What should you expect your first day of work?

Starting an assignment with Hire Advantage is just like any job you would start. You should expect some or all of the following items on your first day of work:

• Arrive early for your shift.
• Bring pen and paper to take notes.
• There may be some training depending on the type of assignment, or you may jump right into a project.
• You may spend some time getting to know the company culture, the staff and your way around the office or worksite.
• Ask lots of questions to get better acquainted with the job duties
• Contact your recruiter at some point during the day to notify us you arrived and how the day went.

Hire Advantage work schedules and hours are based on client service requirements. As a condition of employment, all employees are expected to adhere to attendance and punctuality requirements as established by their assignment.

If you are going to be late for your assignment or have an emergency or illness that prevents you from coming to work, you must call your Recruiter prior to the start time of your assignment. Hire advantage will call the client and manage the situation. Such notification should include a reason for the absence and an indication of when you can be expected to report for work. Leaving a message in the general voicemail box is not sufficient notification; you must follow up and personally speak with a Recruiter or another member of management.

A doctor’s note may be required for medical excuses or illnesses, and other documentation may be requested for various other excuses resulting in missed days from work.

It will be at the discretion of Hire advantage and our client to determine what will be considered excessive tardiness, which is grounds for termination from the assignment and Hire Advantage employment.

Once you have accepted an assignment, Hire Advantage and our client expect you to complete it. Remember, our clients are depending on YOU!

Poor attendance and excessive tardiness will lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Failure to properly notify Hire advantage of your absences or changes to your schedule will lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Employees who are absent from work for one day without giving proper notice to the Company will be considered as having voluntarily resigned and will not be eligible for rehire by Hire advantage.

All employees are paid for work performed during the previously completed week. A work week runs from Monday through the following Sunday. Payroll is processed weekly on Tuesday, unless payday should fall on a holiday, in which case paychecks are processed on the last working day prior to the holiday.

When on an assignment, you are required to submit your time to Hire Advantage for payment each week. You alone are responsible for ensuring that Hire advantage receives your complete timecard in a timely manner.

Timecards must be received no later than 5:00p.m (Central Standard Time) on Monday following the work week in order to be processed in payroll. Hire advantage will not be responsible for late or incomplete timecards. Time submitted after the deadline will be processed in the following week’s payroll and will delay your check by a week.

Because our clients will not pay invoices without a signed timecard, we do not accept hours given over the phone.

The following MUST be shown correctly on your timecard:

1. Your name.
2. Your social security number.
3. The week-ending Sunday date.
4. Your time starting at work, out for lunch, in from lunch, and out for the day. Please use exact time and do not round or estimate your time.
5. You should also record the beginning and ending time of any split shift or departure from work forpersonal reasons.
6. Any expenses submitted for reimbursement such as parking or per diem.
7. The date for each day you worked.
8. Your total hours (in hours and minutes) for the week.
9. Your signature.
10. Your supervisor’s signature.
11. The client company name, division, and Job Order #.

Any timecard that has missing or incorrect information could affect your electronic submittal and      delay your paycheck. If your timecard is missing any of the information outlined above or if the timecard contains White Out, mark outs or changed information, the timecard will be mailed back to you. This will almost certainly delay the issuance of your paycheck.
