VF Associate Discount – US & Canada Based Associates Only

Purpose: This policy provides an opportunity for associates to purchase VF brand merchandise at a discount and sets guidelines for making an associate purchase both in stores and online at various brand e-commerce sites. For the online discount, this policy applies to the United States & Canada only. For the in-store discount, this policy applies to all VF associates globally shopping in the United States and Canada.

Eligibility: For the online discount, all regular USA/Canadian full-time and part-time VF associates are eligible for this program immediately upon their hire date. This includes USA EXPAT associates and excludes temporary (seasonal) associates. Contingent workers are not eligible for the VF Associate Discount under this policy. For the in-store discount, all global regular and temporary (seasonal) full-time and part-time associates are eligible for this program in VF owned retail stores in the USA and Canada immediately upon their hire date. Contract (contingent) associates are excluded from participating in the program.

Associates cease to be eligible for this program effective the day he/she is no longer employed with VF. The benefit is limited to the individual associate for his/her personal use and/or gift-giving. When paying with a credit card, debit card or check, the name on the card or check must match the name of the associate or an authorized user on the account.

Accessing the Discount in Our Retail Stores

This process applies only to VF-owned retail stores in the USA and Canada. The discount policy in other regions may vary. To receive the discount, the associate must verify their identity and validate their current employment status. VF associates visiting or traveling in the USA and Canada are authorized to receive the VF Associates Discount in-store only.

1. Verify Identity: To verify identity, present a valid photo ID (Driver’s License, State ID, Passport, School ID with photo or VF/Brand ID with photo).

2. Validate Current Employment Status:

a. The preferred method for validating current employment is for the associate to show their Workday profile on their smartphone to the store associate ringing the transaction. This can be done by using the Workday phone app or by using your phone's browser and going to

https://wd5.myworkday.com/vfc/d/home.htmld (Single Sign-On Users), or

https://wd5.myworkday.com/vfc/login.htmld(Non-Single Sign-On Users).

b. For associates without a smartphone: Associate may present a print-out of the most current paycheck stub. The associate may redact any personal information they wish to remain confidential, but the store must be able to validate the associate's name, Employee ID, and the pay date and pay period of the stub presented.

c. Those associates who do not have a smartphone or access to a printer may request that the store look up their Workday profile in-store. This should only be requested if neither option (a) or (b) above are possible for the associate. Any store associate in the store may use the in-store PC to search the associate number in Workday to verify employment (it does not have to be a manager). External customers take precedence over associate purchases and when the store is busy, the store may not be able to accommodate this request. This option will be accepted if business permits. All associates shopping in-store should make every effort to use option (a) or (b) above to validate their current employment status.

In-Store Purchase Procedures
