Personal days should be used for doctor appointments, personal absences, personal
illness, illness of a minor child, family emergencies, etc. Personal days must be used
within the calendar year in which they are granted. Employees are required to speak
directly with the appropriate Supervisor/Manager to request a Personal Day. Personal
days should be scheduled and approved in advance when possible, however, the call-in
procedures would apply when notice is less than twenty four (24) hours.
Personal days cannot be used the day before or the day after a company paid holiday.
Personal days may also be “blocked” on certain days to support production continuity.
When this occurs, prior notice will be given.
Personal days taken as outlined above are considered excused absences and do not
count against the associate’s attendance record.
EMPLOYEE BADGES
Controlling access to our facility helps to ensure a secure environment for our
employees and protection of proprietary product information. Identification badges are
used to accomplish this objective. At the time of employment, every employee in the
facility will receive an identification badge. Badges should be on your person at all
times. Employees should report misplaced badges to Human Resources immediately.
There is a $5.00 replacement fee for lost badges.
DRESS CODE AND APPEARANCE POLICY
Appropriate dress and personal appearance will contribute to a safe and customer
oriented work environment. Personal hygiene, neatness, and cleanliness are important
to those who work closely with you. A "common-sense" approach to hygiene and
appearance will contribute to a successful team-oriented work environment. It is also
important that all employees’ health and safety on the job be protected from
unreasonable risks concerning dress and appearance in the work environment.
The Fountain Inn facility standard dress code is YFAI logoed attire which is provided to
our employees upon hire. Additional apparel can be ordered at the employee’s
expense.
Employees working in an office environment for the majority of their worktime and/or
who may have frequent contact with customers and/or external vendors, must adhere to
a business casual dresscode, including collared, YFAI logoed shirts and pants (non-
denim).
YFAI issued and or purchased uniform apparel may not be modified and/or altered
without prior authorization.
