Regular attendance and punctuality by employees are essential in maintaining high levels of professionalism, productivity, and allows everyone to perform at their best, ensuring the achievement of company and departmental goals. However, we recognize that employees occasionally become ill, need time off from work, or are unavoidably late. The purpose of this policy is to ensure employees provide notice of such absences (refer to company time and attendance policy regarding the proper process for providing notice).
An unauthorized absence occurs when the employee does not follow the Time and Attendance Policy regarding notification of absence. The employee has not properly notified that he or she will be late or absent in accordance with the Company Time and Attendance Policy. Points will be assessed for un- authorized absences, tardiness, or late arrivals as described below.
Absent – missing one or more consecutive scheduled workdays for a single reason or arriving more than two hours after the scheduled starting time.
Tardy – arriving 3 to 14 minutes after the scheduled shift start time
Late – arriving between 15 minutes and two hours after the scheduled shift start time
Points will accumulate and remain in effect for 12 months after they are issued. For example, if you are issued 1 point on Dec 30th, 2022, then on Dec 30th, 2023 that 1 point will expire and no longer be included in your cumulative totals. Other points will remain active until they expire and continue to be subject to disciplinary actions as outlined in this document. If an employee works at multiple locations, points will accrue in combination, regardless of which location the points initially accrued.

Upon successful completion of each of the first 3 tests, the total points accrued are effective immediately and applied to your next work day. All subsequent points for the following tests are effective on the following Saturday of the date the test was first administered.
Longevity points are valued at 0.25 points and awarded for every 310 days worked. Seasonal employees must complete their contract in full to earn longevity points. If an employee terminates their employment, does not fulfill their first-year contract, or goes on an unauthorized leave of absence, then any earned longevity points to date are forfeited. As long as criteria is met, the longevity points will carry over into each contract term. For example, if an H2B employee only works 10 months (274 days) consecutively in accordance with their contact, they will need 36 additional days worked upon their return at next season, before this is earned.
Total points awarded to an employee cannot exceed 12 points. Longevity points are applicable until an employee reaches a maximum of 11.5 points.
A twenty-two percent service charge is mandatory on all guest checks and must not be removed under any circumstances. One hundred percent of this service charge is used to compensate employees on the specific date the service charge is paid by guest. Service charge is calculated daily and distributed amongst all positions. A maximum of 10 hours per day are applicable for service charge calculations. Eighteen percent of service charge is distributed to all eligible front of house employees determined by individual points earned and total hours worked on that date. Four percent of service charge is distributed as a discretionary bonus to culinary employees. The company reserves the right to pay service charge separately, via salary or apply to hourly pay. If a guest decides to leave additional gratuity, 80% is kept by the direct server of the table and 20% is distributed amongst the support team based on how many hours they have worked on that particular shift.
Note all returning H2B employees will start with the same points they have accomplished from the prior season. Employee will have 14 days to re-take stage 2 & stage 3 tests to keep the same level of points. If not passed, employee will lose the applicable points until they successfully retake tests.
The company reserves the right to cap the total amount of hours worked that are eligible for service charge in a work day.
