HR on Tap Application and Agreement

HR on Tap Membership Application and Agreement

This document outlines the expectations and commitments for all members of the HR on

Tap community. By joining, members agree to adhere to the principles below, ensuring a

focused, confidential, and professional environment dedicated to HR excellence.

1. Statement of Purpose & Core Value

HR on Tap is a dynamic, monthly ecosystem designed for business leaders and their

designated teams (including business owners, office managers, and "accidental HR

managers") who are actively responsible for HR functions.

Our mission is to move members from a place of uncertainty and risk to one of clarity,

confidence, and expert guidance regarding the modern regulatory landscape, employee

retention, and culture building.

Core Focus: Navigating HR complexities, including compliance with looming legislative

shifts (e.g., Minimum Wage changes, Worker Classification, Pay Transparency, Paid Leave

Expansion).

Method: A structured, monthly collaborative group led by an HR Expert (Lisa O'Connor).

Result: Building a thriving culture, driving increased employee retention, and mitigating

organizational risk.

2. Membership Commitment & Conduct

A. Professional Responsibility & Confidentiality

Information Sharing and Liability: Members understand that the information and expert

guidance shared within HR on Tap is advisory and informational only. It is intended to

increase clarity and confidence but does not constitute professional legal or financial

advice. The leadership, the HR Expert, Crystel Clear Business Strategies, and it’s affiliates

are not liable for any actions, decisions, or outcomes resulting from the use of this

information. Members cannot hold the HR on Tap leadership or the HR Expert, Crystel

Clear Business Strategies, or any of it’s affiliates legally responsible for compliance or

operational decisions made within their own organizations. Members must consult with

their own legal counsel, accountants, or specialized advisors for specific legal

interpretations, compliance verification, or formal professional advice.

Confidentiality: All members commit to maintaining the strict confidentiality of any

business-specific challenges, sensitive employee issues, or proprietary processes shared

by other members during meetings.

Professionalism: Members will engage with the HR Expert and peers in a respectful,

constructive, and professional manner at all times.

B. Active Participation & Engagement

Attendance: Members commit to making a good-faith effort to attend the monthly

collaborative meetings. Consistent presence is crucial for staying current on regulatory

changes and maximizing the benefit of the ecosystem.

Collaboration: This is not a passive lecture series. Members are expected to actively

contribute, share relevant experiences, and engage in the discussions to help find

solutions for others and for themselves.

Implementation: Members commit to taking the clarity and expert guidance gained from

the group and actively applying it within their organizations to drive change.

3. Operational Terms

Eligibility: Membership is designated for business leaders and their team members who

actively wear the HR hat for their organization.

Membership Cap: The group is limited to ensure a high-quality, intimate, and focused

collaborative experience.

Group Leadership: The HR Expert and leadership reserve the right to address any violation

of this agreement or conduct that disrupts the group's professional and collaborative

environment.

GENGERAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

This Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on date indicated below, by and

between Crystel Clear Business Strategies and the undersigned (You), (“Member”).

WHEREAS, Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) has developed or owns intellectual property (including, but not limited to, software, databases, data and systems), financial, technical, operational, marketing, administrative and/or business information, process and procedures that it deems confidential and/or proprietary, the unauthorized usage or disclosure of which could be detrimental to its business interests;

2. Member will treat Proprietary Information disclosed by Company and it’s members of the group as confidential and will safeguard it in the same manner that Member treats its own Proprietary Information of like kind, but will use no less than a reasonable degree of care. Member will only use such Proprietary Information solely in connection with the purposes for which it was disclosed hereunder, and will not disclose, distribute, or

disseminate Proprietary Information in any way, to anyone except as provided in this Agreement. Upon discovery by Member of any unauthorized use or disclosure, said party shall notify Company and shall endeavor to prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure.

4. Proprietary Information of Company shall be treated as confidential and safeguarded by Member for a period of five (5) years after disclosure, unless Proprietary Information is:

(a) generally available to the public, through no fault of Member or its employees and without breach of this Agreement; or

(b) already in the possession of Member without restriction and prior to any disclosure hereunder; or

(c) developed independently by employees of Member without breach of this Agreement; or

(d) approved in writing for release or disclosure without restriction by Company.

5. Member specifically acknowledges and agrees that it may be exposed to Proprietary Information, whether Company's or a third party's, that Company did not intend to disclose and/or that Company did not intend to receive, merely as a result of Member’s contact with Company’s premises or employees. If, in the course and scope of its contact with Company, Member inadvertently receives any such Proprietary Information,

Member will protect such Proprietary Information from any further disclosure and will not use such Proprietary Information in any way and will return such Information to Company immediately upon its discovery.

6. Member will maintain in force policies that require it to treat and maintain Company’s Proprietary Information in a confidential manner.

7. This Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely.

8. Member will return to Company, or at Company’s request, destroy any and all Proprietary Information immediately upon Company’s written request, except for one copy may be retained by the Member’s legal department for the sole purpose of responding to any claims hereunder.

9. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither party shall disclose the existence or the nature of the discussions between the parties relating to any Proprietary Information without the prior written authorization of the other party.

10. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement by Member will cause Company irreparable harm, and further acknowledges and agrees that Company is entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent breach or to halt a further or continuing breach. Each party also acknowledges and agrees that such remedy is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy Company may have at law or in equity.

11. This Agreement and all obligations and rights arising hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and its provisions may be modified, amended or waived only by written agreement of the parties.

Both parties acknowledge that they have read this Agreement, understand it and agree to be

bound by its terms and further agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement

of the agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, which supersedes

all proposals, and all other communications, regardless of the form thereof, between the parties
