


The Company has designated certain spokespersons as the only employees who can discuss certain information with the news media and financial community.

Communications with the Financial Community


You must not discuss with anyone in the financial community (i.e., stockbrokers, analysts, etc.) business conditions of Ciber. If you receive a call from a stockbroker or analyst, you must not offer any comment about the business condition or clients of Ciber. Instead, you should respond by saying that it is our Companys policy for these matters to be handled by the Vice President of Investor Relations who may be contacted at Cibers corporate office.

Communications with the Media


If you receive a call from an editor/reporter representing local newspapers, TV/radio stations or other business/financial publications, you should refer the caller to the Vice President of Investor Relations or the Vice President of Marketing at the corporate office.

However, appropriate management personnel may handle routine calls from the trade press that do not involve discussions of business/finance.

Social Media
Ciber encourages the responsible use of social networks for business related and professional networking purposes. Any employee of Ciber, by virtue of identifying themselves as such within a social network, is creating perceptions about themselves by their colleagues and managers; in addition they are creating perceptions about their expertise and about Ciber by our shareholders, customers and general public. It is important that you are aware of the implications of engaging in forms of social media and online conversations that reference Ciber and or your relationship with Ciber and Ciber products and services, and that you recognize that Ciber may be held responsible for your content posted on social network sites. You are required to comply with Cibers Social Media Policy, accessible on Ciberspace, and social media should never be used in a way that violates any other Ciber policy or employee obligation. You should not initiate or respond to comments related to the trading of Ciber stock, Company operating results, non-public information (i.e., new client contracts or any other client-specific information), or any form of communication that could be construed as insider information about the Company, whether negative or positive.

Other Requests for Information


Other releases of information relating to the Company (except normal material given to suppliers or clients) should be coordinated with Company management and the Law Department as appropriate. Releases of information relating to employees, suppliers, or clients must be coordinated with the Law Department to ensure compliance with applicable laws protecting the privacy and property rights of those parties.

Contract Authorizations
Ciber's board of directors has delegated to certain individuals the authority to sign contracts and other agreements and to legally bind the Company to those contracts and agreements. Unless you are one of those individuals to whom such authority has been delegated, you should not sign any contracts or agreements. Ciber's policy on Contract Approval identifies who may sign contracts and at what dollar levels.

Drug and Alcohol Policy


Introduction
Ciber is committed to providing a safe work environment and to promoting and protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees. This commitment is jeopardized when any Ciber employee engages in the use, possession, sale, conveyance, distribution or manufacture of illegal drugs, intoxicants, controlled substances or abuses prescription drugs or alcohol. Substance abuse is a significant public health problem, which has a detrimental effect on the business community in terms of productivity, absenteeism, accidents, medical costs, theft, and Workers Compensation costs. Therefore, Ciber has established the following policy. Ciber realizes that drug and alcohol abuse can have serious consequences and create dangers in the workplace. Studies have shown that substances abusers are significantly more accident-prone then non-abusers and that they function at a significantly less than their potential mental and physical capacity. Ciber is a drug-free workplace that follows United States Federal laws regarding drugs and alcohol regardless of state or provincial law. The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety of all employees and to promote productivity. It is Cibers policy that the unauthorized use, possession, manufacture, distribution, sale, dispensation, cultivation or storage of alcohol, synthetic drugs, illegal drugs, illegally used drug (prescription drugs), or drug paraphernalia by any full time, part time, temporary, or sub-contractor while on duty, reporting to duty, on Ciber or Ciber client premises, operating a company vehicle, client vehicle, or personal vehicle while on company business is prohibited. All employees must abide by this policy as a condition of employment. An employee who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action which may include termination. Ciber reserves the right to inspect our premises for these substances. Company premises include our buildings, grounds, parking lots, and company provided vehicles including rental vehicles used for Ciber business. You are under the influence if any substance: (substance includes but is not limited to alcohol, illegal drugs, inhalants, synthetic drugs, prescription and over-the-counter drugs) Impairs your behavior or your ability to work safely and productively; Results in a physical or mental condition that creates a risk to your own safety, the safety of others, or company property; or Is shown to be present in your body, by laboratory evidence, in more than an identifiable trace.

An illegal drug includes but is not limited to any substance that is illegal to use, possess, sell, or transfer, under federal and state laws. Drug paraphernalia includes but is not limited to any items used or intended for use in making, packaging, concealing, injecting, inhaling, or consuming illegal drugs or inhalants. A prescription drug includes is but not limited to any substance prescribed for an individual by a licensed health care provider. An inhalant includes but is not limited to any substance that produces mind-altering effects when inhaled.

Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook

Revision 04/2013

19

Ciber may consult with a doctor to determine if a prescription or over-the-counter drug may create a risk if you use it on the job. Ciber may change your work duties or restrict you from working while you are using a prescription or over the-counter-drug that creates such a risk. Ciber reserves the right to conduct alcohol and drug tests at any time, except where prohibited by law. You must cooperate with any investigation into substance abuse. An investigation may include tests to detect the use of alcohol, drugs, or inhalants. Testing may include urine, blood, hair or breathalyzer tests. These tests will be conducted by medical facilities designated by Ciber at Cibers expense. Testing may also be performed upon an employees return from a leave of absence or after an accident or injury. Ciber may require a drug test for any Workers Comp claim submitted. Before testing, you will have the chance to explain the use of any drugs. Cibers drug free workplace policy is intended to comply with all state and provincial laws governing drug and alcohol testing and is designed to safeguard employee privacy rights to the fullest extent of the law. Employees may be placed on paid or unpaid leave during the course of an investigation. Ciber may terminate your employment if you violate this policy, refuse to be tested, or provide false information. Furthermore, as a part of this policy, any employee convicted of violating any criminal drug statute must report that conviction to Ciber management within five days after the conviction. In addition, employees and prospective employees may be subject to any substance abuse policies, rules or requirement of Cibers clients to which they are assigned, including but not limited to drug and alcohol testing or other searches. Prospective employees that are required to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing as part of their employment and refuses to take the test, or has positive test results will preclude further processing of the application. Employees and applicants will sign consent forms before being tested. When drugs are being screened, a positive initial screen will be followed by a confirmatory test. Individuals who test positive for controlled substance use or whose metabolites are confirmed positive will be deemed to be in violation of this policy. A Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) test result of more than 0.04, or the client specified standard, whichever is less, will be deemed positive, and the individual will be considered in violation of this policy. Participation in a random drug testing program may be required in order to be eligible to work on certain Ciber client contracts. From time to time, alcoholic beverages may be provided at Ciber sponsored events, or may be provided at client sponsored events that Ciber employees are invited to. It is expected that all employees, spouses, and/or guests that choose to drink, will drink responsibly and in moderation during these events. All precautions should be taken to ensure the safety of all individuals that attend, during and following these events. Service of alcohol to underage individuals is strictly prohibited.

Anti-Violence Policy
Introduction
Ciber will not tolerate acts or threats of physical violence, including intimidation, harassment, and/or coercion, that involve or affect Ciber or that occur on company property or in the conduct of company business off Ciber property. This prohibition against threats and acts of violence applies to all persons involved in company operations, including, but not limited to, Ciber personnel, contract workers, and anyone else on company property or conducting company business off Ciber property. Violations of this policy, by any individual, will lead to disciplinary and/or legal action as appropriate.
Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

20

This policy does not create any obligations beyond those required by existing law.

Definitions
Workplace violence is considered to be intentional conduct that is sufficiently severe, offensive, or intimidating to cause an individual to reasonably fear for his or her personal safety or the safety of his/her family, friends, and/or property such that employment conditions are altered or a hostile, abusive, or intimidating work environment is created for one or more Ciber employees. Workplace violence may involve any threats or acts of violence occurring on or off company premises that involve employees, agents or individuals acting as representatives of Ciber whether as victims of or active participants in the conduct. Specific examples of conduct that may constitute threats or acts of violence under this policy include, but are not limited to the following: Threats or acts of physical or aggressive contact directed toward another individual Threats or acts of physical harm directed toward an individual or his/her family, friends, associates, or property The intentional destruction or threat of destruction of company property or another employees property Harassing or threatening phone calls or communication of any kind Surveillance Stalking Veiled threats of physical harm or similar intimidation Any conduct resulting in the conviction under any criminal code provision relating to violence or threats of violence that adversely affect Cibers legitimate business interests

Workplace violence does not refer to occasional comments of a socially acceptable nature. These comments may include references to legitimate sporting activities, popular entertainment, or current events. Rather, it refers to behavior that is personally offensive, threatening, or intimidating.

Enforcement
Any person who engages in a threat or violent action on Cibers or a clients property may be removed from the premises as quickly as safety permits and may be required, at Cibers discretion, to remain off Cibers or a clients premises pending the outcome of an investigation of the incident. When threats are made or acts of violence are committed by an employee(s), a judgment will be made by Ciber as to what actions are appropriate, including possible medical evaluation and/or possible disciplinary action, including employment termination. Once a threat has been substantiated, a decisive and appropriate response will be taken by Ciber. Under this policy, decisions may be made to prevent a threat from being carried out, a violent act from occurring, or a life-threatening situation from developing. No existing policy or procedure of Ciber should be interpreted in a manner that prevents making these necessary decisions. Ciber will make the sole determination of whether, and to what extent, a perception exists that threats or acts of violence will be acted upon. In making this determination, Ciber may undertake a case-by-case analysis in order to ascertain whether there is a reasonable basis to believe that workplace violence has occurred. No provision of this policy shall alter the at-will nature of employment at Ciber.

Possession of Weapons and Other Dangerous Items


Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook Revision 04/2013

21

It is against Ciber policy for any Ciber employee to carry a weapon onto any client or company site. A weapon includes any type of firearm, knife, explosive device or any other instrument or equipment that could potentially be used to injure other persons. Violation of this policy may result in immediate termination.

Employee-Manager Relationship
The essential element of two-way communication within Ciber is the employee-manager relationship. While an employees Ciber manager will conduct a performance appraisal session periodically, employees always have the opportunity to talk to their Ciber manager at regular intervals during their employment. In these sessions, employees should be as open and honest as possible with their questions and share their concerns and ideas for improving Ciber. An employees Ciber manager is responsible for passing along ideas that will help Ciber and employees. If employees have a question that cannot be answered immediately, the employees Ciber manager will get the answer for them.

Performance Appraisals
Performance appraisals are generally conducted annually. A performance appraisal is not necessarily accompanied by a salary review. It may be used as the basis of a salary review but is not a guarantee of a salary increase.

Ciber, Inc. Employee Handbook

Paid Time Off (PTO) General Information


Cibers PTO program includes vacation, personal time and floating holidays. For employees convenience, all categories of leave are combined on the PTO account record and are commonly referred to as PTO. This program recognizes the varying needs of employees to receive time off based on individual preferences and circumstances by allowing employees the greatest possible flexibility in determining when and how PTO benefits are used. The program provides employees with control over their own time, promotes a high degree of mutual trust and accountability, reinforces the importance of planning and scheduling, and simplifies the administration of PTO benefits. Ciber expects all employees to manage their time effectively and to utilize their available PTO each year. Except for unexpected use of PTO (i.e., personal, bereavement, weather), Ciber management approval is required as far in advance as possible for planned time off. A longer period of advance notice may be required for PTO requests of longer durations. PTO will be scheduled so as to provide adequate coverage of job and project requirements. Ciber Managers are responsible for considering and making the final determination on approvals of PTO requests. PTO may not be used to increase the amount of paid hours in a week to a sum of over 40 hours. During a week in which the sum of reported PTO, Holiday, and worked hours combine to equal over 40 hours, PTO may only be used in an amount to equal, not exceed, 40 hours. Unscheduled paid time off may be taken only for an employees or their familys illness or injury, or an emergency. In this case, employees should notify their Ciber manager as soon as possible so he or she can notify the client and adjust client schedules. Certification by employees health care provider is required for absences due to an illness or injury of five or more consecutive workdays or for intermittent absences due to the same reason. A health care providers written authorization may also be required before reinstatement after an illness or injury. A health care providers written authorization may also be required in other circumstances. It is an employees responsibility to apply for any disability benefits for which they may be eligible as a result of illness or disability, including state disability insurance, workers compensation insurance, and/or any Short-Term Disability insurance benefits for which they qualify. PTO is tracked in hours. An employee is expected to use only time that has been accrued in their PTO account; however, with management approval and in emergency circumstances, an employee may be allowed to take PTO they have not accrued, up to a maximum of 40 hours. PTO accrual stops when an employee is on Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, or any unpaid leave. Employees are required to use any available PTO balance before taking authorized unpaid leave. When employees reach their five-year employment anniversary during any calendar year, their PTO account will be adjusted at that time to reflect the higher accrual rate. Employees are eligible to use an additional five days per year (3.33 hours of combined PTO per month) once they reach these employment anniversary milestones. For example, if an employee is a Full-Time Full Benefit Employee with four years of service and in July they will reach their five year employment anniversary date, the combined PTO account will reflect an additional 3.33 hours per month starting in July.

PTO Cap
Once an employee has reached his/her PTO cap for the applicable PTO category no additional PTO will be earned until PTO is used. Employees are encouraged to use their PTO before their PTO

reaches the PTO hours cap. Employees are not given retroactive credit for any period of time in which they did not receive PTO hours because they were at the maximum. Detailed information on PTO plans, monthly accruals, caps and PTO payout at the time of termination can be found in Cibers PTO policies available on Ciberspace

Full-Time Full Benefit Employee working 32-39 hours per week


Full-Time Full Benefit Employees regularly scheduled to work between 32-39 hours per week are eligible to receive 80% of the Standard PTO Schedule above.

SG&A Employees
All levels of Full-Time Full-Benefit SG&A employees (administrative staff, recruiters, salespeople, etc.) and Director level direct employees who participate in Cibers PTO program must use all PTO by the end of each calendar year. Unused PTO is not available for carryover into the following calendar year. Negative balances are allowed per the PTO policy. An employee with a negative balance on December 31 will have that balance carried over into the subsequent years PTO.

Executive Management
Executive management employees do not participate in the PTO program. Time-off arrangements are arranged on a case-by-case basis with their manager on an as needed basis to provide work life balance. There is no accrual of time, and no pay out of any time in the event of termination of employment. Executive management positions for the purposes of this policy are defined as: Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, Vice President, and Senior Director.

PTO for New Hires


Eligible employees joining Ciber will begin accruing time off at the completion of their first full month of employment. For example, an employee that starts on July 5th will accrue their first PTO credit at the completion of August. Employees that begin employment on the first working day of a month and complete a full month of employment will accrue PTO at the end of that month.

PTO Cash Out


Full-Time Full Benefit and Choice Benefit billable (Direct) employees of Ciber may request PTO Cash Out of accrued but unused PTO at 100% of their base pay rate. An employee not on a billable assignment may not cash out PTO. Employees may not cash out PTO which will leave a balance of less than 40 hours. Eligible employees may not cash out more than 80 hours in any 12 month period. A PTO Cash Out is only permissible upon the approval of the Practice Manager. PTO Cash Out will be taxed at the IRS supplemental tax rate. If an employee resigns within 60 days following receipt of a PTO Cash Out, the non-vacation portion of the PTO balance included in the PTO Cash Out is required to be repaid to Ciber through final payroll deduction.

Employees Leaving the Company


At the time an employee leaves Ciber, the employee receives the cash value of the vacation portion (a specific percentage based on years of service and PTO plan) of their PTO balance credited through the last complete month of employment (less any PTO used in that last month) at their current base rate of pay. An employee may not use or cash out PTO during their resignation period. A PTO payout will be taxed at the IRS supplemental tax rate. If an employee has a negative PTO balance at the time of their termination of employment, the value will be deducted from their last paycheck at their current rate of pay. Use of PTO to extend the termination date is not allowed without Ciber management approval.

Employee Classification Changes


If an employee transitions from a Full-Time Full Benefit classification to a non-benefited employment classification that is not eligible to participate in the PTO program, the vacation portion of their PTO balance will be paid out to the employee.

Employees On Leave
While employees are on PTO, holiday, or jury duty, they will continue to earn PTO. If employees are on Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, or any unpaid leave for more than 5 business days in any calendar month they will not accrue PTO for that month. If employees go on Short-Term or Long-Term Disability, they may supplement their STD/LTD benefits with any accrued unused PTO.

Holidays Introduction
Ciber observes fixed holidays for which eligible employees are paid. The Ciber Holiday schedule for each upcoming year is available in November and posted on Ciberspace. Ciber observes the following holidays: New Years Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Day Day After Thanksgiving Christmas Day

If a scheduled holiday falls on a weekend, Ciber will designate either the previous Friday or the following Monday as the day for which Ciber will recognize the holiday. If the client an employee works for is closed for a holiday that is not a Ciber scheduled holiday, the employee must report that day as PTO. When necessary Ciber management will determine work schedules on client holidays not observed by Ciber. If an hourly non-exempt employee is required to work on a Ciber scheduled holiday, they should contact their Ciber manager regarding options for reporting that day. Options include either being paid double time for time worked on the Ciber scheduled holiday, or taking an alternative day as their paid holiday within the same pay period as the worked holiday. Salaried exempt employees may be provided with the option of taking an alternative day as their paid holiday. The alternative day should be used within the same pay period as the worked holiday. In situations in which client project completion demands do not allow an alternative day to be taken during the same pay period, the use of the alternative day may be extended with Practice Leader approval, with the expectation that the use of the day should be scheduled as soon as project completion demands allow. Holidays not taken during the calendar year are not accrued, not paid upon termination, and are not carried over to the next calendar year.

Full-Time Full Benefit and Choice Plus Benefit Employees


Full-Time Full Benefit and Choice Plus Employees regularly scheduled to work 40 hours per week will receive eight hours of holiday pay on each fixed holiday.

Full-Time Full Benefit and Choice Plus Employees working 32-39 hours per week

The amount distributed will be employee contributions and earnings, and any vested portion of company matching contributions.

The IRS requires that funds withdrawn under hardship conditions must be used for (1) purchase or preservation of a primary residence, (2) higher education, or (3) un-reimbursed medical expenses. Employees must exhaust all 401(k) loans available before becoming eligible for a Hardship Distribution. The IRS precludes participation in 401(k) plans for twelve months after such withdrawal. The distribution will be taxed as ordinary income and will be subject to an excise tax.

Loans
The Plan allows employees to borrow against their 401(k) account. Up to 50% of their contributions and earnings (not including company match) are eligible for a loan, subject to a $1,000 minimum and $50,000 maximum.

DRESS GUIDELINES
Guidelines for Determining Appropriate Attire
Ciber has adopted Business Casual as the everyday dress standard in our offices. The dress standard at the client site varies per client location. The following guidelines shall be used in determining appropriate attire.

Attire at Client Sites


Initial meetings with clients require professional business attire unless the client dress code dictates otherwise. If after the first meeting with a client the client requests that the employee wear casual clothing, a level of dress that is one level more professional than the standard of the client is appropriate (e.g., if the client wears jeans, khakis are appropriate).

Attire for Recruiting Events


Business casual attire will be deemed appropriate for off-site recruiting events as well as recruiting activities held in a Ciber office unless otherwise advised.`

Business Attire in Ciber Offices


It is important to note that, although Ciber has adopted Business Casual as the everyday dress standard in our offices, professional business attire will be required for some internal activities and meetings. These internal activities include, but are not limited to, meetings with prospective clients, business partners, or third party vendors. An exception to this standard will be allowed for meetings with business partners or vendors whose standard attire is business casual and with whom there is a long standing, established relationship.

Business Casual Attire in Ciber Offices


Business Casual means clean, neat, wrinkle-free professional clothing that fits correctly. Employees overall appearance should be professional and conservative in nature and should never be a distraction to others. Items that are frayed, faded, torn, stained, or wrinkled are inappropriate. Clothing that fits either too tightly or too loosely is also considered inappropriate.

Slacks
Well-tailored and pressed khakis or dress pants are acceptable and should be worn with a belt. Womens ankle/cropped or capri pants should be no higher than mid-calf in length, and must be professional in appearance and well-tailored. No loud patterns or colors. Inappropriate items include sweatpants, shorts, overalls, spandex, or any form fitting pants. Denim of any kind or color is also considered inappropriate.

Shirts
Mens shirts must have a collar. Women may wear professional blouses, or shirts with collars. Rugby, fleece or flannel shirts will be considered inappropriate. Dress sweaters and vests are acceptable. For men, dress sweaters should be worn with a collared shirt. Mock turtlenecks or soft collar, three button style polo or golf shirts are acceptable for men. For men, ties and sport coats are optional, but encouraged. Bulky ski-styled sweaters are inappropriate. T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, halter tops, shirts with large lettering or large logos and mid-riff tops are inappropriate.

Dresses and Skirts


Dresses and skirts are acceptable and may not be shorter than two inches above the knee. Miniskirts and spaghetti-strap dresses should not be worn in the office. Skorts are not suitable business casual attire. All denim material will be considered inappropriate.

Footwear
Leather business casual or dress shoes are expected. Hiking boots, tennis shoes, Birkenstocks, crocs, flip flops and sandals are considered inappropriate. Conservative professional open toe dress shoes are acceptable for female employees. Socks or hose/tights are recommended to be worn by all employees to project a professional image.

Other
Hats should not be worn at any time. Any visible body piercing jewelry, other than earrings, is inappropriate. The guidelines stated above were designed to help employees determine the appropriateness of their business casual attire. It is by no means an exhaustive list. It is important that our workplace be enjoyable and productive. Keep in mind, however, that employees should always project a professional image and compliance with client dress expectations is necessary for employees on client sites. If employees are not sure if something is acceptable, choose something else or inquire first.
