Non-Compete Policy

Upholding Professional Boundaries & Ethics

 

Professional Ethics

By visiting or website and/or engaging in communications with our team, you acknowledge and accept the terms outlined in Pinellas Computers Non-Compete Policy. If you find yourself unable to agree with these terms, we respectfully ask that you refrain from working with our people. This policy is fundamental to the way we operate, aimed at protecting our business and maintaining the trust and privacy of our clients and employees alike.

We operate under a strict code of conduct to ensure a fair and ethical work environment. This includes a clear stance against any form of competition that could undermine our business operations or the loyalty of our team members. Your engagement with our services signifies your understanding and acceptance of these practices; designed to safeguard the professional integrity of our employees, and the quality of service provided to our customers.

 

Commitment to Professional Integrity

At Pinellas Computers, our dedication to providing exceptional tech support, computer repair, data recovery, and networking services is paralleled by our commitment to maintaining professional ethics and integrity. We have observed a concerning trend where individuals solicit personal services from our employees during their off-hours. This practice not only undermines our investment in our team's development but also encroaches upon our employees' personal time and freedom. We strongly discourage this behavior, as it conflicts with our company's values and the respect we owe to each other as professionals and community members.

Unauthorized Solicitation for Hire

To protect our company's interests and the trust we've built with our clients, Pinellas Computers strictly enforces a Non-Compete policy. This policy prohibits any form of unauthorized work for personal gain, including but not limited to engaging with competing entities or performing unrecorded work for profit. Such actions are considered "customer poaching" and are akin to theft, bearing severe consequences including immediate termination. Our policy is clear: while employed with us, the focus of our team members should remain solely on contributing to our shared success.

Guidelines for Handling Off-the-Books Requests

In line with our Non-Compete policy, we advise our employees on the proper way to handle unsolicited requests for services outside of official channels. We are committed to transparency and open communication regarding our operational policies. This policy serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct and respect for one another's boundaries. Our employees are encouraged to:

  • Use Official Communication Channels: Direct any professional inquiries through company-approved communication methods.

  • Educate on Proper Procedures: When approached for off-the-books services, politely inform the requester about our policies and direct them to our official support channels.

  • Protect Personal Time: Maintain a clear boundary between work and personal life to avoid any potential conflicts of interest or perceptions of impropriety.
