ORIENTATION AND TRAINING
To help you become familiar with the Company and our way of doing things, the
Company will provide an orientation and training session within the first few days after
you begin work. Some of the content of the session will depend in large part on the
nature of your responsibilities, while other parts will be applicable to all employees. In
addition, the Company may periodically offer additional training or educational
programs. Some programs may be voluntary, while others will be required.

IMMIGRATION LAW APPLICABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES
The Company complies with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 by
employing only U.S. citizens and non-citizens who are authorized to work in the United
States. All employees are asked on their first day of work to provide original documents
verifying the right to work in the United States and to sign a verification form required
by federal law (Form I-9). If you cannot verify your right to work in the United States
within three (3) days of hire, the Company is required by law to terminate your
employment.

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
Employees are hired to perform important functions at Big River. As with any group
effort, operating effectively takes cooperation and commitment from everyone.
Therefore, attendance and punctuality are very important. Unnecessary absences
and lateness are expensive, disruptive and place an unfair burden on fellow
employees and Supervisors. We expect excellent attendance from all employees.
Excessive absenteeism or tardiness will result in disciplinary action up to and including
discharge.

We do recognize, however, there are times when absences and tardiness cannot be
avoided. In such cases, employees are expected to notify Supervisors as early as
possible, but no later than one hour prior to your scheduled shift. In the event your
immediate supervisor is unavailable, you must speak with a manager. If you must leave
a voicemail, you must provide a number where your supervisor may reach you if need
be. Asking another employee, friend or relative to give this notice is improper and
constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Employees should call, stating the nature of
the illness and its expected duration, for every day of absenteeism.

You are expected to be at your workstation at the beginning of each business day. If
you are delayed, you must call your immediate supervisor to state the reason for the
delay. As with absences, you must make every effort to speak directly to your
supervisor and/or the department manager. Regular delays in reporting to work will
result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
