Training

Your department manager will go over all material given to you and train you extensively on your job expectations.
This will include, but is not limited to checklists, department training documents, training shifts, and co-worker
support. You will be responsible for reading and learning all material given to you upon hire. The length of your
training depends heavily on the position for which you are training, the schedule you and your supervisor have
worked out, and your overall commitment.
Your manager will conduct a 90-day review (from your start date) to assess where additional training is needed.
Based on your start date, annual reviews will take place. Take this time with your department manager to discuss
any concerns you have with your position. The review process is a crucial part of our continual training and
communication process.

In addition to the formal training process and reviews, the company occasionally conducts programs designed to
provide new skills or enhance existing skills. These programs are provided for management, and for individuals who
consistently demonstrate a leadership capacity in the workplace and express an interest in career advancement.
Your supervisor can tell you which programs are most applicable to you, and the General Manager will be able to
answer inquiries about additional training programs.
Introductory Period

The first ninety (90) days of your employment are considered an introductory period. This period is established to
benefit both the employee and the company. It is a period for getting to know your fellow employees, your manager,
and the tasks involved in your job position, as well as becoming familiar with the company’s expectations. Your
manager will work closely with you to help you understand the needs and processes of your job. This introductory
period is important to you and us because we can evaluate your abilities and aptitude for the position. You are
not hired for a set period of time, and continued employment depends on job performance and on the amount
and kind of work required of you. The company may terminate your employment at any time during or after the
introductory period.
Performance/Job Requirements and Evaluations

Management works closely with all employees to help them perform to the best of their abilities. Performance
evaluations are one basis for management decisions, including continued employment, training, promotion, salary
increases, and termination. A good performance evaluation does not guarantee a pay raise, nor is it a promise of
continued employment. Guidance and feedback will be provided throughout the course of your work. Within your
introductory period, you will receive a 90-day review to let you know how well you are meeting the requirements of
your job and thereafter on an annual basis. If you are given increased responsibilities or a new position, a 90-day
review will again be provided and thereafter on an annual basis from the change in responsibilities or position.

Raises
Raises are determined based on a variety of factors in the company’s sole discretion, but are typically the result of
positive performance appraisals and/or increased responsibilities. Employees with gratuity-based positions are not
typically eligible for annual raises. Assessment for a raise will coincide with your annual performance review. If you
receive a raise due to increased responsibilities, your next assessment for a raise will be scheduled a year from that
point, coinciding with your annual review. It is important to realize that raises may not occur, particularly if adverse
economic or financial conditions exist.
