Earthwise Excavation
COMPANY POLICIES
Since its inception
in 1987, Earthwise Excavation has built a reputation for
service, innovation, and workmanship. We also strive to follow the path
of an
evolutionary corporation with sustainable business practices, employee
ownership,
community and philanthropic involvement. Customarily business and corporate
ideologies have viewed environmentalism as a threat to the bottom line.
We regard
the sustainability imperative as an opportunity to gain competitive advantage,
reduce costs, increase employee and customer loyalty, and stimulate greater
innovation while improving the health of both the planet and people.
For your information
we have listed some of the steps we have taken in our path
towards carbon neutrality.
BIODIESEL
Biodiesel is a domestically
produced alternative fuel that can be made from any fat
or vegetable oil. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine with few
if any
modifications and has achieved a full national standard. (ASTM D6751)
100% Biodiesel
reduces Hydrocarbon output by 67%, Carbon Monoxide by 48%, and particulate
matter by
47%. When you combine these emission benefits with 100% reductions in
other air
toxins and potential cancer causing compounds, biodiesel is a very positive
step.
Currently in Washington State there are few retail outlets with B100's
average cost
at $3.00 gallon. 100% Biodiesel does at this time have a higher gel factor,
meaning
that temperatures below freezing will thicken the fuel possibly causing
fuel filter
problems. We have not experienced any difficulties.
Our biodiesel program
has us using 30% biodiesel during winter months mixed with
Ultra Low Sulfur diesel and switching over to B100 during the remaining
months. We
currently are Washington States largest consumer of Biodiesel with our
entire fleet
of on and off road machinery using biodiesel.
Supporting cleaner air, your health, our farmers, and sustainability.
GREEN POWER
Green power generally
refers to electricity supplied in whole or part from renewable
resources, such as wind and solar, geothermal, various forms of biomass,
and
landfill gas. By choosing to purchase a green power product, support is
given to
increased development of renewable energy sources, which can reduce the
burning of
fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and oil. Greater reliance on
renewable
energy sources also provides economic benefits and can improve our national
security.
To this effect we
have enrolled in Snohomish Counties Public Utility Districts
Planet Power program. Today 100% of our electricity now comes from the
Stateline and
Condon wind farms. There is a cost increase of $3.00 per 150kilo-watt
hour. We
combined this program with a conservation plan consisting of switching
to energy
efficient lighting, employee awareness programs, and a review of energy
uses
FSC Certification
Some areas of underground
work use wood products for construction and design. The
majority of our use stems from the construction of sandfilters where plywood
and two
by fours are used for initial support and protection of the sandfilter
liner. In the
normal course of business 2000 sheets of plywood and 5000 two by fours
are used per
year.
We use Forest Stewardship
Certified wood which comes from sustainabily harvested
forests. The forest and harvesting operations are independently certified
through
the FSC. The availability is still scarce meaning approximate 30% increase
in costs.
As demand increases so will availability lowering costs by 15%. This step
protects
forests and watersheds with increased buffer zones and decreased harvesting
rates.
NIMH POWER
In the course of regular business we use batteries for flashlights, pagers,
two way
radios, lazer leveling transit's and receivers. Over 400 plus batteries
a year have
been eliminated from the landfills due to our implementation of rechargeables.
We
use top quality nickel metal hydride (Nimh) batteries which give extra
life and are
ecologically friendlier.
The Nimh batteries
are designed for effective recycling and provide longer charge/
recharge cycles. They do not contain mercury, cadmium, lead, sulfuric
acid or
arsenic, all highly toxic materials. The initial cost of purchase is substantially
higher but with over 100 plus charge cycles the savings are substantial.
Let alone
the savings in environmental degradation.
It is still difficult
to find the high quality Nimh batteries due to the industries
continued attempts at doing business as usual. Save yourself money and
stop using
highly toxic materials by switching over to Nimh rechageables.
MINUMUM 9% NET TO CONSERVATION
A minimum of nine
percent of our net profit is directed towards Northwest area
conservation programs. The Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, the Cascadia
Forest
Alliance, the Surfrider Foundation, the Friends of the Trees along with
sponsorship
of yearly conservation messages broadcast during drive times on business
radio 770
KNWX are some of directions that we have routed these funds. Conservation
and the
wisdom of erring on the side of caution serve as a backbone for our philanthropic
direction.
Permaculture land
design, Workplace recycle programs, Oil water separators, Oil
spill kits, Stop work oil leak programs, Repair and rebuild preferences,
Materials
sourcing programs, lessening toxins and increasing recycled materials,
are some of
our other programs.
At Earthwise Excavation
we are committed to doing business in a different way. We
have provided superior excavation services to the Puget Sound region while
at the
same time promoted social and environmental causes. We feel strongly that
businesses
must take the lead by "inventing a future" that gives our children
a chance to enjoy
a healthy environment. Our activism around this philosophy has taken many
forms
including campaigns to reduce global warming, promote conservation and
support
organic farming. All these efforts have been bolstered by our own commitments
to
reduce energy use, waste and emissions. We have discovered what may have
been known
- that it feels good to do good, and that doing good work enhances our
company's
success.
It may seem odd the
combination, excavation and sustainability, but this is the
front line of development. It is rewarding to know how many places we
have been able
to save simply due to the fact that we offer an alternative to the standard
"clear
and haul" mindset. We are hoping to raise the awareness of sustainable
business
practices so we ask that you become aware of these programs and share
with our
customers. We offer a full range of excavation services and complete septic
system
servicing.
We feel that in our
effort to provide superior excavation services to the Puget
Sound area, we need the assistance of fine individuals such as your self.
In the
effort to " put everybody on the same page", we have produced
this guide outlining
some of the basic tenents of this path.
Employee benefits
A. Health Insurance
An employee becomes
eligible for medical, dental, vision, chiropractic, and
preventative care insurance after three months employment. It is your
responsibility
to complete all required paperwork to be eligible for enrollment.
B. Paid Vacation
An employee becomes
eligible for one week paid vacation after a year's employment
based on the calendar year. Each consecutive year of employment will add
one
eight-hour day. Incomplete calendar years will be prorated. (Example;
employee's
employment begins in April and at the end of the year, they are eligible
for 75% of
a forty hour week which is 30 hours.)
a.. Paid birthdays
After one year of employment and if your birthday falls on a workday,
Tuesday
through Friday, you will receive 10 hours bonus pay.
b.. Paid holidays
After one year of employment you will be enrolled in the holiday program.
Each year starting
in 2003 there will be one paid holiday added each year for
five years. These holidays will be calculated as 10-hour days. The first
paid
holiday will be Christmas 2003.
c.. Double time
Any hours exceeding fourteen-hours in one day will be calculated at double
your
normal hourly wage.
d.. Retirement program
with matching funds
After one year's employment, an employee is eligible to enroll in this
program.
Enrollment openings occur on a quarterly basis. We have established a
Simple
Individual Retirement Account that allows pretax contributions to be placed
in
your account. The company will match your contributions to your retirement
account dollar for dollar up to 3% of your total earnings.
e.. Employee ownership
We are instituting an employee ownership program, that an employee will
become
eligible for after five years employment. After five years employment
the employees
will receive junior member status, which allows for access to financial
records and
profitability reports. After eight years employment an employee will become
a full
partner and be eligible to purchase company stock at a 15% discounted
rate. Stock
dividends will be paid on a yearly basis on Jan 15
Standard work week
This is to be considered
four ten-hour days, typically Tuesday through Friday. This
schedule can change with a five-day notice to include Mondays or Saturdays.
This
fluctuation is due to weather and or job requirements.
Punctuality
Morning meeting time
is 6am unless otherwise notified. Safety issues, job
information, vehicle assignments, material lists, customer requests are
some of the
items that can be discussed. It is very important that employees be on
time for
these meetings. Composed, collected and awake is the proper mental state
to be in
for work. Plan ahead to allow yourself to arrive at the designated start
time.
Speed limits on the
neighborhood roads are 25mph, 10mph below the posted limit.
These speed limits will be enforced on 184th St SE, 188th St SE, and Waverly
Dr SE.
We live in a neighborhood and these limits were enacted due to complaints.
Loud
stereos are also considered a nuisance. Keep in mind that at 6am in the
morning,
there are no other cars in the neighborhood. It will become very obvious
to the
neighbors if you act in a way to attract attention to yourself. Speeding,
loud music
and other malignant behavior will not be tolerated. Before or after work,
please
respect the neighborhood.
Should you be running
late, your supervisor must be notified prior to start time to
allow for proper job scheduling. Unexcused late arrivals will result in
a corrective
action memo. Your supervisor is given the discretion to provide the employee
with
the option of using the "late rate" option instead of receiving
a corrective action
memo.
Preparedness
An employee must arrive at work prepared for a day's work. With a work
schedule of
four days a week and possible overtime, an employee must be prepared for
a possible
thirteen-hour day. The following guidelines are for your information but
should not
considered complete.
a.. Bring adequate
nourishment for a full day's work. Employees are expected to
arrive at work prepared with food for the day. Please consider your nutritional
needs and prepare accordingly. Packing a lunch with wholesome and nutritious
foods
is a good step in the direction of productivity and efficiency. Grains,
fruits,
and vegetables are excellent sources of the sustenance needed for a day
of
physical labor.
b.. Bring adequate supply of water. Take into account the forecasted temperature
and figure accordingly. A minimum half-gallon of water should be brought.
Summer
days with forecasted temperatures above 70 degrees can cause a body to
use a
gallon or more of water. Be prepared. 3
c.. Wear proper attire for your job duties. As an employee you will be
acting as a
representative for the company. Neatness and tidiness reflect positively
on you,
your workmanship and the company. Inappropriate clothing, graphics, logos,
and or
lettering will not be accepted. Service personnel are required to wear
identification showing that they are a representative of the company.
Remember;
how you present yourself to our customers will be a key ingredient in
their
impression of the company.
4.. Seasonal weather patterns will also change clothing and protective
gear
requirements. Take into account weather and job conditions. Summer can
bring hot
and dusty days, while winter can bring freezing temperatures, wind, rain,
and mud.
If needed a change of clothes can be brought. Water repellant hat, jacket,
and
pants are needed for rain days. Each employee is supplied with a pair
of work
gloves, which will be replaced as needed. If work gloves are lost, it
will be the
employee's responsibility to replace this item. Appropriate footwear is
also
needed. Take into account your job duties when selecting footwear. Comfort,
support, and protection are all items that should be considered.
e.. No smoking policy
This company will enforce a smoke free workplace policy. Smoking and or
tobacco
use can be done during an employees personal time only. There will be
no smoking
during work hours, in company vehicles or equipment, and or around customers.
f.. Break times
Due to varying job locations and schedules, there is no set time for morning,
afternoon or lunch breaks. Morning break is fifteen minutes in length,
afternoon
break is ten minutes in length, and lunch break is thirty minutes in length.
Some
work positions will have standby time incorporated into the daily schedule
that
will be considered time towards the morning or afternoon breaks. If an
employee is
able to and would like to, they can eat their lunch during work hours
and not have
their lunch time deducted from the daily hours. This program is optional
and needs
to be noted on their daily time sheet.
Failure to follow
these guidelines will result in inefficiencies and loss of
productivity. Should it be needed, a corrective action memo will be given.
Recordkeeping
Each employee is
required to fill out a daily time sheet, detailing the day's
activities. This will include
1. Your name 11.
List of materials used
2. The correct date
12. Job description
3. Your start time
13. Tools or Equipment used
g.. Your travel and
preparation time 14. Vehicle safety check
h.. The arrival and leave times on each job 15. Total hours
i.. The total hours on each job 16. Lunch time
j.. Customer name 17. Legible
k.. Jobsite address 18. Neat
l.. City 19. Complete
m.. Lot numbers
n.. 20.
These daily time sheets are required to be turned in at the end of each
day.
Invoicing is directly performed from these time sheets so it is imperative
that all
the necessary information is supplied. All work performed and materials
used outside
of bid work must be listed. Onsite Sewage Treatment systems are bid items
based on
truck access to site, single plumbing stub with a 12" depth. Backfill
is done from a
stockpile next to the field. Any materials or work performed, outside
of these
parameters needs to be listed. If the customer requests extra work we
will be more
than happy to accommodate them. But if we do not note this on the daily
time sheet,
it's money out the window. Proper recordkeeping is imperative.
Inability to perform
recordkeeping within these guidelines will result in
inefficiencies and loss of productivity. This will trigger a corrective
action memo.
Job requirements are
that you have reliable transportation to and from jobsites
where we are performing excavation work. Your hourly wages will be calculated
from
the start time at each job until the end time of each job. Daily time
sheets will
need to be filled out and turned in at the end of the day. The work area
that we
perform excavation services includes Kitsap, King, Island and Snohomish
counties. At
the morning meeting job locations will be outlined.
Should you wish to
enroll in our travel time program, you may use a company vehicle
for your transportation to and from these jobs. To be eligible for this
program you
will need to meet the following qualifications:
1.. Clean driving
record; i.e. less than two tickets, no reckless or DWI
convictions.
2.. Posses current drivers licensee with necessary endorsements
3.. Signed paperwork attesting to your voluntary participation and an
understanding of the rules and requirements of this program.
Optional: Travel and job preparation time.
This time will be
calculated from the morning start time until the arrive time at
the first job. This time will include the morning meetings, safety meetings,
vehicle
and equipment fueling, checks, record keeping, and travel time. Not included
is time
to load, unload materials, travel time between jobs during the day and
or time
performing repairs.
Travel time rates
are paid on a flat rate scale based on hourly time. This time is
calculated separately from your hourly workweek. Travel time rates vary
according to
your skill level. We encourage all employees to strive to increase their
skill level
and reward those efforts. The following is the travel time rate schedule:
1.. Labor; $9.00
hr
2.. Technician $13.90 hr (posses the ability to set pumps and controls,
ability
to trouble shoot alarm calls, prepare an OSS system for testing, and compile
a
testing data sheet.)
3.. Commercial Drivers Licensee, paid if employee is driving commercial
vehicle
for which a CDL is required. $16.60 hr
4.. Late Rate; $7.60 hr, this is an optional rate that an employee may
choose if
given the choice to avoid receival of an Corrective Action Memo. This
action
will reflect the employees understanding that the efficiency and productivity
of
the company is damaged due to their late arrival. This step is taken by
the
employee to counter the economic impact that their actions have upon the
company.
Vehicle usage
Prior to starting
your vehicle, a vehicle safety check must be performed. The object
of this check is preventative maintenance. Look for possible problems
that could
cause safety or functional issues. The following list is a guideline for
this
procedure.
a.. Check engine
oil level, add if needed. Use proper funnels and tools to avoid
spilling oil, wipe up any spilled oil.
b.. Check water level, add if necessary
3.. Check lights, turn signals and brake lights. This can be done by turning
on
lights and hazard lights and inspecting the lights.
4.. Check tires for proper pressure, damage, unusual wear patterns. Fuel
mileage
can be decreased by up to 25% by under inflated tires.
5.. Check your spill kit to make sure it contains the following.
1.. 3 - 12"x 12" blue absorbency pads
2.. 10- 12"x18" grey absorbency wipes
3.. 3- 30" blue absorbency socks
4.. 1- stick sealant putty
5.. 5- 6" zipties
6.. 5- 14" zipties
7.. 5- 12"x12" white oil only absorbency pads
8.. 3- 30" white oil only absorbency socks
9.. 3- plastic containment bags
a.. Check to make sure your load is secured and that there is not loose
material
that can blow out of the rear of the vehicle.
b.. Check your brakes.
c.. Check your mirrors, adjust and clean as needed
Inspect your vehicle and load for any other possible safety or performance
issues.
Remember that an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Vehicle operation
Seat belt usage is
mandatory. Before moving your vehicle make sure that there are no
obstacles or people in the way. If you need to back out, inspect the rear
of the
vehicle prior to backing. When at all possible the vehicle must be backed
in for
parking. This eliminates the need to be backing out when obstacles could
have moved
behind your vehicle. As you are driving watch your load, stopping if needed
to
re-secure.
Neatness
It is expected that goodhousekeeping will be applied to all work situations.
This
includes but is not limited to
a.. Service trucks
The driver's area needs to be clean and tidy. Items being transported
need to be
in a secure and safe location. Any garbage needs to be inside of a container.
Any
recyclable items also need to be placed in a separate container. Cargo
areas must
be organized and free of clutter. Excess materials need to be neatly returned
to
stockpile locations.
3. Equipment and
transport vehicles
The driver's area
needs to be clean and tidy. Items being transported need to be
in a secure and safe location. Any garbage needs to be inside of a container.
Any
recyclable items also need to be placed in a separate container. Flatbed
decks
need to be swept clean of rocks and dirt. Equipment needs to be cleaned
and free
from loose material. This will need to be done after each job and before
the
equipment is loaded. If decks are cleaned at the shop, excess material
will be
placed into a wheelbarrow and dumped on the dirt pile. Mud and gravel
will not be
dumped on gravel surfaces.
b.. Jobsite
No littering will be tolerated. Do not bury your garbage within the sites
excavation activities. All excess job materials will be returned to the
shop at
the end of the day. If materials need to be left, they should be stacked
neatly in
a safe and secure manner. The jobsite will be left in an orderly, clean,
and safe
manner.
c.. Shop and supply
area
All shop materials will be returned to their appropriate area. Keep your
work area
clean. Return job materials to their proper location. If tools are borrowed
from
the shop, they must be returned to their location immediately after using.
If
tools need to leave the shop area, ie; needed for jobsite work, etc. you
will need
to sign out for each tool on the shop signout sheet.
Oil leak or spill
procedures
In each vehicle and
next to the entrance door to the shop are oil spill
containment and cleanup supplies. Know which products to use where. There
are blue
and grey absorbency pads and socks that absorb all liquids. The Each situation
is
different but below is listed the basic guidelines. The number one goal
is
prevention followed by 100% cleanup.
1. Hydraulic hose
Shut down the equipment
until leak is repaired and cleaned up or until the leak
has been contained. If equipment develops a minor leak that can be contained
with
absorbency pads and zip ties notify your supervisor of the situation.
Caution
should be taken to avoid dislodging the containment pads during further
work.
2. Oil Spill
The majority of spills
that do occur in this work situation are small, typically 1
gallon or less. More than half of those spills are due to human error.
So the
first step is prevention. Always be aware of the possibilities. Think
before you
act. If a spill does occur, know what the procedures are to contain, clean,
and
care for the situation. More oil ends up in our waterways each year due
to urban
runoff than the Valdez oil spill.
Each situation is
different so an assessment needs to be made whether containment
or stopping the leak is the first priority. is containment. Stop the spill
from
spreading. This can be done with absorbency pads or booms, earth dams,
or other
suitable means. The other step is to stop the leak. Turning the barrel
or
container over so the hole is up, plugging the hole with putty supplied
in the
spill kits, or shutting off the machine or supply, are some of the methods
you can
use to stop the leak.
d.. Clean up
Use absorbency pads and or "floor dry", place in plastic containment
bags, remove
the affected soil and place in containment bags as well. This material
will be
returned to the shop and placed in the oil containment area. Oil pads
will be
wrung out into our waste oil tank and pads and soil will be sealed and
disposed in
the garbage dumpster the day of pickup. This is done to protect against
rupture
from other garbage and recontamination.
Where needed use
oil only booms and or pads to remove oil from water. If needed
with running water, set up a settling pool to allow water to collect and
oil to
separate and be absorbed by pads or booms.
e.. Contaminated
soil
The typical scenario will come from a small leak developing under a parked
vehicle.
Absorbency pad will be used to contain the leak and clean up the spill.
The leak
will be fixed or contained prior to equipment usage. The affected soil
will be
placed on the concrete shop pad and covered. This material will be disposed
of at
the Everett Rinker site in their dirt burner.
The shop concrete
pad has been constructed to allow for containment of any possible
oil or fuel spill. All of the surface runoff goes through a three-step
oil water
separation process. The first step is a two hundred-gallon settling chamber,
which
allows for the bulk of the oil to separate from the water. The second
step is a four
hundred and fifty-gallon oil water separator chamber, which has a series
of baffles
and absorbency materials to remove the oil. The third and final step is
a seventeen
hundred and fifty-gallon oil water separator that provides the final separation
process.
In our experience
with this system, the last oil water separator stays very clean,
with the absorbency material only being changed annually. A large aspect
of this
excellent performance is due to our prevention awareness program. Kudos
to those of
you who really do make the difference.
Engine warm up and cooling periods
Millions of gallons
of excess fuel and unnecessary pollution is caused each year due
to excessive idling. The following policies take into account current
scientific
understandings regarding warm up times.
Warm weather 45 degrees
or above
Gas engines
1 minute warm up,
1 minute cool down from full load >70% 0 minute cool down otherwise.
Diesel Engines
5 minutes warm up,
1 minute cool down from >80% load
Shut down triggers
Gas engines Idling to be longer than 2 minutes.
Diesel Engines idling
to be longer than 5 minutes
Cold weather below
45 degrees,
Gas engines.
2 minute warm up,
1 minute cool down from full load >80%, O minute cool down otherwise
Diesel engines
10 minute warm up,
1 minute cool down from >80% load
Expenses generated
through engine wear, pollution, and fuel consumption due to
excessive idle policies far outweigh extra maintenance costs for starter
systems.
COLD TEMPERATURES:
Emission control systems take longer to warm up and become fully operational
in cold
weather. However, idling will not help. Modern vehicles need little warm-up;
they're
most efficient when being driven. Idling for long periods in cold weather
can
actually cause excessive engine wear.
Drive Wisely: Helpful
Habits to Reduce Pollution
Even a perfectly maintained car will pollute more than necessary if it
is driven
carelessly. Your car's emissions will be lower if you apply common sense
to your
driving and follow basic rules of the road. Driving situations likely
to increase
pollution include:
IDLING:
You will save gas by turning the engine off and restarting it again if
you expect to
idle for more than 30 seconds. You will also prevent pollution by avoiding
long
idles. Try parking your car and going into restaurants, banks, and the
like instead
of idling in drive-up lanes.
STOP-and-GO DRIVING:
Driving in traffic is not always avoidable. But whenever possible, plan
trips
outside rush hour and peak traffic periods. Try to "smooth"
your driving by
accelerating and decelerating gradually, anticipating stops and starts
for traffic
lights, changing traffic speeds, and so on.
In addition to knowing
and communicating the benefits of avoiding idling, another
key consideration for designing an anti-idling campaign is to be aware
of several
myths that many people believe regarding vehicle idling. The table below
shows three
common myths - and the corresponding reality.
Myth
Reality
The engine should be warmed up for long periods before driving.
Idling is not an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather.
The best way to do this is to drive the vehicle. With today's modern engines,
you need no more than 30 seconds of idling on winter days before starting
to
drive.
Idling is good for your engine.
Excessive idling can actually damage your engine's components, including
cylinders, spark plugs and the exhaust system.
Shutting off and restarting your vehicle is hard on the engine and uses
more
gas than if you leave it running.
Frequent restarting has little impact on engine components such as the
battery
and starter motor. Component wear caused by restarting the engine is estimated
to add $10 per year to the cost of driving, money that will likely be
recovered
several times over in fuel savings from reduced idling. More than 10 seconds
of
idling uses more fuel than restarting the engine.

Defensive driving
is a requirement that should not be taken lightly. Following
distances should equal 30 feet for every ten miles of speed. This is triple
the
standard requirement. A loaded truck will take more distance to bring
to a stop. Be
aware of other drivers that could well be distracted and fail to obey
common sense
driving rules. Testosterone and attitude are items that are left at home
and
definitely have no place behind the wheel.
The speed limit in
the yard is 5 miles per hour, 10 mph out the driveway, and 25 mph
on 184th St, Waverly Dr, and 188th St SE. These limits are for safety
and
neighborhood goodwill. 8
Know your route and
destination prior to beginning your trip. Should you need to
look at the map book that each vehicle is equipped with, find a safe place
to pull
over. Cell phones can be brought to work for usage on the employee's personal
time.
They are not to be used during driving. Driver distractions are the number
one cause
of accidents.
Non competition clause
All employees will declare an understanding that they will be receiving
skills and
knowledge during their employment at Earthwise Excavation. It will be
also
understood that employees leaving the company to go into direct competition
can
irreparably damage the company. This clause will prohibit any employee
from starting
a similar business within an 85-mile radius for a period of five years
after
termination of employment.
Disciplinary Actions
Should an employee fail to follow company policies, act in a manner
counterproductive to maintaining customer and community support, and or
disregard
common business courtesies, an Corrective Action Memo will be issued.
This memo will
outline the incident, establish a corrective action that the employee
should take to
correct the situation, and be signed by both the employee and their supervisor.
Receival of three
Corrective Action Memos within a twelve-month period is grounds
for termination of employment.
Should an employee
act in a manner that causes harm to another employee, company
property and or a customer's property, this will be grounds for immediate
termination of employment.
We appreciate your
time and the opportunity to work with you in this service
industry, from the ground down. With that said thank you for your time
and we look
forward to a mutually beneficial relationship.
