16 4.8 Use of Employer Credit Cards All employees in the possession of a credit card issued by New England Security will adhere to the strictest guidelines of responsibility for the protection and proper use of that card. Credit card purchases related to Company vehicle use (gas, oil, etc.) under $500 do not require prior approval. Credit card purchases over $500 must receive prior approval from your Manager. Submit all sales receipts generated by use of the Company credit card on the 15th of every month to your Manager or you may leave in accounts payable mailbox located in the mailroom of the Malden HQ. Your Company credit card may not be used for personal reasons. Use of the Company credit card is restricted to approved business related expenses. Any unauthorized purchases made with a credit card issued by the Company will be the cardholder's responsibility. You must reimburse any such purchase to the Company within 30 days. Immediately report lost or stolen Company cards to your Manager. Failure to follow this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. 4.9 Workday/Workweek New England Security's workweek runs from Sunday (00:00) to Saturday (23:59). Employees may be required to come in early, work late, or work overtime from time to time, depending on various factors, such as workloads, staffing needs, and special projects. Wages are paid on a bi-weekly basis. Payday occurs on the Friday following the close of a pay cycle. 5.0 Performance, Discipline, Layoff, and Termination 5.1 Criminal Activity/Arrests New England Security will report all criminal activity in accordance with applicable law. Involvement in criminal activity while employed by the Company, whether on or off Company property, may result in disciplinary action including suspension or termination of employment. You are expected to be on the job, ready to work, when scheduled. Inability to report to work as scheduled may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, for violation of an attendance policy or job abandonment. 5.2 Disciplinary Process Violation of New England Security's policies or procedures may result in disciplinary action, including demotion, transfer, leave without pay, or termination of employment. The Company encourages a system of progressive discipline depending on the type of prohibited conduct. However, the Company is not required to engage in progressive discipline and may discipline or terminate employees who violate the rules of conduct, or where the quality or value of their work fails to meet expectations at any time. Again, any attempt at progressive discipline does not imply that your employment is anything other than on an "at-will" basis consistent with applicable law. Note that the specific terms of your employment relationship, including termination procedures, are governed by the laws of the state in which you are employed.
