Respect and Integrity To ensure a happy work environment, it is essential to have motivated, encouraged and supported staff. Good communication between staff members is critical and all staff should respect each other’s opinions. It is expected that our staff members will perform their duties with professionalism and integrity, to effectively and efficiently serve our customers.

The definition of Integrity is to follow your moral or ethical convictions, and to do the right thing in all circumstances, even if no one is watching you. Good integrity includes treating customers and work colleagues with respect. Don’t let your teammates "take the fall". Work together as a team.

Personal Conduct Your personal conduct should be fully consistent with our staff handbook as well as the values and culture of our business. You should always be professional and courteous and deal fairly and honestly with all employees, customers, and suppliers. Do not use inappropriate or offensive language at any time either in verbal or written form. Inappropriate or offensive language includes, but is not limited to, any language or content that is sexually oriented or suggestive, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane or hateful.

Hours It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of your rostered time for starting and finishing work. We do not support ongoing overtime as part of our standard practice. You should be able to complete your role in the specified rostered hours. If for any reason you believe you are constantly unable to complete your allocated tasks, please see your Line Manager.

Timesheets Timesheets provide the basis for your wage calculations, so it is very important that you record your hours of work in our electronic system. You will need to sign in at the start of your shift and sign out when you finish work. All breaks outside of your usual rostered times must be communicated to your line manager. If you are found to be providing misleading or untruthful information, you may be subject to disciplinary action.
