business, a reduced work schedule will not be allowed in some departments because business necessity will preclude the success of a reduced schedule.
The continuation of the Policy on Reduced Work Schedules is at the Company’s sole discretion and the program can be terminated at any time with two weeks’ notice.
HOURS OF WORK
Our customers demand fresh bakery products as do the consumers that purchase our products in grocery stores or through foodservice channels. Think about it… would you buy a stale bakery product? Companies that sell stale, low-quality bakery products never stay in business long and can’t provide their employees with job security. For that reason, the Company is forced to operate our business outside the normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday work schedule. We also work on holidays. Again, the reason we must do this is simple: Our jobs depend upon the freshness and availability of our products! Your specific working hours will depend upon the work schedules of your department. The department supervisor creates & communicates the work schedule to all employees. Your supervisor will explain how breaks, including lunch, are provided. Breaks are scheduled according to the number of hours worked and are not deducted from time worked. Seasonal or market fluctuations may cause variations in employees’ workloads. We offer overtime to individuals voluntarily on an as-needed basis. In rare circumstances, if no one voluntarily chooses to work overtime, it will be necessary to assign overtime to employees to get the job done. Whenever overtime is anticipated, every effort is made to provide advanced notice. For Mandatory overtime shifts per Oregon law, DKB will provide at least five days’ advance notice (including the date and time of the over time shift). Every reasonable effort will be made to distribute overtime as equitably as possible among all employees.
All hours worked over 10 in a day or 40 in a workweek by employees of manufacturing establishments are overtime hours. Employees will be paid the greater of the two.
TIMECARDS / TIME SHEETS
The federal wage and hour laws require accurate record keeping of work time and pay. Your ID badge or timecard records your work time, assuring you of proper payment for the correct amount of time worked. Since this is your only proof, you must record your time accurately. Your supervisor will explain how to record your time properly. Time clock and timesheet data are legal records of hours worked, and your paycheck is based on those records. All non-exempt partners (hourly and salaried/non-exempt) are required to accurately report their work time by clocking in and out on the time clock on a daily basis. Work time should be reported from the start of your workday, in and out for meal periods, and out at the end of the workday. We do not allow hourly or non- exempt partners to work “off the clock” for any reason. Once a partner clocks in at the beginning of their shift or after lunch, work is to commence immediately. For partners who are required to wear uniforms, a maximum of 10 minutes of paid time is provided to change into uniforms, and a maximum of 5 minutes of paid time is provided to change out of uniforms during each shift. You are expected to be in your work area at your scheduled start time.
All changes and corrections must be made on the Change Form and approved by your supervisor with his/her signature. You are responsible for clocking in and out for yourself. Clocking in or out for another
