EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK

Introduction

Purpose of Handbook

This handbook provides guidelines for employees in their behavior and performance at the workplace. The company has the right to revise or amend the handbook at any time. New or revised policies will become effective immediately when they are issued and will supersede previous policies.

At-Will Employment

Nothing contained in this Handbook is intended to nor does it create a contract of employment. Your employment can be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time at the option of either yourself or the company. No employee of the company has the authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing.

Equal Opportunities Policy

Employment opportunities at George Webb/Aldridge, Inc. are open to all qualified applicants solely on the basis of their experience, aptitude and abilities. Qualified applicants are considered for all positions and for advancement without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or any other basis protected by State or Federal law. Employment decisions are based on such factors as, an individual's experience, achievement, performance, ability and attitude. Our Equal Employment Opportunity policy covers all employment practices, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training.

We will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities where such adversely affects the employee's ability to perform the essential functions of the job or if the employee has a religious belief that affects the employee's job, unless making the reasonable accommodation would result in an undue hardship to the company. Any employee who feels they need an accommodation should contact management. We will examine each situation on a case-by-case basis.

Non-Harassment Policy

Employees are forbidden from engaging in any form of harassment against co-workers, guests, or any other person they come into contact with as employees of our company. Harassment can be a form of discrimination when it is based on age, race, national origin, sex/gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or membership in any class protected by federal, state or local law, or is in retaliation to a person claiming harassment or discrimination. This policy forbids sexual harassment, defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

  1. Submission to the conduct is an explicit or implicit term or condition of employment; -or-
  2. An individual's submission to or rejection of such conduct becomes the basis for employment decisions affecting that individual; -or-
  3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work performance or creates or contributes to an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.

If you believe you are being harassed, report the conduct to any manager at your location. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to a manager at your location, call the corporate office and speak to the owner. All complaints of harassment will be taken seriously and investigated promptly and as confidentially as possible. In some cases, we may not be able to guarantee complete confidentiality. However, we assure you that retaliation for making a harassment claim will not be tolerated from the accused or any other employee. If, after an investigation, we conclude there has been harassing behavior, that employee will be disciplined appropriately based on the circumstances. Discipline may include termination.

About Us

George Webb

George Webb opened his first restaurant in 1948 on Milwaukee's East side.

The Two ClocksImage of Two Clocks

Every George Webb has two clocks in the dining room. Why? Because along with great food, George was known for his sense of humor, including the two clocks that still hang in every restaurant. The real story about the two clocks has to do with being open 24 hours. However, a quick answer to people that ask is... "One clock for each eye" .

Baseball PredictionImage of George Webb PredictsImage of Giveaway

George Webb was also known for this baseball prediction ... "George Webb predicts our local baseball team will win 12 straight league games". People speculated for years that if the team wins 12 games straight, we would give away free burgers.

Finally on April 19, 1987, the Milwaukee Brewers won 12 straight games and three days later customers lined up at every George Webb while we served up 168,194 free burgers. The prediction continued and 31 years later on October 12, 2018 the Brewers won 12 straight again and on October 18 2018, we served up over 100,000 free burgers again.

Aldridge, Inc.

Aldridge, Inc. is the operator of the following four George Webb restaurants.

Workplace Policies

#1  Communications (with the Manager)

Phone Calls and Text MessagesImage of Smart Phone

If the manager calls or texts you when you are off-duty, answer back, and please do so promptly. Failure to communicate, and in a timely fashion, is not going to be seen favorably and in fact will be considered a workplace policy violation.

Mail Slot

Image of Mailslot Each person on staff is assigned a mail slot. It will contain important communications from the manager. Check it each time you work.

#2  Shifts and Hours

We have standard shifts of eight hours as follows:

  • 1st Shift: 6 am-2 pm
  • 2nd Shift: 2 pm-10 pm
  • 3rd Shift: 10 pm-6 am.

Depending on store and day of week, we have some short shifts of six hours as follows:

  • 1st Shift: 8 am-2 pm:
  • 3rd Shift: 12 midnight-6am.

Typically we guaranteed no one all 8 hour shifts or all 6 hour shifts.

Alternative Shifts

Your willingness to work on occasion, a shift other than your regular shift, can help you get more hours if you're interested.

Overtime

If you work more than 40 hours, you are paid time-and-one-half overtime pay.

Second Job

It is our expectation that this will be your only job. If you take a second job and it interferes with this job, you may be let go from this job. Keep in mind that working a second job is far easier to think about than actually doing it. Rather than attempting a second job, consider that we can offer extra shifts and overtime, and then you will make more money and don't need to divide your interests between two jobs.

#3  Schedules

Image of Schedule Page

As the manager prepares new schedules, or makes schedule revisions, you will receive a text notification. Such texts, will come from this number (414) 937-5702, not from your manager's number. You may also check the schedule anytime by visiting aldridgeinc.com.

Days Off

We do our best to rotate days off so everyone gets a variety of days. You may have two days off in a row, or at times dyour two off days will be spread apart.

Day Off Requests

Before the schedule is published, we will accept requests for specific days off for appointments or other needs. Make such requests by filling out an online form at aldridgeinc.com, clicking Schedules, then Requests. We do not accept requests by phone, texts or written notes.

No Guaranteed Same Days Off

We will not guarantee a a specific day or days off every week. Doing so would cause the schedule rotation to stall resulting in everyone else always having to work the days you want off.

Unexpected Need for a Day Off

Once the schedule is posted, you are responsible for working as scheduled.  So if after the schedule is posted you realize you need a certain day that you didn't ask for, this becomes a shift trade. Ask a coworker to work in your place and that you'll take one of their off-days. Then, if you can arrange such a trade, ask the manager who will want to hear from both parties.

Being Asked to Work on a Day Off

If someone calls in, we may ask you to work. Whether you are available or not, please have the courtesy to reply giving a yes or no.

#4  Arrival & Clock-in

The shift transition can be awkward with one shift going off and the other coming on at the exact same time. It's worse if anyone is late. So, we highly encourage you to arrive for your shift by ten minutes to the hour, go ahead and clock in start working. Take over customer service and food preparation so the shift going off can focus on their last minute details.

When you clock in by 10 to and begin working, you start getting paid. On the other hand, if you arrive even earlier, please wait until 10 to to clock in, unless you are asked to start even earlier

#5  Attendance


Attendance Policy

If You're Running Late

Text the manager, and call the store immediately!  People want to go home! If you make them wait for you, you are placing the importance of your time ahead of theirs. That is not fair.

If You're Going to be Absent

We don't have extra people waiting in the wings so take our absence requirements seriously and do the following:

1. Think about who is off and try to find a replacement.

2. Can't find a replacement, call or text the manager by the "Call-by-Time" which is:

Do Not Disturb
  • 1st shift: 10 pm the night before*;
  • 2nd shift: 10 am the day of;
  • 3rd shift: 6 pm the day of.

3. If you miss the "Call-by-Time":

Notify the manager immediately and well before work time. We need time to find a replacement and you're not giving us much time.

Need to Go Home Early?

You must get permission. Coverage must be arranged.

Attendance Record Keeping Point System

Our attendance policy is a "no fault " policy, which means we count every occurrence regardless of reason or circumstance and assign a point value. For that reason, absences with doctors excuses unless a qualified Family/Medical Leave, will not excuse your absence. We also record the time you reported, including if you met the "Call-by-Time".

Point Schedule:

  • Late: 1-15 minutes: (1/4 point); 16-30 minutes (1/2 point); 31-45 minutes (3/4 point); 46+ minutes (1 point).
  • Absence reported by the Call-by-Time:  2 points
  • Absence reported after the Call-by-Time:  3 points
  • Absence reported during the Last Hour:  4 points
  • Communication Failure:  You didn't reply to a text or call on a timely basis -- 4 points at manager's discretion
  • Refusal to Work (on an off-day) -- 4 points (at manager's discretion)
  • Home early - same point levels as for being late.

Warnings and Discharge

Warnings are issued after having accumulated 3 points, 6 points, 9 points, and a final warning at 12 points. Warnings state that your employment is subject to discharge without further warning. NOTE: As a trainee, discharge may result immediately without the benefit of any warning.

A no show is cause for discharge without any warning other than the issuance of this handbook.

Get Points Back

After having received points, you can improve your attendance record. For each month of no occurrences, 2 points will be expunged from your record (until you reach zero points).

Two Essential Rules

  1. There are no breaks any old time you feel like it.
  2. There is no eating any old time you feel like it.

Coordinate Your Breaks

Bathroom Breaks

Excessive or overly long bathroom breaks are not permitted.

Mandatory Meal Break

The employee meal is only during the mandatory meal break. During that break:

Getting Ready and Taking the Meal Break

Meal-Break if Working a Short Shift

If scheduled for a short shift (six hours or less), you do not receive the 30-minute meal-break. However, if you want to eat at work, you have two choices:

arrive a little early, order your half-price meal and eat before clocking in

-or-

during the regular break window after the others have taken their meal break, you may order a half-price meal and take just enough time to eat your food while staying on the clock.

Food or Beverage for Take Home

This is not time to make food for yourself or pour a beverage and take those home for free or expect a discount. If you want to take home a carryout, you can, but at menu price and only by ordering it on the POS and preparing it or having it prepared, with a corresponding ticket hanging in the kitchen.

#14 Workplace IntegrityImage

We Audit EverythingImage of Guest Check Audit

Examples are:

Audit Forms

Don't become alarmed when you receive an audit form. For example, one audit we do is comparing what you write on the  Waitrpads vs what you ring on the POS system. An example is coffee, soda, soup or chili that you wrote on the waitrpad but failed to ring on the point-of-sale (POS) system. As we audit these,  if we find errors, we are going to present them to you for repayment. Frankly we rather that you had gotten the money from the customer. Avoid such errors by comparing what you write to what you rang before you press the "DONE" key on the POS.

Inspection of Belongings

Management reserves the right to inspect personal belonging, including purses, backpacks, or other closed containers.

TheftImage

Theft of any kind will be cause for discharge, and the incident may well be reported to the police.

Examples:

Video Surveillance

Video and audio is recorded at all times. While no one is just sitting there 24/7 watching and listening, we employ video auditors to conduct surveillance and prepare reports that may be presented to you.

Internal Investigations

Image of Video Surveillance The company utilizes a service that monitors employee compliance workplace policies and procedures. Reports will be presented to you.

#15  Customer Relations

Non-Discrimination

Employees will provide service to all individuals regardless of disability, age, race, religion, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, national origin, and will not discriminate under any unlawful basis.

Customer Mission

"The purpose of everything we do here is for serving our customers in the fastest, most friendly way we can.

You Conduct In front of and Towards Customers

  1. Leave your problems at the door - no one wants your high drama.
  2. Look sharp, leave the wrinkled homeless look for the streets.
  3. Smile! It makes a tremendous difference.
  4. Don't stand in front of the store looking bored. Make yourself busy.
  5. Stop, look, listen. Greet every customer the moment the door opens. Even if you're busy with other customers, speak up and say... "Hello, I'll be right with you".
  6. Do not show frustration, have an attitude, or argue with a customer (or a coworker), ever!
  7. Do not have a personal conversation with another employee within earshot of customers.
  8. Do not eat or drink or use your cell phone in view of customers.
  9. Do not gossip about anyone within earshot of customers.
  10. If there is an extra charge, alert your customer.
  11. Don't ask for tips or discuss tips in front of customers.
  12. Never blame the cook or other workers for anything that goes wrong. Just make it right.

Use Respectful Language

#16  Coworker Relations

Getting along is your responsibility!

  1. Don't display a bad attitude or create drama
  2. Don't provoke an argument or escalate one
  3. Don't be rude, disorderly, or indecent to others
  4. Don't use foul or abusive language
  5. Don't gossip and don't pay attention to gossip.

#17  Non-Escalation Policy

A positive outcome for any interaction with anyone is what we want. An upset coworker or a disruptive customer will likely lose the attitude if you remain calm and not react in a way that might escalate the "situation". So never argue, or even speak loudly, and certainly never engage physically.

#18  Clock Out and Departure

When it's time to go home:

  1. No one should clock out and leave before others.
  2. Make sure customers are handed off properly to the new shift.
  3. Make sure all shift duty items are completed and checked off on the duties tablet.
  4. After everything is done, everyone clocks out at the same time.

#19  Working Extra Time (Before, During or After Shift)

The Extra Time Worked ReportImage of Extra Time Worked Report

There will be times when you work more minutes than the formal shift. Examples:

Example #1 - The restaurant is extra busy so you were asked to start before 10 to.

Example #2 - The store was busy during the meal break window such that you couldn't get the meal-break in.

Example #3 - The store was extra busy so you worked past 10 after.

Example #4 - Someone was late and so you stayed past 10 to.

In such cases, you will be paid for this extra time if the reason(s) are:  a) reasonable; and b) you filled out an Extra Time Worked Report (ETWR). If the extra time is excessive, unnecessary, or there is no ETWR prepared, the extra time will not be approved.

We don't cheat anyone out of legitamate and reasonable extra time spent to help customers or make the place right for the next shift, but we won't accept needless padding of extra work time.

Discipline Procedures

We prefer to give an opportunity to correct behavior as follows. However depending on the severity of the issue, we may implement any one or more of these procedures or may move directly to discharge.

About Training

During training we expect:

  1. That you will put 100% effort into learning this job.
  2. That you listen more than you talk.
  3. That you stay right with your trainer every step of the way.
  4. That you make genuine progress every day toward being able to do the job on your own.
  5. That you will be on time every day.
  6. That you will not be absent. Any lateness or an absence during training will be cause to end your training without any warning other than the issuance of this handbook.

It takes time to learn and get used to a new job. Don't give up!

Wages and Tips During Training

The training wage as indicated to you during the interview is the current minimum wage.

While you will be collecting tips from tables as you learn the job, the tips are not yours. Even if a customer says "here this tip is for you", it's not. Just say thank you and put the tip into the tip container. After you have fully completed your training you will share fully in the tips.

Post Training

Don't waste time going through training and then quitting because the job isn't exactly as you expected. Give it a chance. After training, there will still be more to learn. When you are told things, DO NOT GET AN ATTITUDE. Realize that learning continues for a few weeks to a couple months after training.

Everyone gets frustrated and feels like quitting at times, but acting on that impulse will only hurt you in the long run. Before you resign see your manager. If all else fails, we ask for a two week notice which is for you to find a backup plan and for us to find a replacement.

Severance Pay

If you have been employed for at least six months and give a two (2) week notice, you can receive up to $200 severance pay. (Prorated based to 40 hours and contingent on full attendance and acceptable work performance during the notice period.)

Rehire eligibility depends on how you conducted yourself at work, and the way in which you quit.

Final Pay

On separation of employment, whether due to a quit or discharge, per company policy and state labor regulations, your final pay will be provided to you via direct deposit on the next regularly scheduled pay day, not earlier.
