SEXUAL AND OTHER UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT. A fundamental policy of THE CABOOSE RESTAURANTS is that the workplace is for work. Our goal is to provide a workplace free from tensions involving matters which do not relate to the business. In particular, an atmosphere of tension created by non-work related conduct, including ethnic, racial, sexual or religious remarks, national origin, disability, animosity, unwelcome sexual advances or request for sexual favors or other such conduct does not belong in our workplace. Harassment of employees or of applicants by other employees, by those of the opposite or same sex, is prohibited. Harassment includes, without limitation, verbal harassment (epithets, derogatory statements, slurs), physical harassment (assault, physical interference with normal work or involvement), visual harassment (posters, cartoons, drawings), and innuendo. Sexual harassment is a violation of State and Federal law. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical contact and other verbal or physical conduct, or visual forms of harassment of a sexual nature when submission to such conduct is either explicitly or implicitly made a term or condition of employment or is used as the basis for employment decisions or when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. To maintain a productive work environment, THE CABOOSE RESTAURANTS expect employees to be reliable and to be punctual in reporting for work. Front of the house employees are required to arrive 15 minutes before a scheduled shift. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on other employees and on THE CABOOSE RESTAURANTS. In the rare instances when employees cannot avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence. Missed shifts and excessive tardiness will not be tolerated. Employees are responsible for knowing their schedules, covering their shifts properly, and being on time. It is your responsibility to cover all scheduled shifts that you can not work. If you do not call or cover your shift, it will be assumed that you have terminated your employment. All schedule changes must be written on a Schedule Change Form and approved by a Manager. Employees will be paid for any time they are required to be on work premises (mandatory meetings). In the event that you are not needed at the time of your arrival, you will be given a specific time to return to work. This time will be at least 30 minutes later than your scheduled time. These shifts will begin and end at a set time designated by your immediate supervisor. If you are required to arrive to work in less than 15 minutes, you will be paid for the entire “on call” shift, if you are required to arrive to work in 30 minutes or longer, you will be paid for the time you are on the premises only.
