You and Your Job Working Hours Generally, office hours range anywhere from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The building may be accessed from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Colleagues’ schedules may vary to cover the work demands for your position and department. Your schedule will be arranged by your manager and coordinated with you. Changes in work schedules will be announced as far in advance as possible. Regular full-time colleagues may generally take a one-hour meal break. Non-exempt colleagues will be relieved of all active responsibilities during the meal break and will not be compensated for that time. Other breaks in work may be taken as needed in coordination with operating requirements. Breaks should be limited to 10 minutes every three hours, which includes smoking breaks. If your needs vary, please discuss your situation with your manager. Nursing mothers may take a reasonable break time to express milk as needed, in a location other than a restroom. Dawson provides a lactation room at the headquarters office. Dawson will provide reasonable accommodations to a nursing mother, as required under federal and state law, who has made her manager aware of her need.
Recording Your Hours Laws require Dawson to maintain records of the hours worked by our non-exempt (hourly) colleagues. To ensure accurate records are kept of the hours you actually work and to ensure that you are paid in a timely manner, you are required to record your time worked in Bullhorn. This form should be completed every pay period, signed and forwarded to your manager on the last day of the pay period. After reviewing the form and resolving discrepancies, if any exist, your manager will approve the form and forward it to the payroll department for processing. Please be sure that your hours worked and leave time are recorded accurately. Only actual hours worked are included in overtime calculations, meaning Paid Time Off and Holiday hours are excluded. Authorization from a supervisor is required prior to working overtime hours. Unauthorized overtime is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment. Falsification of a time record may result in disciplinary action, up to an including termination of employment.
Pay Procedures All Dawson colleagues are normally paid on Fridays, by direct deposit and on a bi-weekly basis. Your pay information is available electronically on line at www.dawsoncareers.com. Your login and password will be given to you. If you haven’t received your password by your first pay please contact the payroll department. In the lower right hand corner click “login” enter your last name and password provided to you. This allows a colleague to view recent paycheck history, timecard information and important messages. Paper pay stubs are not mailed to your home.
