RESTAURANT TEAM MEMBER HANDBOOK - EthicsPoint

Pregnancy Disability Leave
Team members are entitled to pregnancy leave for the reasonable period of
time that a team member is disabled on account of pregnancy, childbirth, or
related medical conditions, not to exceed four months. Team members must
provide the Team Member Relations Department reasonable notice, to the
extent practicable, of the date that the leave will commence and the length of
the leave.
Parental School Leave
Nevada
Team members may be eligible for leave to attend conferences requested by
an administrator of a school attended by the team member’s child. In
addition, parents, guardians or custodians of a child who is enrolled in a
public or private school may take unpaid leave from employment for four
hours per school year to attend certain functions such as parent-teacher
conferences or school-related activities during regular school hours. The
leave must be taken at a time mutually agreed upon by the team member and
BJ’s and must be taken in increments of at least one hour. A team member
seeking time off for these reasons must make a written request for the leave
at least five school days before the leave will be taken and must provide
documentation that he or she actually used the leave for a proper purpose.
Voting Leave
If it is impracticable for a team member to vote before or after his or her
scheduled shift, he or she may be eligible for unpaid voting leave. Any team
member wishing to take voting leave must give a restaurant manager or the
Team Member Relations Department notice in writing prior to election day.
This notice must include the address of the polling place where the team
member votes.
Jury Duty Leave
Team members may obtain unpaid leave to attend jury duty and are not
required to work within eight hours prior to the scheduled jury duty service
or, if the jury duty service has lasted four or more hours, between the hours
of 5 p.m. on the day of jury service and 3 a.m. the following day. Team
members must provide to their General Manager at least three days prior to
the scheduled jury service a copy of the notice to employer that accompanies
a Nevada jury duty service summons.
