WAGE INFORMATION
Each pay period consists of two weeks. Each pay period begins on a Sunday and ends
two weeks later on a Saturday. Paychecks are mailed or direct deposited on the
Friday following the end of each pay period. Employees should refrain from
requesting an early paycheck or an advance on their paycheck.
PROCESS DEPARTMENT NIGHT SHIFT PREMIUM POLICY
This policy applies to all non-exempt employees assigned to the Process Department
at Big River. Night shift refers to the designated and scheduled overnight hours of the
Process team at each site. Employees assigned to work during the night shift schedule
will receive a premium rate of $3 per hour in addition to their regular hourly wage for
hours worked during the scheduled night shift. Hours worked outside of the
designated night shift are paid at regular applicable wages.
Employees will receive the night shift premium of $3 per hour for all hours worked
during the designated night shift schedule. Hours worked beyond the standard 40
hours per workweek will be compensated at a rate of 1.5 times the employee's regular
hourly wage, including the night shift premium.
Employees are required to accurately record their hours worked, including night shift
hours, through the designated timekeeping system. This premium is only available to
employees within the Process Department.
PAYDAY
All employees will be paid biweekly on Friday for the period which has ended on the
previous Saturday. When payday falls on a holiday, you normally will be paid on the
last working day before the holiday.
If you have elected a paper check in lieu of direct deposit, paychecks will be
distributed by your supervisor. Improper pay deductions are strictly prohibited.
Please bring errors or improper deductions to our attention immediately, either
through your supervisor or to Human Resources. You will be reimbursed for any
improper deductions.
If you are on vacation or going to be away from work, it is not a practice to hand out
paychecks early. So that you do not experience a delay in receiving your paycheck
due to time away from work or mail delivery, you are encouraged to participate in
the direct deposit service that Employer offers. Direct deposit is provided as a benefit
to you at no cost.
