as part of your company trading policy, is it allowed to do option trading against your company stock while being an employee.
open window or black out period doesnt matter but can you option trade at all ??
any comments?

The moment you bring in Options, you can sell calls, buy puts or any other strategy that is equivalent to shorting. It is unethical to do so for the company you work for. How can you explain to your shareholders if they know that your company allows options trading to employees?
I'm sure they don't have a way of checking or enforcing their policy however...
