Occasionally, due to business needs, a team member may be directed to
work overtime. All non-exempt team members (team members who are paid
by the hour) will be compensated in accordance with applicable federal and
state laws when they work overtime. Overtime must be approved by the
team member’s immediate supervisor in advance of the overtime work being
performed. Repeated failure to seek advance approval may lead to
disciplinary action. That said, any overtime worked must be recorded and
will be compensated in accordance with applicable law. Medical leaves,
vacation, holidays not worked, jury duty and other leaves of absence taken
by a team member are not considered time worked for purposes of
computing overtime. Overtime hours will not be counted for purposes of
accruing hours under any Company benefit plan unless the benefit plan
specifically provides for such coverage.
