To operate smoothly, a restaurant depends on its employees. Therefore, employees must be on time for all scheduled shifts. Employees must be prepared to begin their shift upon arrival. They are also expected to work until the end of their scheduled shift. Employees must take scheduled breaks. Breaks are 15 minutes or 30 minutes, based on shift length.

Management allows for emergency personal time. Emergency time may be used for illness, accidents, appointments, or family needs. In case of emergency, please follow this process:

Call the restaurant to inform your manager of the emergency.
Tell your manager when you will be absent from restaurant duties and when you can resume work.
Remember that excessive absenteeism and tardiness will result in disciplinary action.
