Daily Time Policies

Daily Time Policies


The following represents our current employee policies. Failure to follow these policies is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination. 

Promptness


Employees are to arrive on time, unless there is an emergency or other exceptional circumstance. This is expected to be a rare occurrence. 


Internal Staff Work Hours


When entering your work hours for the week in the time entry software, make sure the hours reflect when you actually get in and leave. If you are late (something which should not happen often) even by a few minutes, please enter the actual time of day that you arrived and left. Even if you stay later than your normal time in order to make up for that lateness, please enter your actual start and end times, not the times you are supposed to arrive and leave, even if the number of hours is identical. So if you arrive at 10:34 AM, you should enter 10:34 AM as your start time, not 10:15 AM or 10:30 AM. (This is just an example.)


Alert
Please don't be late. We're a small staff and lateness impacts everyone else on the team, as well as our customers. 


Time Off


All absence requests for regularly scheduled work times must be submitted at least two weeks in advance

The only exception to this policy is in the event of an emergency. An emergency is defined as a situation that cannot be predicted and involves illness, death, fire, theft, or some other situation on that level of dire need.

Please note that, even if you provide two weeks’ notice, management reserves the right to deny time-off requests based on workload or the needs of other personnel. 

 

Lunch Breaks


If you are working at least a five-hour day, you are entitled to a paid 15-minute break. If you take more than 15 minutes, this time will be unpaid and it must be entered as time off when you enter your hours. 

Send a Slack message to the #all_ggit channel when you take a break, so we know you won’t be available. Slack the team when you return. 

If you are working less than 5 hours in one day, please record any breaks for that day in your time sheet as unpaid breaks. 


Weekly Time Sheets

Time cards must be submitted by Tuesday noon for the previous week. If they are not, your payroll may be delayed. If you do not meet this deadline, you may have to wait until the following week’s payroll run to receive your paycheck.
