IV. WORK SCHEDULE
The community does not guarantee any specific hours of work per day, per week,
etc. The work schedule will be based on resident needs. Your supervisor will
advise you of the time your shift begins and ends.
Work schedules are normally posted at least one week in advance for your
convenience. In some cases, the Executive Director or your supervisor may
change the schedule and will notify you accordingly. All employees, as a matter of
practice, should check the work schedule for changes. Employees are not
permitted to exchange "off days" or change the work schedule without approval
from their supervisor. Requests for days off should be in writing and given to your
supervisor at least two (2) weeks prior to the posting of the work schedule.
Exchange requests for days off must be signed by both employees and given to the
supervisor for approval.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Employees may be employed elsewhere as long as they meet the performance
standards of their job with the Company. All employees will be judged by the
same performance standards and will be subject to the CompanyÊs scheduling
demands, regardless of any existing outside work requirements.
If the Company determines that an employeeÊs outside work interferes with
performance or the ability to meet the requirements of the Company, as they are
modified from time to time, the employee may be asked to terminate the outside
employment if he or she wishes to remain with the Company. Outside
employment that constitutes a conflict of interest is prohibited.
Employees may
not
contract to provide individual private duty services to
residents of the community.
MEAL PERIODS
Normally, unpaid meal periods are scheduled for one half-hour. Your meal
period will be assigned by your supervisor. Whether you leave or remain on the
premises during the meal period, you are required to clock out and clock in at
the beginning and end of your designated meal period.
Employees working a continuous 6 hours must take a 30-minute unpaid meal
break unless otherwise approved by your supervisor. Employees who work
during 3
rd
shift may leave their workstations, but are required to stay in the
building unless their supervisor approves otherwise.
If it becomes necessary for you to change or alter your assigned meal period,
you must notify your supervisor for approval. Also, if it becomes necessary for
you to return to work and interrupt your meal period, you are to take a full
uninterrupted meal period or be paid for the entire meal period. A missed
punch form must be completed by you and your supervisor if a meal break is
interrupted.
