Second Image will honor the employee's judgment on employee's fitness to work; however the Employer reserves the right to request a doctor's excuse or other reasonable proof if it is deemed appropriate.

premiums. Check with management for enrollment procedures.

Payroll The Payroll period is two weeks, ending on Sunday. Checks will be issued on the following Friday. If payday falls on a holiday, you will be notified when to pick up your check.

Overtime The manager must approve all overtime before being worked. Overtime pay, in accordance with Florida State laws, occurs after 40 hours have been worked during a seven-day period. More than eight hours of work during a single day does not qualify as overtime unless over 40 hours have been accumulated during the preceding work week. Due to our two-week pay period, overtime will automatically occur after 40 hours worked during each 7-day Monday to Sunday period per paycheck.

Advances

No money will be advanced or loaned.

Termination When management for any reason terminates you, your paycheck will be issued at the end of the pay period. If you resign after giving adequate notice, you are eligible for rehire at the discretion of management. If there is no notice given, you will not be considered for re-hire. You will not receive your last paycheck until payday.

Late /Absences You must be prepared to start work on time. Eating, putting away coats, purses, going to the restroom, are done before clocking in. For the store to run smoothly, all employees must show up for work on time, as scheduled. It is unfair to other employees if you do not come to work. You yourself must call as soon as possible if you are going to be late or absent for any reason. An employee who is late three (3) times in a month will be subject to termination. Exceptions will be made in emergency situations only.

Breaks and Lunch You will receive two 15-minute break periods (you must work for 2 hours before taking a break) during an 8-hour shift. You will punch out for a one-half hour lunch break. If you are part-time, check with your supervisor for a break and lunch schedule.

Timecards You must be sure to clock in and out. You are paid from a time card. Don't forget to use it. Once you are on the computerized time clock, make sure you see “Clockin (or) Clock-out Successful”

Dress Code Good taste and common sense shall prevail in appearance, clothing and behavior. All employees are expected to dress in a manner that is appropriate to your department. Excessively short shorts, halter-tops or low-cut tops are considered inappropriate in any department. Check with your supervisor. Long earrings, open toed shoes, thongs, and high heels are a hazard in the work area and are not to be worn. Rubber sole shoes are recommended for comfort.
