<strong>Team</strong> members for whom a tip credit is taken will be paid no less than the established minimum wage<br />
rate when attending meetings.<br />
<strong>Team</strong> members are not expected to perform any duties related to their jobs unless they have properly<br />
“clocked in”.<br />
Each property/facility will establish a standard or normal work schedule for each team member in each<br />
department. The work schedule will specify hours per day and days per week that each team member is<br />
required to work.<br />
Meal/Rest Periods<br />
The scheduling of meal periods at <strong>MMI</strong> is set by the team member’s immediate manager with the goal<br />
of providing the least possible disruption to company operations.<br />
Mandatory Meal Period<br />
<strong>Team</strong> member meal periods are important to company productivity and team member health. <strong>Team</strong><br />
members who work at least six (6) consecutive hours will be provided a meal break not to exceed 60<br />
minutes. The meal period will not be included in the total hours of work per day and is not<br />
compensable. Nonexempt team members are to be completely relieved of all job duties while on meal<br />
breaks and must clock out for meal periods.<br />
Rest Breaks<br />
Salaried team members, as they are paid a weekly salary regardless of the hours they work, may choose<br />
to take breaks as needed. Nonexempt team members are permitted a 15‐minute rest break for each<br />
four hours of work. Nonexempt team members on rest breaks are not required to clock in and clock out<br />
because this time is considered “time worked” and is compensable.<br />
Impermissible Use of Meal Period and/or Rest Breaks<br />
Neither the lunch period nor the rest break(s) may be used to account for a team member's late arrival<br />
or early departure or to cover time off for other purposes—for example, rest breaks may not be<br />
accumulated to extend a meal period, and rest breaks may not be combined to allow one half‐hour long<br />
break.<br />
Overtime Pay (nonexempt team members)<br />
Nonexempt team members who exceed 40 hours of work time in a workweek will be paid overtime at<br />
the rate of one and half times their hourly rate. It is important to note that the 40 hours is calculated on<br />
actual time worked and does not include paid leave, such as holiday, sick or vacation pay.<br />
A workweek is defined as a consecutive seven (7) day period. For <strong>MMI</strong> facilities, that period begins at<br />
12:00 a.m. on Monday morning and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday night.<br />
On‐Call Pay (nonexempt team members)<br />
An on‐call team member who is called back to work outside his or her normal work schedule shall be<br />
paid for the time worked or a minimum of two (2) hours, whichever is greater.<br />
