time, call the Restaurant and speak to the Manager on duty.
ATTENDANCE RECORDS
All non-exempt employees are given an employee ID number to clock in and out on the
Restaurant’s timekeeping system. You should clock in at the beginning of your shift and
each meal period, and clock out at the end of your shift and each meal period. You may
not work off-the-clock.
Tampering, altering, or falsifying time records or recording time on another employee’s
ID number is not allowed and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.
SCHEDULES
Schedules are prepared to meet the work demands of the Restaurant and in line with
appropriate work regulations. As work demands change, management reserves the
right to adjust working hours and shifts. Schedules are posted weekly by Thursday of
the preceding week. Each employee is responsible for working their assigned shifts.
You should arrive for your shift with enough time to make sure you are ready to work
when your shift begins. Employees must enter and exit through the front door during
business hours – not the back door.
Schedule changes may be allowed only if you find a replacement and get a manager’s
approval. To be valid, the manager must indicate and initial the change on the posted
schedule. The Restaurant usually requires high levels of staff on or around holidays,
sporting and other special events. We understand people will want time off and will
always try to find a way to work with you on your schedule requests. We do, however,
ask you to remember just how crucial each position is to the proper functioning of the
Restaurant. Please remember that even though we will try to comply with your
requests, there is no assurance that you will get the requested time off.
REST AND MEAL BREAKS
Non-exempt employees are entitled to a ten (10) minute rest period for every four (4)
hours worked each day. You will be paid for these rest periods and they will be counted
as hours worked. One rest period will be scheduled in the first half of your work day
(i.e., after approximately two hours in a four hour work period) and one in the second
half. Rest periods cannot be combined with each other or with meal periods and taken
all at once. Rest periods should be taken as close as possible to the middle of each 4-
