When you’re at WorkHours of Work and Breaks[back to top]Full-time working hours are a minimum of 32 and a maximum of 44 hours per week._________________________________________________________________________OvertimeOvertime must be approved by the Divisional Manager/Department Head. Managers andsupervisors don't qualify for overtime pay if the work they do is managerial or supervisoryand they perform any non-supervisory or non-managerial tasks on an irregular orexceptional basis._________________________________________________________________________What is Overtime Pay?Overtime pay is at least 1½ times the associate’s regular rate of pay (time and a half).For example, if the associate’s regular pay is $8 an hour the overtime rate is $12 an hour($8 x 1½) for every hour worked after 44 in each week.Overtime will not be paid for work performed off company premises, unless specificapproval has been obtained in advance from the Divisional Manager/Department Head.Commuting between home and work is not considered working, travel or waiting time._________________________________________________________________________BreaksFor every 5 hours you are scheduled to work you can take either:• Option A - one 30 minute paid break or• Option B - two 15 minute paid breaks and one 30 minute unpaid break** you must work a minimum of 5 hours to take a break.An associate scheduled to work a 10 hour shift receives two 30 minute paid breaks._________________________________________________________________________Breaks for Split ShiftsIf an associate is scheduled to work a split shift being 11am-1pm and 3pm-9pm, theywould not be eligible for any breaks during the first half of their shift; even though theyleave the club for a couple of hours from 1-3pm, they are still eligible to take a break(Option A or B) during the second half of their shift because from 3-9pm they are working6 hours. In this example because the second half of their shift is only 6 hours it wouldmake most sense to take one 30 minute paid break. In CARE the hours entered for thatday would be a total of 8._________________________________________________________________________Entering the hours into CAREExample 1 – associate chooses Option AIf an associate works an 8 hour shift and they took one 30 minute paid break they wouldenter 8 hours into CARE for that day.Example 2 – associate chooses Option BIf an associate works an 8 hour shift and they take one 15 minute paid break in themorning, one 15 minute paid break in the afternoon and one 30 minute unpaid break forlunch they must enter 7.5 hours into CARE for that day._________________________________________________________________________Associates that work the overnight shift in 24 hour clubsIf you are scheduled to work an overnight shift by yourself for a minimum of 5 hours in a24 hour club you can take your 30 minute paid break during non-peak hours between 2amand 4am and if a member walks in serve them and then continue your break. Your breakmay end up happening over a 1-2 hour period due to interruptions but in the end you willhave had a total of 30 minutes paid to eat and rest.Confidential and Proprietary Information of Goodlife Fitness Clubs | V14 July 2009 36
