ATTIRE AND GROOMING
It is important for all employees to project a professional image while at work by being
appropriately attired. Big River employees are expected to be neat, clean and well
groomed while on the job. Clothing must be consistent with the standards for a
business environment and must be appropriate to the type of work being performed.
All employees must be covered from shoulders to knees at all times (no see-through or
sleeveless clothing is permitted at any time). Natural and artificial scents may become
a distraction from a well-functioning workplace and are also subject to this policy. Big
River is confident that employees will use their best judgment regarding attire and
appearance. Management reserves the right to determine appropriateness. Any
employee who is improperly dressed will be counseled or in severe cases may be sent
home to change clothes. Continued disregard of this policy may be cause for
disciplinary action, which may result in termination.
PROMOTIONS AND TRANSFERS
In an effort to match you with the job for which you are most suited and/or to meet
the business and operational needs of the Company, you may be transferred from
your current job. This may be either at your request or as a result of a decision by the
Company.
Reasons for transfer may include, but are not necessarily limited to, fluctuations in
department workloads or production flow; a desire for more efficient utilization of
personnel; increased career opportunities; personality conflicts; health; other personal
situations; or other business reasons.
Most job openings that are intended to be filled from within the Company will be
posted. The Company does reserve the right, however, to transfer or promote an
employee without posting the availability of that position. Temporary transfers may be
made at the discretion of the management.
ANNIVERSARY DATES
A regular full-time employee's anniversary date is the date they began work. For an
employee who was hired part-time and later becomes regular full-time, the date the
employee became part-time is the employee's anniversary date.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
When the clock is reset for daylight savings time, hourly and non-exempt salaried
personnel working during that time will be paid for actual hours worked. In the spring,
employees will not be paid for the one hour that the clock is moved ahead. When the
clock is set back in the fall, the employees will be paid for the extra hour worked.
