Page 87 - Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual

If you are classified as a non-exempt employee, you must maintain a record of the total hours you work
each day. These hours must be accurately recorded on a time card that will be provided to you by your
supervisor. Each employee must sign his or her time card to verify that the reported hours worked are
complete and accurate. Your time card must accurately reflect all regular and overtime hours worked, any
absences, late arrivals, early departures and meal breaks. At the end of each week, you should submit your
completed time card to your supervisor for verification and approval. When you receive each pay check,
please verify immediately that you were paid correctly for all regular and overtime hours worked each work
week.

Unless you are authorized by your supervisor, you should not work any hours that are not authorized. Do
not start work early, finish work late, work during a meal break or perform any other extra or overtime work
unless you are authorized to do so and that time is recorded on your time card. Employees are prohibited
from performing any "off-the-clock" work. "Off-the-clock" work means work you may perform but fail to
report on your time card. Any employee who fails to report or inaccurately reports any hours worked will
be subject to disciplinary action, up to, and including, discharge.

It is a violation of the Company's policy for any employee to falsify a time card, or to alter another
employee's time card. It is also a serious violation of Company policy for any employee or manager to
instruct another employee to incorrectly or falsely report hours worked or alter another employee's time
card to under- or over-report hours worked. If any manager or employee instructs you to (1) incorrectly or
falsely under- or over-report your hours worked, or (2) alter another employee's time records to inaccurately
or falsely report that employee's hours worked, you should report it immediately to the Human Resources
Department.

Exempt Employees

If you are classified as an exempt salaried employee, you will receive a salary that is intended to compensate
you for all hours you may work for Augusta, Georgia. This salary will be established at the time of hire or
when you become classified as an exempt employee. While it may be subject to review and modification
from time to time, such as during salary review times, the salary will be a predetermined amount that will
not be subject to deductions for variations in the quantity or quality of the work you perform.

Under federal and state law, your salary is subject to certain deductions. For example, absent contrary state
law requirements, your salary can be reduced for the following reasons:

• Full day absences for personal reasons
• Full day absences for sickness or disability
• Full day disciplinary suspensions for infractions of our written policies and procedures
• Family and Medical Leave absences (either full or partial day absences)
• To offset amounts received as payment for jury or witness fees or military pay
• The first or last week of employment in the event you work less than a full week

Your salary may also be reduced for certain types of deductions such as your portion of health, dental or
life insurance premiums; state, federal or local taxes, social security; or, contributions to a pension plan. In
any work week in which you performed any work, your salary will not be reduced for any of the following
reasons:

• Partial day absences for personal reasons, sickness or disability
