New England Security Employee Handbook 2025

13 If an employee needs to be absent, to be late or to leave work early (for purposes that are permissible under the earned sick time law), the employee must give advance notice via phone to his or her dispatcher on-duty, except in an emergency. If the absence is foreseeable (for example, if the employee will be absent to attend a previously scheduled appointment), the employee must provide up to seven days' advance notice, unless the employee learns of the need to use earned sick time within a shorter period of time. If the absence is not foreseeable, the employee must provide notice to his or her supervisor at least 8 hours before the start of the employee's shift. If 8 hours' notice is not reasonable due to an accident or sudden illness, notice must be provided as soon as practicable. If an employee is going to be absent on multiple days, the employee or the employee's surrogate (e.g., spouse, adult family member or other responsible party) must provide notice of the expected duration of the leave or, if unknown, provide notice of continuing absence on a daily basis, unless the circumstances make such notice unreasonable. 4.2 Direct Deposit New England Security encourages all employees to enroll in direct deposit. If you would like to take advantage of direct deposit, please utilize the self-service features of www.paychexflex.com to update your banking details. Typically, the bank will begin the direct deposit of your payroll within 30 calendar days after you submit your completed application. If you have selected the direct deposit payroll service, a written explanation of your deductions will be given to you on paydays described in the preceding sections in lieu of a check. 4.3 Employment Classifications The Company designates all employees as either exempt or nonexempt in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law: • Exempt Employees. Exempt employees are generally paid a fixed salary and are not entitled to overtime pay. • Nonexempt Employees. Nonexempt employees are entitled to minimum wage and overtime pay. The Company also assigns each employee to one of the following categories: • Regular Full-Time Employees. Regular full-time employees are normally scheduled to work at least 30 hours per workweek, except for approved time off. • Regular Part-Time Employees. Regular part-time employees are normally scheduled to work 29 hours or less per workweek. • Temporary/Seasonal Employees. Temporary employees are generally hired on a temporary or project-specific basis, with either full- or part-time hours. Seasonal employees are hired on a temporary basis during a time of year when extra work is available. Temporary/seasonal employees are not eligible for most Company benefits. You will be informed of your classification, status, and responsibilities at the time of hire and at any time your classification, status, or responsibilities change.
