BUSINESS POLICIES
Attendance Policy
Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled and on time. If it is impossible to
report for work on time, employees must call their manager before their starting time. If your
manager is unavailable, a text message should be left. If the absence is to continue beyond
the first day, the employee must notify their manager on a daily basis. Calling in is the
responsibility of every employee who is absent. Absence for three consecutive work days
without notifying the manager is considered a voluntary termination.
Leave of Absence
Employees are eligible to apply for an unpaid leave of absence if they have been a regular
employee of the Company for at least one year and scheduled to work 20 hours or more a
week. The employees manager will make a decision on the leave request. The request for
leave will be reviewed based on the reason for the request, previous attendance record,
previous leave requests and the impact the absence will have on the Company.
Authorized leaves for illness or disability begin after employees have exhausted accrued sick
leave, vacation and personal holiday time. A personal leave of absence, if granted, begins
after vacation and personal holiday time have been used.
Human Resources can provide employees with which benefits, in addition to retained
seniority, can be continued during the leave. If an employee wishes to continue benefits, it
must arranged for directly with Human Resources.
If the request for leave of absence for personal reasons, the employees manager, with the
advice of Human Resources, will decide whether the current position will be held open, or if a
position will be made available upon the employees return from leave.
Overtime
Non-exempt employees are eligible to receive overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours
in a given week. Holiday, vacation, and sick time are not included in hours used to determine
overtime eligibility. Overtime pay equals 1.5 times and employees regular hourly rate. All
overtime must be approved the manager in advance.
Vacation
All full-time employees are eligible for vacation pay.
New full-time employees will receive a pro-rata number of vacation days based on one day for
each month worked in the hired calendar year, not to exceed 10 days.
In the first full calendar year and through the calendar year in which the employees 3 year
anniversary of employment occurs, employees will receive 10 vacation days each year.
In the calendar year of the employees 4 year anniversary of employment, employees will
receive 15 vacation days each year.
In the calendar year of the employees 10 year anniversary of employment, employees will
receive 20 vacation days each year.
Up to 5 unused vacation days may be carried over into the next year. All other
unused vacation time will be paid out in the final paycheck for that year.
Employees should notify their manager at least one month in advance of taking vacation time.
All vacation requests are subject to manager approval. In addition, employees should directly
communicate vacation dates to co-workers to ensure customer needs are met.
Part-time employees who work on a regular schedule all year are eligible for vacation benefits
on a pro-rata basis based on the schedule above.
Termination
Employees who voluntarily resign from the Company are asked to provide at least two week
advance notice of their resignation. This notice should be in writing and should briefly state
the reason for leaving and the anticipated last day of work.
If a terminating employee is eligible for any incentive compensation, bonus, and/or awards,
they must be actively employed on the date the compensation, bonus or awards are
presented or paid, in order to receive the compensation, bonus or award.
Payday
Payroll weeks begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. Employees are paid weekly on following
Friday. If you turn time cards in late, you will be delayed in receiving your paycheck.
Pay Advances
Pay advances are not generally given.
Payroll Deductions
Payroll deductions are made from each paycheck to comply with federal and state laws and
certain benefits. Deductions will be made for:
Federal and State Income Tax

At the beginning of each year you will be supplied with a W-2 which summarizes your income
