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. 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. 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. CONFLICT OF INTEREST MEAL PERIODS
