If you forget to clock in or out for any reason, tell the Business Office Director as soon as possible. Overtime for hourly team members is paid at one and a half times your regular rate of pay for any hours beyond the normal 40 hours, 7-day period. Paychecks or pay stubs are distributed every other Friday. All team members have the option to use direct deposit. Deductions from your paycheck will include those that are mandatory (federal income tax withholding, social security tax and Medicare tax) and any you authorize such as insurance premiums. The Community will comply with all laws that pertain to payroll, including garnishments. ## Rate of pay and pay increases The Arbor Company will administer its salary and wage and hour policies in accordance with federal and state labor laws. The Community reserves the right to establish pay plans based on earnings, performance and team member performance appraisals. The Arbor Company salary increases are not guaranteed and are based upon overall community performance, your job performance during the prior year, as well as your ability to live up to the Arbor Service Vision. Salary increases are not based on seniority and they are not automatic. Salary adjustments are at the sole discretion of the Company. We do not guarantee that you will receive a pay increase at any specific time or in any specific amount. Any and all incentive or bonus payments are at the sole discretion of the Company and may be modified, altered or canceled at the sole discretion of the employer with or without notice to the affected team members. ## Performance reviews The Arbor Company reserves the right to conduct performance reviews at any time. Your supervisor may conduct periodic evaluations to review your work performance, attendance and overall contribution to the Community. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
