Regular attendance and punctuality by employees are essential in maintaining high levels of professionalism, productivity, and allows everyone to perform at their best, ensuring the achievement of company and departmental goals. However, we recognize that employees occasionally become ill, need time off from work, or are unavoidably late. The purpose of this policy is to ensure employees provide notice of such absences (refer to company time and attendance policy regarding the proper process for providing notice).
An unauthorized absence occurs when the employee does not follow the Time and Attendance Policy regarding notification of absence. The employee has not properly notified that he or she will be late or absent in accordance with the Company Time and Attendance Policy. Points will be assessed for un- authorized absences, tardiness, or late arrivals as described below.
Absent – missing one or more consecutive scheduled workdays for a single reason or arriving more than two hours after the scheduled starting time.
Tardy – arriving 3 to 14 minutes after the scheduled shift start time
Late – arriving between 15 minutes and two hours after the scheduled shift start time
Points will accumulate and remain in effect for 12 months after they are issued. For example, if you are issued 1 point on Dec 30th, 2022, then on Dec 30th, 2023 that 1 point will expire and no longer be included in your cumulative totals. Other points will remain active until they expire and continue to be subject to disciplinary actions as outlined in this document. If an employee works at multiple locations, points will accrue in combination, regardless of which location the points initially accrued.

Stage 1: Service Fundamentals - Starting point for all employees = 1 point Table number & seat number test = 1 point Visual food test = 1 point
Visual drinks test = 1 point
Practical table setting (reset 3 tables without guidance within a maximum of 15 minutes) = no point awarded – required to pass before proceeding to stage 2.
**All new hires for position of server or server in training must successfully pass all stage 1 tests within 14 days of their start date.
Spirits and Cocktails = 1 point Wine by the glass test = 1 point Food menu test = 1 point

Total available points: 3 – on successful completion you will assume captain roll and uniform change. Black suit to be approved by general manager.
Upon successful completion of each of the first 3 tests, the total points accrued are effective immediately and applied to your next work day. All subsequent points for the following tests are effective on the following Saturday of the date the test was first administered.
Longevity points are valued at 0.25 points and awarded for every 310 days worked. Seasonal employees must complete their contract in full to earn longevity points. If an employee terminates their employment, does not fulfill their first-year contract, or goes on an unauthorized leave of absence, then any earned longevity points to date are forfeited. As long as criteria is met, the longevity points will carry over into each contract term. For example, if an H2B employee only works 10 months (274 days) consecutively in accordance with their contact, they will need 36 additional days worked upon their return at next season, before this is earned.
Total points awarded to an employee cannot exceed 12 points. Longevity points are applicable until an employee reaches a maximum of 11.5 points.
A twenty-two percent service charge is mandatory on all guest checks and must not be removed under any circumstances. One hundred percent of this service charge is used to compensate employees on the specific date the service charge is paid by guest. Service charge is calculated daily and distributed amongst all positions. A maximum of 10 hours per day are applicable for service charge calculations. Eighteen percent of service charge is distributed to all eligible front of house employees determined by individual points earned and total hours worked on that date. Four percent of service charge is distributed as a discretionary bonus to culinary employees. The company reserves the right to pay service charge separately, via salary or apply to hourly pay. If a guest decides to leave additional gratuity, 80% is kept by the direct server of the table and 20% is distributed amongst the support team based on how many hours they have worked on that particular shift.
Note all returning H2B employees will start with the same points they have accomplished from the prior season. Employee will have 14 days to re-take stage 2 & stage 3 tests to keep the same level of points. If not passed, employee will lose the applicable points until they successfully retake tests.
The company reserves the right to cap the total amount of hours worked that are eligible for service charge in a work day.
***All employees should be aware that operations manager may deduct two points from any server not always following the Steps of Service SOP. First a verbal warning will be issued, followed by a written warning, followed by a final written warning and then written advice of deduction of two points. In the occasion of point deduction employee will have to successfully re-set both written steps of service and mock test in order reinstate their points***
***All employees should be aware that cheating will not be tolerated. If an employee is discovered to be using any personal notes or study materials in any format or verbally discussing any relative information with another employee, while the test is administered, they will immediately be reduced by 2 points and will be suspended from taking any tests for 30 days.
