hour work period.  Your supervisor will advise you of the time of your rest periods.  You
               should not—and need not—perform any work during your rest period.  Though you may
               leave the premises during your rest period, you are expected to return to work promptly
               at the end of any rest period.  If your work schedule prevents you from taking your full
               rest period within the  time periods set  forth above, you  must  immediately notify your
               supervisor.  Otherwise, you are responsible for taking your rest period at the appropriate
               time and for the appropriate length of time.

               If you are a non-exempt employee who works six or more hours in any workday, you
               are entitled to take a minimum of a thirty (30) minute unpaid meal period.  Meal periods
               should begin no less than the second hour and no later than the end of the fifth hour of
               work.   You must clock out and clock back in at the beginning and end of each meal
               period.   You should not—and  need not—perform  any work during your meal
               period.  You may  not take on-duty meal  periods without prior  authorization  from your
               manager or supervisor.   You may leave the premises during your meal  period.  It is
               important that you return to work promptly at the end of your meal period.  If you think
               your work schedule prevents you from taking your full meal period within the time period
               set forth above, you must immediately notify your supervisor.

               Employees who work six (6) hours or less in a workday may waive their meal period
               with the written consent of their manager or supervisor.  Employees who work in excess
               of eight (8) hours in a workday may be entitled to additional meal and rest periods as
               required by applicable state and federal law.

               OVERTIME


               The nature  of our business sometimes requires that our  employees work overtime.
               Your manager will notify you when you are required to work overtime.  We expect and
               will appreciate your cooperation.  We will try to provide you with advance notice of any
               overtime that will be required of you.

               If you are a non-exempt employee, you will be paid in accordance with state and federal
               overtime requirements.  For all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours in one day or
               forty (40) hours in one week, or for the first eight (8) hours on the seventh workday in a
               workweek, you will be paid overtime at the rate of one and one-half times your regular
               rate of pay.  You will be paid double-time (i.e., overtime at the rate of twice your regular
               rate of pay) for hours worked in excess of twelve (12) in any workday or in excess of
               eight (8) hours on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.  There may be
               exceptions to these standards where allowed by law.
               Please remember that you are not allowed to work overtime unless your manager has
               authorized it in  advance.  He or she will approve your overtime  hours  on your  time
               record.  If you work overtime without permission, you will be paid for the overtime work,
