GreenPoint Ag Employee Handbook

Attendance
To assist with providing great service to our customers and serving as a reliable team member, you are
expected to be punctual, reporting for work on time and as scheduled.
Notification
If you cannot come to work or will be late for any reason, notify your manager as soon as you are aware
that you will be late or unable to report to work. Leaving a voicemail or message with another staff
member may create confusion, so it will not be considered as notification for your manager.

Unplanned absences can disrupt work, inconvenience other employees, and affect productivity.
Employees with a poor attendance record or excessive lateness may be subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including termination of employment.

You are responsible for managing your Paid Leave balance. All absences where you do not have available
paid time and have not been granted an approved leave of absence will be considered unexcused,
regardless of the reason given.

If an employee is absent without notifying his/her manager for three (3) consecutively scheduled
workdays, the employee will be terminated for voluntary job abandonment.

Scheduling
The normal workweek is 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Hourly and non-exempt employees
will need to clock out and then back in for lunch breaks.

Managers will determine actual schedules based primarily on customer support needs, but with
consideration of employee scheduling needs as well.

Employee Conduct
GreenPoint Ag expects you to conduct yourselves in ways that protect the interests and safety of all
employees and the company. In most instances, your own good judgment will ensure you will do the
right thing.

Any employee conduct that violates GreenPoint Ag policies or that, in the opinion of GreenPoint Ag,
interferes with, or adversely affects, our company’s mission or reputation is sufficient grounds for
disciplinary action.
While it is impossible to list every behavior that is considered unacceptable in the workplace, the
following are examples of infractions or conduct which may result in disciplinary action including
suspension, demotion, or termination of employment.

Examples of prohibited conduct include:

• Failure to comply with any GreenPoint Ag policies and procedures;
• Failure to be honest in transactions with GreenPoint Ag, our customers, coworkers, managers,
or GreenPoint Ag contractors or vendors;
• Sexual or other unlawful harassment or harassment of any kind;
• Fighting or threatening violence in the workplace;
