New England Security Employee Handbook 2025

58 Wage and Hour Policies Accommodations for Nursing Mothers New England Security will provide nursing mothers reasonable unpaid break time to express milk for their infant child(ren) for up to one year following the child's birth. If you are nursing, you will be provided with a space, other than a restroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public. Expressed milk can be stored in company refrigerators or in a personal cooler. Sufficiently mark or label your milk to avoid confusion for other employees who may share the refrigerator. Break time should, if possible, be taken concurrently with any other break time already provided. If you are nonexempt, clock out for any time taken that does not run concurrently with normally scheduled rest periods. You must make reasonable efforts to not disrupt Company operations. You are encouraged to discuss the length and frequency of these breaks with your Manager. Meal and Rest Periods New England Security strives to provide a safe and healthy work environment and complies with all federal and state regulations regarding meal and rest periods. [[If it is not feasible for employees to eat while doing their jobs, and they are not allowed to eat while doing their jobs, add the following language: The Company will provide any employees working more than five consecutive hours an unpaid break of at least 30 minutes.]] Check with your Manager regarding procedures and schedules for rest and meal breaks. The Company requests that employees accurately observe and record meal and rest periods. If you know in advance that you may not be able to take your scheduled break or meal period, let your Manager know; in addition, notify your Manager as soon as possible if you were unable to or prohibited from taking a meal or rest period. Overtime If you are nonexempt, you may qualify for overtime pay. All overtime must be approved in advance, in writing, by your Manager. At certain times New England Security may require you to work overtime. We will attempt to give as much notice as possible in this instance. However, advance notice may not always be possible. Failure to work overtime when requested or working unauthorized overtime may result in discipline, up to and including discharge. Unless otherwise required or exempted by law, overtime pay of one and one-half times your regular rate of pay is paid for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek. Holidays, vacation days, and sick leave days do not count as time worked for computing overtime. Pay Period At New England Security, the standard pay period is [[weekly or biweekly; less frequently if approved by the Labor Commission]] for all employees. Pay dates are [[insert day or dates]]. If a pay date falls on a holiday, you will be paid on [[the preceding workday]]. [[If a pay date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, you will be paid on [the preceding Friday].]] Special provisions may be required from time to time if holidays fall on pay dates. Check with your Manager if this type of date arises. [[Insert other special circumstances here, if applicable, or revise
