4.1 PROBATIONARY PERIOD - Industrial Painting And Commercial Painting
The first 30 (thirty) days worked, are considered probationary. This gives
us the opportunity to observe your job performance and enables you to
better understand our work standards and expectation. The completion of
the probationary period should not in any manner be construed as any guarantee
of future employment, nor should the same be construed to grant any additional
rights to the employee.
4.2 TRAINING
We view training as an on-going process, which benefits both the employee
and the Company in terms of growth potential. On the job training (OJT)
ensures learning the best methods of performing job responsibilities as
well as learning new skills.
At Industrial Painter .com management strives to work closely with employees so they can learn
to perform their job functions effectively, understand the interrelated
objectives of different aspects of the department, and get an overview
of the department. Every effort is made to train each employee to do his
job properly and with confidence through the experience of the supervisor,
fellow employees, and that of the individual employee as well. We aim
to maximize the product quality, workmanship, and customer service while
minimizing operating inefficiencies.
There may
be times when you legitimately feel that you have been "thrown to the
wolves" so to speak. While we can try to cover the basics, we cannot anticipate
every potential situation. If you are uncertain in a job situation, you
should use common sense, hard work, service the customer as best you possibly
can and ask a supervisor for additional guidance when you can. Please
be attentive, ask questions and try to learn everything you can about
performing your job better.
4.3 WORK HOURS
The company has the right to expect that employees will be present; ready
for work, when and where they are assigned.
4.4 WORK SCHEDULES
Our business requires us to work many times when other people are not,
such as nights and weekends, some holidays. We must continually adjust
our scheduling procedures to ensure that the needs of our customers are
being serviced properly and efficiently.
You are expected
to make any and all arrangements necessary to get yourself to work on
time as scheduled. Be aware that starting times are almost always definite,
ending times are estimated by the supervisor. Depending upon the job,
the workflow, and the finish date, you may be asked to stay longer or
you may get out early. If for any reason you are unable to work you shift,
it is your responsibility to inform your supervisor immediately.
Industrial Painter .com will try when possible to arrange work schedules that are convenient
to the employee's and to the company. However, you must realize that the
company's needs, not the employee's desires must come first in deciding
what work schedules will be posted.
Discuss
both days and hours available with your immediate supervisor. The supervisor
must have a clear definition of your needs to best develop a schedule
that works for you. But again, the supervisor cannot guarantee a fixed
schedule during your employment with Industrial Painter .com, Inc., because
our business volume fluctuates. Our business requires a flexible schedule.
You will be required to work weekends, evenings, and holidays. Nothing
is inferred regarding the guarantee of 40 hours and/or over-time. The
company reserves the right to adjust schedules to the needs of the projects.
4.5 SCHEDULING CRITERIA
Industrial Painter .com, believes in scheduling its most productive, loyal,
dedicated and cooperative employees first. The people who work the hardest
for the company are the ones who deserve the most hours. Full-time and
permanent employees will always get the first chance at hours. Ability
and willingness to work less popular shifts is also important. When possible,
we generally try to balance out the available hours among employees. Seniority
is somewhat of a secondary consideration. If it is difficult to differentiate
different levels of performance, then seniority would play more of a role.
Overall, if you are looking for more hours, the best course of action
for you to take is to put a little extra effort into your job performance.
Overtime, this extra effort will be noticed.
