Get To Know Us ISLAND HISTORY
Every story has a beginning, and the history of Williams Island dates back to the early 1980s. The Trump Group, headed by Eddie, Jules and Stephanie Trump from South Africa, discovered this Island peninsula nestled on 84-acres in the exclusive enclave of Aventura. Secluded and covered by Australian Pines, it was the ideal setting for a private Island community.
It became a true Island surrounded by Dumbfoundling Bay, Maule Lake and Little Maule Lake with a continuous flow of water circulating the island and with the building of a series of marinas at the entrance to Williams Island.
The luxury residences at Williams Island were among the first of their kind in the region. Elegant resort trappings… spectacular views…charming village scapes…, these amazing lifestyle elements have been a part of Williams Island since the 1980s. The Trumps enticed screen legend Sophia Loren to call Williams Island home. Sophia Loren served as a consultant to The after Procida, one of the Flegrean visit the Island as they planned the Mediterranean Village at Williams Island.
Beginning with its first majestic residential tower in 1985 (4000 Island Boulevard), and continuing through its most recent addition – Bellini, (4100 Island Boulevard), which made its grand entrance in 2013, Williams Island has consistently set standards for beauty, grace and quality.
Residents today include entertainers, industry leaders, successful entrepreneurs, community leaders, noted philanthropists and celebrity sports figures.
It All Comes Down To Respect MANAGEMENT TO TEAM MEMBERS COMMITMENT
The leadership of Williams Island believe that our Team Members are our most important resource. Based on that philosophy, the leadership and management of Williams Island commits to:
• Understand that each Team Member of Williams Island deserves our attention, respect and support.

If a situation or concern should arise, it is important for you to know that we encourage you to talk first with your immediate supervisor/manager. Give your supervisor/manager the chance to work the issue out with you. If the situation involves your supervisor/manager, or you’re not satisfied with your supervisor’s/manager’s response, or if for any reason, you do not wish to bring the issue to your supervisor’s/manager’s attention, you may present your concerns to the Human Resources Director.
If you do not feel the response or action by the Human Resources Director is satisfactory, you may contact the General Manager.

Any Team Member, including supervisors/managers, involved in any unlawful discriminatory practices will be subject to termination.
WORKPLACE POLICIES
Is It A Fit?
INTRODUCTORY PERIOD
Your first ninety (90) days of employment are considered an Introductory Period.
During this Introductory Period, we will evaluate your suitability for employment. Completion of the Introductory Period does not guarantee continued employment, as employment is always at-will.
Who’s Who?
EMPLOYMENT CLASSIFICATIONS
At the time you are hired, you are classified as either full-time or part-time. (Exhibit A, page 8)
In addition, you are classified as either “non-exempt” or “exempt.” All other policies described in this Team Member Manual and communicated by Williams Island POA apply to all Team Members, with the exception of certain wage, salary and time off limitations applying only to non-exempt Team Members. If you are unsure of which job classification your position fits into, please ask your supervisor/manager.
Full-Time Team Members
A Team Member who has successfully completed their Introductory Period (see the Introductory Period Policy for a specific definition) and who works consistently at least forty (40) hours per week on a regular year-long basis is considered a full-time Team Member.
Part-Time Team Members
A Team Member who works less than forty (40) hours per week is considered a part-time Team Member. If you are a part-time Team Member, please understand that you are NOT eligible for benefits described in this Team Member Manual, except to the extent required by provision of state and federal laws. (Refer to BENEFITS section).
Non-Exempt Team Members
At the time you are hired, you will be classified as either “exempt” or “non-exempt”. This is necessary because, by law, Team Members in certain types of jobs are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per work week. These Team Members are referred to as “non-exempt” in this Team Member Manual. This means that they are not exempt from (and therefore should receive) overtime pay.
Exempt Team Members
“Exempt” Team Members may be supervisors/managers, executives, professional staff, technical staff, outside sales representatives, officers, directors, owners and others whose duties and responsibilities allow them to be “exempt” from overtime pay provisions as provided by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and any applicable state laws. If you are an “exempt” Team Member, you will be advised that you are in this classification at the time you are hired, transferred or promoted.
Exempt Team Members receive a set salary which is intended to compensate you for any hours you may work. Exempt Team Members are not eligible for overtime pay.
As an exempt Team Member, under federal and state law, your salary is subject to certain deductions. For example, your salary may be reduced for the following reasons:
• Full day absences for personal reasons
• Full day absences for sickness or disability, if the Association has a sickness or disability policy that provides for wage replacement benefits and you have exhausted or have not yet accrued enough leave time
• Full day disciplinary suspensions for infractions of Association rules, policies, and procedures
• Family and Medical Leave absences (either full or partial day absences)
• To offset amounts received as payment for jury and witness fees or military pay
• The first or last week of employment in the event you work less than a full week
Your salary may also be reduced for certain types of deductions such as your portion of medical, dental, or life insurance premiums; state, federal, or local taxes, social security or voluntary contributions to a 401(k) or pension plan.
As an exempt Team Member, your salary WILL NOT be reduced for any of the following reasons:
• Partial day absences for personal reasons, sickness or disability
• Absences for jury duty, attendance as a witness or military leave in any week in which you have performed any work
• Any other deductions prohibited by state or federal law
Who’s Lookin’ At You?
YOUR HUMAN RESOURCES FILE
It is the responsibility of each Team Member to promptly notify the Human Resources Director of any changes in personal data. Keeping your Human Resources file up-to-date can be important to you with regard to pay, deductions, benefits and other matters. Your confidential personnel file is the property of Williams Island POA.
It’s Just A Matter Of Time WORK SCHEDULE
We expect you to be ready to work at the beginning of your assigned daily shift, and to reasonably complete your projects by the end of your assigned shift. Please let your supervisor/manager know if you will be away from your workstation for an extended period of time and when you expect to return.
Department Meetings
On occasion, we may request that you attend a company sponsored meeting. If this is scheduled during your regular working hours, your attendance is mandatory. If you are a non-exempt Team Member and attend a meeting held during your non-working hours, you will be paid for the time spent at the meeting, minimum of two (2) hours.
Meal and Breaks
Williams Island POA will provide all hourly, non- exempt Team Members working at least eight (8) hours a day with:
• Two (2) paid 15 minute breaks: one (1) in the first half of the shift and one (1) in the second half of the shift
• AND one (1) paid thirty (30) minute meal break
Breaks may not be stacked.
Since these are all paid breaks the Team Member may be asked to perform work during the breaks. The Team Member may not leave the premises while on break (unless clocked out with Supervisor/Manager approval).
ALL administrative office work hours will be 9:30am – 5:30pm
Your supervisor/manager will review your break schedule with you. The time when breaks are scheduled varies among departments depending on the needs of each department. You must clock out when going on meal break and clock back in when that break ends, and you must be completely relieved from duty during your meal break time. Working while off the clock is subject to disciplinary actions. It is important to return to work on time at the end of your break.
Where
There’s Smoke...
Smoking is only permitted in the designated areas and only before or after work or on a scheduled break. At no time should a resident, member or guest observe a Team Member smoking.

TIME AND ATTENDANCE
By law, we are obligated to keep accurate records of the time worked by Team Members. This is done by a time clock system. All non-exempt (hourly) Team Members are required to clock in and clock out at the beginning and ending of their shift. You are responsible for accurately recording your time. Tampering with another’s time record is cause for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. In the event of an error in recording your time, please report the matter to your supervisor/manager immediately.
Non-exempt (hourly) Team Members should report to work no more than seven (7) minutes prior to their scheduled starting time nor stay more than seven (7) minutes after their scheduled stop time without expressed prior authorization from their supervisor/manager.
We ask that you be dependable and also courteous with your notification of absences. If you need to be absent from work, you must call, not text, your supervisor/manager at least two (2) hours prior to the start of your shift.
Time After Time OVERTIME
When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular working hours, Team Members may be required to work overtime. When possible, advance notification of these mandatory assignments will be provided. Failure to work scheduled overtime or overtime worked without prior authorization from your supervisor/manager may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. All overtime worked by non-exempt (hourly) Team Members must receive the supervisor’s/manager’s prior authorization.
Overtime compensation is paid to all non-exempt (hourly) Team Members in accordance with federal and state laws. Overtime pay is based on actual hours worked. Time off for sick leave, vacation leave, or any Leave of Absence will not be considered hours worked for purposes of overtime calculations.
When staff works overtime, particularly a double shift, supervisors/managers and fellow co-workers must monitor the physical state of those working the overtime hours. If a supervisor/manager determines that a Team Member is too tired to drive home, transportation will be provided.
Workin’ Hard For The Money OVERTIME PAY
If you are a non-exempt (hourly) Team Member, you will receive overtime pay of one and one-half (1 and ½) times your regular hourly wage for approved hours worked over forty (40) hours in one (1) week.

Extreme weather conditions, such as severe rain, fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, etc. can disrupt operations and interfere with work schedules, as well as endanger Team Members’ well-being. If extreme conditions require the official closing of the facilities and buildings, you will be notified by your supervisor/manager.
If weather or traveling conditions delay or prevent you from reporting to work, you should notify your supervisor/ manager as soon as possible. If you are delayed or unable to report for work at all due to weather conditions, and the buildings and club facilities are officially open, you will not be paid for the hours you were scheduled to work during this qualifying event. Exempt (salaried) Team Members may be deducted for full-day absences but not partial-day absences.
At management’s discretion, volunteers who are able to work during severe inclement weather will be rewarded with time and one-half for all hours worked during the qualifying event.
You will be expected to return to work as soon as Williams Island re-opens for business. Please provide accurate telephone numbers of where you can be reached to your supervisor/manager and the Human Resources Department.
For the latest updates and work information, please call the Hurricane Hotline at 305-466-3564.
Mother Nature HURRICANE HOURS
In case of a hurricane watch or warning, you may be called to work beyond regularly scheduled hours and days. Personal situations should be handled ahead of time in order to be able to prepare the Island Property for the upcoming hurricane.
Emergency instances may arise where non-exempt (hourly) Team Members will be asked to report for duty to address off-hours emergency situations. Team Members will be compensated for a minimum of two (2) hours’ work, even if the actual time worked is less than two (2) hours. Regular or overtime pay rates will be paid as applicable.
It is the policy of Williams Island POA to comply with all the relevant and applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We will not discriminate against any qualified Team Member or job applicant with respect to any terms, privileges, or conditions of employment because of a person’s physical or mental disability. We will also make reasonable accommodations wherever necessary for all Team Members or applicants with disabilities, provided that the individual is otherwise qualified to safely perform the essential duties and assignments connected with the job and provided that any accommodations made do not impose an undue hardship on Williams Island POA. Applicants and Team Members are assured that we will make every effort to keep all information regarding a disability confidential except:
• Supervisors/Managers may be informed regarding restrictions on work or duties and accommodations that have been made
• If the condition requires emergency treatment, first aid and safety personnel may be informed
• Government officials investigating compliance with federal laws may be informed
All Team Members with responsibilities requiring knowledge of a Team Member’s disability will be advised to treat the Team Member’s disability with confidentiality.
NON-HARASSMENT POLICY
Williams Island POA intends to provide a work environment that is pleasant, professional, and free from all forms of harassment based on race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or any condition or status protected by law. Harassment of any sort - verbal, physical, and visual - in the workplace is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. Team Members engaging in such activity will be subject to severe disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Workplace harassment is offensive and can take many forms. It may be, but is not limited to: words, signs, offensive jokes, cartoons, pictures, posters, e-mail jokes or statements, pranks, intimidation, physical assaults or contact, or violence.
Harassment may also take the form of other vocal activity including derogatory statements not directed to the targeted individual but taking place within their hearing. Other prohibited conduct includes written material such as notes, photographs, cartoons, articles of a harassing or offensive nature, and taking retaliatory action against a Team Member for discussing or making a harassment complaint.
Harassment also includes any form of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to: unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature when such conduct creates an offensive, hostile and intimidating working environment which prevents an individual from effectively performing the duties of their position. It also encompasses such conduct when it is made a term or condition of employment or compensation, either implicitly or explicitly or when an employment decision is based on an individual’s acceptance or rejection of such conduct.
Team Members who feel that they have been subject to such prohibited conduct, whether involving fellow Team Members, supervisors/managers, vendors, residents, guests and/or members, should report it to their supervisor/manager or to the Human Resources Director. There will be no reprisal or retaliation against Team Members who report such behavior. An investigation will be conducted and, when warranted, appropriate corrective action will be taken. False allegations are serious acts of misconduct and are subject to disciplinary actions, up to and including termination of employment.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

The purpose of these rules is not to restrict your rights, but rather to be certain that you understand what conduct is expected and necessary. When each person is aware that he/she can fully depend upon coworkers to follow the rules of conduct, our organization will be a better place to work for everyone.
We expect each person to act in a mature and responsible manner at all times. If you have any questions concerning any work or safety rule, or any of the unacceptable activities listed below, please see your supervisor/ manager or Human Resources Director for an explanation.

1. Record of Discussion
2. Written Warning
3. Final Written Warning
4. Suspension (prior approval by Human Resources required)
5. Termination
We reserve the right to omit any of the above steps if circumstances warrant it.
To insure that Williams Island POA’s business is conducted properly and efficiently, you must conform to certain standards of attendance, conduct, work performance and other work rules and regulations. When a problem in these areas does arise, your supervisor/manager will coach and counsel you toward mutually developing an effective solution. If you fail to respond to coaching or counseling, the following procedures will apply:
Step One: Record of Discussion
Your supervisor/manager will meet with you to discuss the problem or violation, making sure that you understand the nature of the problem or violation and the expected remedy. The purpose of this conversation is to remind you of exactly what the rule or performance expectation is and also to remind you that it is your responsibility to meet Williams Island POA’s expectations.
Step Two: Written Warning
If your performance does not improve or if you are again in violation of Williams Island POA’s practices, rules or standards of conduct, your supervisor/manager will discuss the problem with you, emphasizing the seriousness of the issue and the need for immediate behavior modification. During the meeting your supervisor/manager will issue you a disciplinary warning summarizing the discussion and your agreement to change. A copy of the disciplinary warning will be saved in your Human Resources file. (Exhibit E, page 25)
Step Three: Final Written Warning, Suspension, or Termination
Human Resources reserves the right to issue a final written warning, suspend a Team Member or terminate a Team Member.
You may be terminated for poor performance, misconduct, excessive absences, tardiness, discrimination, harassment, or other violations of Williams Island POA policies. However, your employment is at-will; you and Williams Island POA both have the right to terminate your employment for any or no reason.
Any accrued vacation and personal time will be paid out (100%) on the final paycheck of the Team Member unless employment is terminated due to misconduct or job abandonment. Final paychecks are paid on the regularly scheduled payday in the form of a live check.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE POLICY

This English-only policy will provide specific circumstances where Englishonly rules must be observed:
All task directions and work directives will be provided in English and, while Team Members are engaged in such work-related efforts, or on project teams, they will be expected to communicate in English.
All safety, facility and security related materials will be provided in English, and team or departmental meetings that relate to business operations, safety, facility and/or personal security will be expected to be conducted in English.
The use of Company Internet and Intranet, as well as all work-related e-mailing, is expected to be communicated in English, unless member requirements state a preference that another language is used.
English will be used with members unless the member requests the Team Member communicate in a language other than English.
Team Members having concerns or questions regarding these policies should address them with their immediate supervisor/manager or Human Resources Department for resolution.
Team Members violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
Beware: Hazardous Materials

We have a standard of conduct that prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by Team Members on duty on Williams Island site and/or member sites or as a part of Williams Island’s activities, including operating a Williams Island or member/guest vehicle. We will impose disciplinary sanctions on Team Members ranging from educational and rehabilitation efforts up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution for violations of the standards of conduct. Each situation will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

Because We Care!
Voluntary Treatment and Counseling
We encourage Team Members to seek treatment for any dependency problems. We will make every effort to cooperate with that Team Member’s voluntary treatment. It is the responsibility of the Team Member to seek assistance before a drug or alcohol problem leads to work-related issues. All Team Members are required to perform their duties regardless of a person’s participation or lack of participation in a substance abuse program. Team Members that seek treatment for a dependency will not have their job-security jeopardized by this request. If a Leave of Absence is requested and granted then the Leave of Absence Policy guidelines will apply.
Team Member Assistance Program
We care about the health and well-being of our Team Members and recognize that a variety of personal problems can disrupt their personal and work lives. Although Team Members may solve their problems either on their own or with the help of family and friends, sometimes Team Members need professional assistance and advice.
Through the Team Member Assistance Program (TMAP), the Association provides confidential access to professional counseling services for help in confronting such personal problems as alcohol and other substance abuse, marital and family difficulties, financial and legal troubles, and emotional distress. The TMAP is available to all Team Members and their immediate family members offering problem assessment, short-term counseling, and referral to appropriate community and private services.
The TMAP is strictly confidential and is designed to safeguard the Team Member’s privacy and rights. Information given to the TMAP counselor may be released only if requested by the Team Member in writing. All counselors are guided by a Professional Code of Ethics.
Personal information concerning Team Member participation in the TMAP is maintained in a confidential manner. No information related to an Team Member’s participation in the program is entered into the personnel file.
If further counseling is necessary, the TMAP counselor will outline community and private services available. The counselor will also let the Team Member know whether any costs associated with private services may be covered by their medical insurance plan. Costs that are not covered are the responsibility of the Team Member.

SOLICITATION
Distribution of advertising materials, handbills or other literature is prohibited in all working areas at all times. Solicitation and distribution by non-Team Members is prohibited on Williams Island POA premises. Any violation of the policy may result in disciplinary action.
Tread Lightly
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Team Members have an obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest.
Our policy is that Team Members should not have any position, relationship or interest with any person or business, entity or organization which would conflict or appear to conflict with the proper performance of such Team Member’s duties or responsibilities, or which could affect their independence of judgment with respect to transactions between the Williams Island POA and such person, business, entity or organization.
An actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when a Team Member is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that Team Member, or for a relative, as a result of Williams Island POA’s business dealings.
If a Team Member has any influence on transactions involving purchases, contracts or leases, and if there is any actual or potential appearance of a conflict of interest, it is imperative that the Team Member disclose to management, as soon as possible, the relationship or the existence of any actual or potential conflict of inter est so that safeguards can be established to protect all parties.
Supervisors, managers, directors and above may not utilize any Team Member to perform services outside of work for personal matters; this is deemed as unacceptable conduct and represents a risk to Williams Island POA, its property and Team Members.
Team Members are strongly encouraged to avoid conflicts of interest which include living with residents on property in various capacities. Where a Team Member is also an aide to a resident and living on property, the Team Member will have no membership privileges.
Residents of Williams Island may not be employed by Williams Island POA.
NON-FRATERNIZATION
In order to promote efficient business operations and to avoid misunderstandings, complaints of favoritism, other problems of supervision and morale, and the potential for sexual harassment claims, supervisors/managers are restricted from dating or pursuing romantic or sexual relationships with Team Members whom they supervise, directly or indirectly. Supervisors/Managers who violate this policy will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. 1.
Definition of “Direct Reporting Relationship” A Direct Reporting Relationship exists between a Team Member (subordinate) and his/her immediate supervisor/manager.
Definition of “Indirect Reporting Relationship”
a.
An Indirect Reporting Relationship exists between a Team Member (subordinate) and a supervisor/ manager within his/her chain of command or another supervisor/manager within the Team Member’s division (i.e., a Chef and a Server); or
b.
An Indirect Reporting Relationship exists between an Team Member (subordinate) and a supervisor/ manager that has jurisdiction or exercises supervisory authority over that Team Member; or
c.
An Indirect Reporting Relationship exists between two supervisors/managers when one supervisor’s/ manager’s job duties control compensation of another supervisor/manager (i.e., Human Resources Director, Property Manager, Clubs Manager, Controller, etc.)
Take A Few Tips From Us TEAM MEMBER DATING
Company Policy does not prohibit Team Members from dating or entering into consensual romantic relationships with other Team Members, provided:
• Both parties mutually and voluntarily consent to the relationship
• The relationship does not affect judgment or performance of duties of involved Team Members; and
• The relationship does not negatively impact the work environment
• Involved Team Members cannot report to each other as direct supervisors/managers or they will be transferred. We strongly believe that an environment where Team Members maintain clear boundaries between their personal and business interactions is most effective for conducting business. Although this policy does not prohibit the development of friendships or romantic relationships between co-workers, it does establish clear boundaries as to how the relationship takes place during working hours.
During working hours and at work locations, Team Members are expected to keep personal exchanges limited so that others are not distracted or offended by such exchanges. During non-working hours, such as lunches, breaks and before and after work, Team Members are not prohibited from having appropriate personal relationships at work locations as long as their conversations and behaviors could in no way be perceived as offensive or uncomfortable to a reasonable person. The provisions of this policy apply regardless of the sexual orientations of the parties involved. Failure to modify behavior and observe appropriate standards of workplace conduct shall be viewed as a serious disciplinary matter.
Where problems or potential risks resulting from the relationship are identified, the company will work with parties involved to consider options for resolving such problems or potential risks. The initial solution will be to make sure that the parties involved do not work together on matters where one is able to influence the other or take action for the other. Matters such as hiring, firing, promotions, performance management, compensation decisions, financial transactions etc., are examples of situations that may require reallocations of duties to avoid any actual or perceived reward or disadvantage. Failure to resolve problems or potential risks resulting from the relationship may ultimately be deemed insubordination and therefore serve as cause for termination.
In some instances measures such as transfers to other positions or departments may be necessary. The individual with the more senior position will be considered for transfer first to avoid any perception of retaliation against the less senior person. Refusal of reasonable alternative positions, if available, will be deemed a voluntary resignation.
Use It; Don’t Abuse It
USE OF EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES
Equipment and vehicles essential in accomplishing job duties are expensive and may be difficult to replace. When using company property, Team Members are expected to exercise care, perform required maintenance, and follow all operating instructions, safety standards, and guidelines. Team Member use of company equipment or vehicles for personal purposes is prohibited.
Please notify your supervisor/manager if any equipment, machines, tools, or vehicles appear to be damaged, defective, or need repair. Prompt reporting of damages, defects, and the need for repairs could prevent deterioration of equipment and possible injury to Team Members or others. You should also ask your supervisor/ manager any questions you have about your responsibility for maintenance and care of equipment or vehicles used on the job.
The improper, careless, negligent, destructive, or unsafe use or operation of equipment or vehicles will result in disciplinary action and/or payroll deduction for the value of the loss or damage, up to and including termination.
If you are authorized to operate a company vehicle in the course of your assigned work, or if you operate your own vehicle in performing your job, you must adhere to the following rules:
You must have a valid Florida Driver’s license and show proof of insurance, which will be kept in your personnel file
You must maintain weekly mileage reports

COMPENSATION
Show Me The Money COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Compensation Program is approved by the Board of Directors as part of the annual budget process. The Compensation Program includes the minimum and maximum rates of pay for each position. Job descriptions are prepared for each job classification which describe the essential functions, duties and responsibilities of each position. Each position is assigned a range of pay, based upon a market analysis of similar positions in comparable communities. A Team Member progresses through the pay range for their respective position based upon their individual performance.
How Are You Doing? PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
Supervisors/Managers and Team Members are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an informal, day-to-day basis. Performance evaluations are generally conducted in an effort to provide both supervisor/manager and Team Member the opportunity to discuss job tasks, identify weaknesses, encourage strengths, and discuss positive, purposeful approaches for meeting goals. The performance of a Team Member is generally evaluated every twelve (12) months.
Performance-based pay adjustments may be awarded in an effort to recognize Team Member performance. The decision to award such an adjustment is dependent upon numerous factors, including information documented by the performance review process.

VACATION, PTO AND HOLIDAY PAY
Full time (working 40 hours a week on a year long basis) and exempt status (salaried) Team Members accrue vacation/ personal hours based on hours worked (excluding overtime and commission hours). Team Members are allowed to use accrued vacation/personal time after six (6) months of employment:
Full time non-exempt (hourly) Team Members receive three (3) Personal Days per year.
Exempt (salaried) Team Members receive six (6) Personal Days per year.

VACATION
We strongly believe that vacation benefits are important and must be taken. A rested Team Member is more productive and less likely to be involved in accidents. Vacation time allows the Team Member to bring balance to his/her life and mitigate the stress of employment. Accrual is based on tenure.
To take accrued vacation, Team Members must request 2 weeks advance approval from their supervisor/manager. Requests will be reviewed based on a number of factors, including business needs and staffing requirements. Vacation must be scheduled at a minimum of at least four (4) hours. Vacation time off is paid at the Team Member’s base pay rate at the time of vacation. It does not include overtime or any special forms of compensation such as incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials. Paid time off for vacation will not be counted as hours worked for the purpose of determining overtime. Vacation time beyond that which is available to a Team Member will not be advanced; it may be granted as unpaid time off.
We will permit earned vacation time to be accumulated to the following year only if the maximum of the total hours carried forward is eighty (80) hours or less. On December 31st, the excess of eighty (80) hours accrued will be paid out at 100% only if previous vacation requests, during the year, were denied due to business demands.
It’s Just A Question Of When PERSONAL TIME (PTO) ACCRUAL
Non-exempt (Hourly) Team Members who have accrued over twenty-four (24) hours of personal time by December 31st will be paid out 100% of the excess, only if previous PTO requests, during the year, were denied due to business demands.
Exempt (Salaried) Team Members who have accrued over forty-eight (48) hours of personal time by December 31st will be paid out 100% of the excess, only if previous PTO requests, during the year, were denied due to business demands.
Cash Out Team Members have the option to cash out accrued vacation/PTO hours at the time they use vacation/PTO hours. The amount of hours cashed out may not exceed the amount of vacation/PTO time requested. Requests must be submitted in advance and must have prior approval from their supervisor/manager. Payment for vacation/PTO in lieu of actual time off is only available if taken in conjunction with actual vacation/PTO time off. For Example: If the Team Member has accrued 80 hours of vacation, he/she can take 40 hours of vacation time off and cash out 40 hours.
Donating Accrued Time Team Members may donate any accrued vacation/PTO hours to another Team Member in need. The time donated will be paid out to the recipient Team Member at their rate of pay, and those hours will be deducted from the donating Team Member’s accrued balance.

You must be a full-time non-exempt (hourly) Team Member on active payroll for at least ninety (90) continuous days prior to an observed holiday to be eligible for holiday pay. To be paid for a holiday, you must work the regularly scheduled day prior to and following an observed holiday. If an observed holiday falls within a pre-arranged vacation, you will be paid for the holiday and you will not be charged time.
If you are not scheduled to work on the holiday, you will be paid eight (8) hours holiday pay. Holiday pay will be calculated using the number of hours you are regularly scheduled to work times your base rate. If you work on a holiday, the hours you actually work will also be considered in calculating overtime in any given workweek.
Part-time non-exempt (hourly) Team Members, after ninety (90) days of employment, who work on an observed holiday will be paid holiday pay, up to eight (8) hours, in addition to the regular hours worked. You must work the regularly scheduled day prior to and following an observed holiday to be paid the holiday.
HOLIDAY PAY –
For full-time EXEMPT (salaried) Team Members effective upon date of hire
Full-time exempt (salaried) Team Members are, as a condition of their employment status, expected to be available on an “as needed” basis by their supervisors/managers. If this requires you to be available for work on one of the holidays honored, you will receive no additional compensation other than holiday pay.
You will be paid for a holiday, which is preceded or followed by a vacation/personal day only if the vacation/ personal day has been approved by your supervisor/manager.
Duty Calls
JURY DUTY/WITNESS DUTY
We comply with all federal, state and local laws regarding jury duty. If you receive a summons for jury duty, you are to notify your supervisor/manager promptly so that arrangements can be made for your absence.

BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
Full-time Team Members who have completed ninety (90) days of continuous employment and who experience a death in their immediate family are granted up to five (5) consecutive scheduled workdays (40 hours) off with bereavement pay, for the purposes of making the necessary family adjustments and arrangements, thus allowing you to attend services or handle other matters associated with the funeral. Remember, you must follow the call-in procedure described in the Time and Attendance Policy.
Circumstances and events may sometimes require additional days off. Any additional time off requires the approval of your supervisor/manager and will be deducted from your accrued vacation/personal time. Williams Island POA requires verification of the loss and relationship to the deceased (i.e. the announcement) be submitted to Human Resources, for which bereavement pay is requested. Bereavement pay will not be considered in calculating overtime for any workweek.

Regular full-time Team Members are eligible to take up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid Family/Medical Leave (FMLA) within any twelve (12) month period and be restored to the same or an equivalent position upon return from Leave provided they: (1) have worked for an otherwise covered worksite employer for at least twelve (12) months, (2) have worked for at least 1,250 hours in the last twelve (12) months, and (3) are employed at a worksite that has 50 or more team members within 75 miles from the location from which such Team Member was assigned. A “rolling” twelve (12) month period measured backwards from the date you take Leave will be used for computing the period within which the twelve (12) weeks of Leave may be taken. If you and your spouse both work for Employer, the maximum amount of Family/Medical Leave available to you and your spouse for reasons (1) and (2) below is a combined total of twelve (12) weeks. If you live in a state, county, or city which provides more generous benefits, you will be given those benefits.
Reasons for Leave
WI logo can print Black/PMS 2965 or KO (white) on above.
WI logo can print Black/ PMS 2965 with light photo; KO (white) from dark photo
You may take Family/Medical Leave for any of the following reasons: (1) the birth of a son or daughter and to care for such son or daughter; (2) the placement of a son or daughter with you for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed son or daughter; (3) to care for a spouse, son, daughter or parent (“covered relation”) with a serious health condition; or (4) because of your own serious health condition which renders you unable to perform an essential function of your position. Leave because of reasons (1) or (2) must be completed within the twelve (12) month period beginning on the date of birth or placement; (5) for qualifying exigencies arising out of the fact that the Team Member’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent is on active duty or called to active duty status as a member of the National Guard or Reserves in support of a contingency operation.
A covered employer also must grant an eligible Team Member who is a spouse, son, daughter, parent, or nextof-kin of a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, with a serious injury or illness up to a total of twenty-six (26) work weeks of unpaid leave during a “single twelve (12)-month period” to care for the service member.
Notice of Leave
PMS 2965/PMS 1245 ground
Sans Sm Caps
To request Leave, you must notify the Human Resources Department. You should give thirty (30) days prior written notice, or as much advance written notice as possible, to your supervisor/manager. However, if it appears that you may be absent due to a FMLA-qualified event or serious health condition, Williams Island POA may, but is not required to, preliminarily designate your time off as Family/Medical Leave, pending the receipt of documentation from you. Failure to provide requested Family/Medical Leave documentation and certification within the time limits provided will result in Williams Island POA making a determination on your Leave status without such documentation. Williams Island POA may delay or deny Leave, demand that you return to work, treat absences as unauthorized time off subjecting you to discipline up to and including termination, and/or discontinue your Family/Medical Leave.
Sans Sm Caps Bd.
Medical Certification
If you are requesting Family/Medical Leave for a serious health condition, you and the relevant healthcare provider must supply an appropriate Medical Certification. Whenever possible, the Medical Certification should be supplied before the leave begins. Further, Williams Island POA may, at no expense to you, require an examination by a second healthcare provider designated by Williams Island POA. If the second healthcare provider’s opinion conflicts with the original Medical Certification, Williams Island POA may, at no expense to you, require a third, mutually agreeable, healthcare provider to conduct an examination and provide a final and binding opinion. Williams Island POA may require a subsequent Medical Recertification. Failure to provide requested Medical Certification within fifteen (15) days, if such is practicable, may result in delay of further Leave until such Medical Certification is provided, and/or may subject you to discipline up to and including termination for excessive absenteeism or for taking unauthorized leave.
While On Leave
If you take Leave because of your own serious health condition, or to care for a covered relation, you must contact your supervisor/manager on the first day of each month regarding (a) the status of your condition, (b) your intention to return to work, and (c) to report how you are progressing. In addition, you must give notice to your supervisor/manager as soon as reasonably possible (within two [2] business days, if feasible) if the dates of Leave change, are extended or initially were unknown.
Intermittent and Reduced Schedule Leave
Leave because of a serious health condition may be taken intermittently (in separate blocks of time due to a single health condition) or on a reduced leave schedule (reducing the usual number of hours you work each workday) if medically necessary. You will receive your current rate of pay for hours worked and time spent working will not count against your available Family/Medical Leave. In addition, while you are on an intermittent or reduced schedule leave, we may temporarily transfer you to an available alternative position which better accommodates your recurring leave and which has equivalent pay and benefits.
Leave is Unpaid
Family/Medical Leave is unpaid Leave. Pay that will end during Leave includes all forms of compensation paid by employer to you, including but not limited to wages, bonuses, commissions and discounts. You are required to use any accrued paid time off for the applicable Family/Medical Leave, unless you are currently receiving workers’ compensation benefits. Family/Medical Leave does not affect your eligibility, if any, for short or long term disability payments and/or workers’ compensation benefits under those insurance plans.
Returning From Leave
When you are able to return to work following Leave because of your own serious health condition, you should attempt to provide at least one (1) week’s notice by providing your supervisor/manager with a doctor referral stating that you are able to resume work. You must make sure that this notice is received no later than two (2) business days before your return to work at the conclusion of your Leave. If your Family/Medical Leave resulted from a workers’ compensation injury, your healthcare provider may send an Updated Medical Work Status Form to your Case Manager as soon as your return to work date is known, even if less than two (2) business days before your return to work date.

Team Members who are victims of domestic violence may take Leave to seek an injunction for protection or obtain services from a medical professional or victim-services organization.
Coverage
Team Members must have worked for Williams Island POA for at least ninety (90) days.
Reasons for Leave
Team Members who are victims of domestic violence or sexual violence are entitled to take Leave for one or more of the following reasons:
To obtain and receive medical and/or dental assistance for a medical and/or dental problem resulting from domestic or repeat violence, including obtaining such services for the Team Member’s dependent children;
To obtain and receive legal assistance relating to domestic or repeat violence, including but not limited to criminal prosecution, a protective order, divorce, custody of children and child support;
To attend court appearances relating to domestic or repeat violence, including but not limited to criminal prosecution, protective order, divorce, custody of children and child support;
To attend counseling or support services, including counseling or support services for dependent children;
Any other arrangements necessary to provide for the safety and well-being of a Team Member subject to domestic or repeat violence.
Leave Amount
Team Members can take up to thirty (30) working days of unpaid Domestic Violence Leave in any twelve (12) month period. Domestic Violence Leave may be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule. However, if a Team Member requests intermittent leave or reduced leave that is foreseeable based on a planned schedule, the employer may require such Team Member to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position for which the Team Member is qualified and that has equivalent pay and benefits to better accommodate recurring periods of Leave.
A Team Member who is a family or household member of a victim of domestic violence may also take Domestic Violence Leave for any one or more of the reasons listed above, but Leave may only be taken for up to three (3 ) working days in any twelve (12) month period. “Family or household member” includes spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons residing together as a family, and parents – regardless of whether
Team Members must provide appropriate advance notice along with sufficient documentation of the act of domestic violence or sexual violence, if required, to Human Resources. All information related to Team Members’
Pay and Benefits
Domestic Violence Leave is unpaid. Domestic Violence Leave may be taken in addition to Family Medical Leave. Team Members are required to exhaust all available annual, vacation, personal, or sick leave before taking Domestic Violence Leave.
Any eligible Team Member who takes Domestic Violence Leave shall return from Leave and be entitled to:
• Restoration to the position of employment held by the Team Member when Leave commenced; or
• Restoration to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employment.
The taking of Leave shall not result in the loss of any employment benefits accrued prior to the date on which the leave commenced.
Restored Team Members, however, are not entitled to:
• The accrual of any seniority or employment benefits during any period of Leave; or
• Any right, benefit, or position of employment other than any right, benefit or position to which the Team Member would have been entitled had the Team Member not taken Leave.
Team Members on Leave must report periodically on their status and intention to return to work.
During any period when the eligible Team Member takes Leave, the company shall maintain coverage under the group health plan the Team Member participates in for the duration of such Leave. However, the company may recover the premium that the company paid for maintaining coverage for the Team Member under such group health plan during any period of unpaid Leave if:
• The Team Member fails to return from Leave after the period of Leave to which the Team Member is entitled has expired; or
• The Team Member fails to return to work for a reason other than continuance or recurrence of domestic or repeat violence or other circumstances beyond the control of the Team Member.
When You’re Not Able
SHORT TERM DISABILITY/LONG TERM DISABILITY
Williams Island defines a disability as an illness or injury, more serious than a minor sickness, which prevents a Team Member from performing his or her job and causes an absence of more than fourteen (14) calendar days. See the literature on disabilities provided by the Human Resources Department for information on disability pay. Disability benefits do not accrue and there is not a payout for unused disability benefits.
Island defines a disability as an illness or injury, more serious a minor which prevents a Team Member from performing his or her job and causes an absence of more than fourteen (14) calendar days. Disability benefits do not accrue and there is not a payout for unused disability benefits. Team Members must consistently work a minimum of 30 hours per week to be eligible.
We Appreciate Your Service MILITARY LEAVE
A Military Leave of Absence will be granted to Team Members in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Advance notice of military service is required, unless military necessity prevents such notice or it is otherwise impossible or unreasonable.
The Leave will be unpaid, but Team Members may use any available paid time off for the absence. Notice to Human Resources is required.
Continuation of health insurance benefits is available as required by USERRA based on the length of Leave and subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans for which the Team Member is otherwise eligible.
The accrual of vacation and sick leave benefits will be suspended during Military Leave and will resume upon the Team Member’s return to active employment. Team Members on Military Leave for up to thirty (30) days are required to return to work for the first regularly scheduled shift after the end of service, allowing reasonable travel time.
Team Members on extended Military Leave must apply for reemployment in accordance with USERRA and all applicable state laws.
Team Members returning from Military Leave will be placed in the position they would have attained had they remained continuously employed or a comparable position depending on the length of military service in accordance with USERRA. They will be treated as though they were continuously employed for purposes of determining benefits based upon length of service.
You are expected to notify your supervisor/manager as soon as you are aware of the dates you will be on duty so that arrangements can be made for replacement during this absence.
We’ll Help You Through PERSONAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE
(Those not covered under the Family/Medical Leave Act)
Full-time and part-time Team Members, who have completed ninety (90) days of employment, may request a Personal Leave of Absence for reasons other than those covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act. Your supervisor/manager, at his/her discretion, may grant a Personal Leave of Absence for up to thirty (30) days, or deny your request. If granted a Personal Leave of Absence, you will not be guaranteed reinstatement of employment.
The accumulation of your vacation/personal time will be suspended during a Personal Leave of Absence. The Team Member must pay Williams Island POA in advance for insurance premiums due for the duration of Leave. You must use vacation/personal time during your Personal Leave of Absence; however, your Absence will be considered to have begun on the date you requested your Leave of Absence to begin.
If you do not return to work or contact the Human Resources Department on the date that has been approved, we will assume that you have resigned. As a result, you will be considered as having resigned on the first day of your Leave. This also applies if you accept employment elsewhere during your Leave.
Desired Leave dates shall be requested on a Status Change Form using the following procedure:
1. Obtain management approval on the Status Change Form for the desired dates at least two (2) weeks in advance
2. Submit the approved Status Change Form to the Human Resources Department
3. You will receive a copy of the form approved by the Human Resources Department as verification that your Personal Leave of Absence Request has been recorded
Don’t Lose It!
INSURANCE PREMIUM PAYMENT DURING LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Williams Island will continue to pay its share of insurance premiums for Team Member coverage and dependent coverage for a maximum of three (3) months or twelve (12) weeks, while you are on a Disability/Leave of Absence. You must make arrangements to pay your share of the health plan premiums while on Leave. While you are on any other type of unpaid Leave of Absence, you will be responsible for paying the total premiums for your coverage and that of your dependents. Failure to do so may result in loss of coverage and possible refusal by the insurance carrier to allow your coverage to be reinstated. Please consult with the Payroll Department to set up a payment schedule.

UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE TUITION REIMBURSEMENT/EDUCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
In order to encourage Team Members to continuously improve their efficiency and skills, we have implemented this Program. The Program will provide tuition reimbursement for college-degreed programs up to $1,200.00 per year to all full-time Team Members, with at least one (1) year of continuous employment. These funds are allocated by the Human Resources Department.
The content, title, and subject should be related to the Team Member’s area of responsibility, position or reasonable career development pursuits. In any event, the authorization of such courses must be approved, in advance, by the Human Resources Director.
The following would justify eligibility:
1. To have completed one (1) year of continuous employment and be a full-time Team Member
2. To obtain approval in advance from the Human Resources Director
Any Team Member who receives a grade of “D” or below, or an incomplete, will not be eligible for reimbursement. If you leave within one (1) year of date of tuition reimbursement, you must reimburse Williams Island POA the full amount of tuition
Certifications
Team Members completing certification courses related to position-specific skills and training are reimbursable through their individual Department. Prior approval is required by the Department Director, as these funds are allocated by each Department’s budget.
Any course taken by a Team Member at the request of management is considered hours worked and will be paid. Reimbursement shall be made upon proof of the successful completion of the course(s), together with the receipt of fees paid.
Follow The Yellow Brick Road TRAINING AND TRAVEL
The attendance by full-time Team Members of training programs which have immediate job-related benefits is considered working time. Approval of any training request is subject to the availability of funds in the appropriate department budget.
Team Members attending a training function requiring travel expenses must complete an Estimated Travel Request which must be approved by their supervisor/manager. Upon completion of the training function, the Team Member must submit additional expenditure receipts or reimburse the company within five (5) days for any overestimated expenses.
We will assume the cost of registration, lodging, travel, and other incidental expenses. Reimbursement of travel expenses shall be for the least expensive and most practical, whenever possible. When attending a training function which requires use of the Team Member’s personal vehicle, the Team Member shall be reimbursed at the mileage rate then in effect.
When travel is completed, Team Members should submit completed Travel Expense Reports within thirty (30) days. Reports shall be accompanied by receipts for all individual expenses.
Abuse of this Training and Travel Policy, including falsifying expense reports to reflect costs not incurred, are grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

SAFETY
Danger Zone
We are committed to the safety and health of all Team Members and recognize the need to comply with regulations governing injury and accident prevention and Team Member safety.
Any suspected unsafe conditions and all injuries that occur on the job must be reported immediately. Compliance with these safety rules is considered a condition of employment. Therefore, it is a requirement that each supervisor/manager make the safety of Team Members an integral part of his/her regular supervisory/ management functions. It is the responsibility of each Team Member to accept and follow established safety regulations and procedures.
We strongly encourage you to communicate with your supervisor/manager regarding safety issues.
Ouch! Tell Us About It
REPORTING SAFETY ISSUES
All accidents, injuries, potential safety hazards, safety suggestions and health and safety related issues must be reported immediately to your supervisor/manager. If you or another Team Member are injured, you should contact outside emergency response agencies, if needed. If an injury does not require medical attention, a Team Member Report of Accident must still be completed in case medical treatment is later needed and to insure that any existing safety hazards are corrected.
Please contact your supervisor/manager and the security supervisor on duty immediately after accident or injury has occurred.
A drug test will be performed on all work-related injured Team Members. If the test results are “positive” for illegal drugs which the Team Member does not possess a prescription for in his/her name, the Team Member will be terminated from employment and eligible for rehire after one (1) year from date of “positive” drug test.
Coming And Going
At the time you are hired, you will be advised about the proper entrances and exits for Team Members, as well as unauthorized areas, if any. You are expected to abide by this rule at all times. Failure to do so will lead to
We cannot be and are not responsible for any loss, theft or damage to your vehicle or any of its contents.
Not Here, You Don’t! WEAPONS
We believe it is important to establish a clear policy that addresses weapons in the workplace. Specifically, Williams Island POA prohibits all persons who enter the property from carrying a handgun, firearm, knife, or other prohibited weapon of any kind regardless of whether the person is licensed to carry the weapon or not.
The only exception to this policy will be police officers, security guards or other persons who have been given written consent to carry a weapon on the property.
Any Team Member disregarding this policy will be subject to immediate termination.
Play It Safe FIRE PREVENTION
It is your responsibility to know the location of the fire extinguisher(s) in your area and make sure they are kept clear at all times. Notify your supervisor/manager if an extinguisher is used or if the seal is broken. Keep in mind that extinguishers that are rated ABC can be used for paper, wood, or electrical fires. Make sure all flammable liquids, such as alcohol, are stored in approved and appropriately labeled safety cans and are not exposed to any ignition source.
Another Time, Another Place VISITORS IN THE WORKPLACE
To provide for the safety and security of Team Members and the facilities, only authorized visitors are allowed in the workplace. Restricting unauthorized visitors helps maintain safety standards, protects against theft, ensures security of equipment, protects confidential information, safeguards Team Member welfare, and avoids potential distractions and disturbances. If you are expecting visitors, such as clients, guests or friends, please notify your supervisor/manager.
Team Members are responsible for the conduct and safety of their visitors.
If an unauthorized individual is observed on the premises, Team Members should immediately notify their supervisor/manager or direct the individual to the POA Office.
Respect And Care VIOLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE
It is our intent to provide a safe workplace for Team Members and to provide a comfortable and secure atmosphere for customers and others with whom we do business. We have zero tolerance for violent acts or threats of violence.
We have adopted a policy prohibiting workplace violence. Consistent with this policy, acts or threats of physical violence, including intimidation, abusive language, threatening gestures, physical altercations, harassment, and/or coercion, which occur on Williams Island property, will not be tolerated. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment and/or legal action as appropriate.
Team Members within the company share the responsibility in the identification and alleviation of threatening or violent behaviors. Any Team Member who is subjected to or threatened with violence, or who is aware of another individual who has been subjected to or threatened with violence, should immediately report this information to their supervisor/manager. Team Members must assume that any threat is serious. If you as an individual feel threatened and need protection, do not hesitate to report the situation to a supervisor/manager. Any threat reported to a supervisor/manager should be brought to the attention of the Human Resources Department. Human Resources will carefully investigate all reports and Team Member confidentiality will be maintained to the fullest extent possible.
