If employees believe they are impeded from taking their meal and rest periods, they must notify their
supervisor or Human Resources immediately so the matter may be properly addressed. Failure to comply
with this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action.
OVERTIME
The Company pays overtime to non-exempt employees at time and one-half for hours worked in excess of
eight (8) hours per day or more than forty (40) hours per week, or during the first eight (8) hours on the
seventh consecutive day worked in a work week, and double time for hours worked after 12 hours in one
day or after eight (8) hours on the seventh consecutive day worked in the work week. Overtime is a
requirement of employment when necessary.
During the first six (6) days of the special project, when an employee is assigned a 12 hour shift and
waives the second meal period, the employee will be paid eight (8) hours of straight-time, three and a half
(3.5) hours of overtime and one (1) hour of pay at the employee’s regular rate of compensation.
Alternatively, if the employee does not waive the second meal period, the employee will be paid eight (8)
hours of straight time and three (3) hours of overtime.
During the seventh (7th) day of the project, when an employee is assigned a 12 hour shift and waives the
second meal period, the employee will be paid eight (8) hours of overtime, three and a half (3.5) hours of
double-time, and one (1) hour of pay at the employee’s regular rate of compensation. Alternatively, if the
employee does not waive the second meal period, the employee will be paid eight (8) hours of overtime
and three (3) hours of double-time.
SECOND MEAL PERIOD WAIVER
As stated above, the Company requires that employees be provided a thirty (30) minute off duty meal
period whenever their work period exceeds five (5) hours in a work day. Company policy also entitles
employees to a second thirty (30) minute off duty meal period whenever their work period exceeds ten
(10) hours in a work day unless by mutual consent the Company and employee agree to waive the second
meal period.
By checking the box, I affirm my agreement to voluntarily waive my second 30 minute
off duty meal period in those circumstances in which I work more than ten (10) hours in a work
shift but my total work period for that work day does not exceed 12 hours. I understand that I
may waive this second meal period only if I took my first meal period during this work day.
I further understand, I will be paid one (1) hour of pay at my regular rate of compensation for each day
that I waive the second meal period.
Employees who do not agree to waive their second meal period in the circumstances described above will
be provided an unpaid thirty (30) minute off duty meal period in accordance with Company policy.
I understand and acknowledge that I or the Company may revoke this waiver at any time. I also
understand that this waiver does not relieve me of my obligation to comply with the Company’s meal and
rest period policy with regard to the meal and rest periods not covered by this waiver, and that my failure
to do so may result in appropriate disciplinary action up. I acknowledge that I have read this waiver,
understand it, and voluntarily agree to its provisions.
