Employee Manual

Any employee who violates this policy or uses the electronic communication systems for improper purposes may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.

Color Copier (Bizhub) and Postage Meter Usage Before running any copies on the Bizhub or running postage through the postage meter, employees must enter an account number to be charged. A list of accounts is available in both locations.

For any of the copiers in the building, the high-volume drawers should be reserved for white paper only. If there is a large run requiring colored paper, the person running the job must monitor it carefully and remove the colored paper at the end, so that paper is not wasted when others want to run a job on white paper.

When other special features are engaged on copier, they should be cancelled and the machine restored to the default settings.

Dress Code and Personal Appearance AAC employees are to be dressed and groomed in accordance with accepted social and ministry standards. A neat, tasteful appearance contributes to the positive impressions we make on behalf of AAC. Clothing should be modest and clearly contribute to a professional office environment. Employees are expected to be suitably attired and groomed during working hours or when representing the church.

Office Management Office management, including purchasing, policies, equipment, space, etc., is under the direction of the Director of Operations. All non-ministry and equipment expenditures must be approved by the Director of Operations prior to ordering the item(s).

Ministry-related expenses other than equipment must be approved by the ministry leader whose budget is being charged for the expenditure.

Church Phone Policy In using the telephone system, promptness and courtesy should always be the norm. Personal preferences for handling a pastor’s or ministry leader’s call should be made known to the receptionists. Outgoing personal calls must be local calls only, and should be limited in frequency and length.

Personal Use of Church Property The use of AAC property is limited to church business and programs only, except for running copies and postage. Small numbers of copies and postage may be run if the costs are reimbursed to the church. There is a container on the black and white copier where employees can deposit their reimbursements. Black and white copies are $.05 and color copies are $.10.
