Santa’s Code of Conduct
To keep his workshop happy and humming, Santa needs to make sure his elves keep on the nice side, not the naughty one. He’s developed this official Code of Conduct for the North Pole to make sure everyone’s clear on how to do the right thing.

Workshop Values
We observe a Holly Jolly Policy, where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
No Discrimination: Elves will not be discriminated against based on height, and all reindeer are eligible to play in reindeer games. Also, nose color or glowing ability is not a factor in employment status.
Report Grinches: All Grinches suspected of improper accounting or auditing of toys must be reported immediately, without fear of retaliation.
Foods in the Workplace: Please stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Hannukah Gelt is welcome as a special treat. Eggnog is permitted at the North Pole workshop, but never imbibe before operating the big toy machine. Chestnuts must be roasted over open fires; no cutting corners with microwaves.

Toy Making Integrity
Non-Compete Claus: Cobbling for a competitor, such as the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Jack-o-Lantern, is discouraged. Frosty the Snowman is an official partner of Santa Claus, and as such, is not subject to the non-compete cobbling policy.
Report Non-Twinkling Lights: All employees are responsible for the proper use and upkeep of our physical resources, facilities and property. Please report any burnt out or defective twinkle lights.
Toy Distribution: Children’s wish lists must be in compliance with local import/export regulations. No candy-cane payoffs to export officials are allowed.
Unusual Gifting: Any gifts, including eggnog, fruitcake and candy canes of value over $50 should be reported. On delivery night, no additional cookies or milk will be accepted in exchange for larger toys.
