No employee may clock in/out for another employee. Failure to comply with this policy is
a serious violation of company policy and procedure and may result in termination without
prior warnings.
GRACE PERIOD
To encourage promptness and preparation for the workday employees may clock-in up
to 14 minutes earlier than the scheduled start of the shift. Time will be rolled down to the
scheduled shift time. Employees are not permitted to conduct any work-related activities
until the start of the scheduled shift. If approved by the supervisor and a business need
arrives, employees may begin work and will be compensated for that time. Employees
also will be given up to 14 minutes after the end of the scheduled shift to clock-out.
Overtime will be paid after this point and must be pre-approved by the supervisor.
MEAL PERIOD
YFAI provides a meal period during the course of each workday.
Supervisors/Managers are responsible for balancing work loads and scheduling the meal
period and should take into consideration the work load and the nature of the job
performed. Whenever necessary, the duration and time of meal periods may be changed.
Employees are allowed to leave YFAI premises during their meal period. You may not
leave early or extend the meal period beyond the assigned period. Employees will be
subject to attendance points if tardy when returning from their meal period.
A cafeteria area is provided for you to use during meal periods. No employee may
consume food or beverages (except water in container with secure lid) in production
areas. Employees on meal breaks should not interfere with other employees who are
continuing to work.
REST PERIODS
Hourly and nonexempt employees (those covered by the minimum wage and overtime
requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act) will receive a break.
Breaks may not be taken during the first (1) hour or last (1) hour of the work shift without
permission from the supervisor, and/or Manager.
Supervisor/Managers are responsible for scheduling the time for nonexempt hourly
employees’ rest breaks and will consider the work load and the nature of the job
performed. Whenever necessary, the frequency and time of rest periods may be
changed due to safety requirements.
