RED HAMMER CONTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE, INC.
INTRODUCTION
The Company has prepared this handbook to provide you with an overview of the Companys
policies, benefits, and rules. It is intended to familiarize you with important information about the
company, as well as provide guidelines for your employment experience with us in an effort to
promote a safe and healthy work environment. Please understand that this handbook only highlights
company policies, practices, and benefits for your personal understanding and cannot, therefore, be
construed as a legal document. It is intended to provide general information about the policies,
benefits, and regulations governing the employees of the company, and is not intended to be an
express or implied contract. The guidelines presented in this handbook are not intended to be a
substitute for sound management, judgment, and discretion.
It is obviously not possible to anticipate every situation that may arise in the workplace or to
provide information that answers every possible question. In addition, circumstances will
undoubtedly require that policies, practices, and benefits described in this handbook change from
time to time. Accordingly, the company reserves the right to modify, supplement, rescind, or revise
any provision of this handbook from time to time as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole
discretion with or without notice to you.
All of us must work together to make the company a viable, healthy, and profitable
organization. This is the only way we can provide a satisfactory working environment that promotes
genuine concern and respect for others including all employees and our customers.
COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
In keeping with the companys philosophy of open communication, all employees have the
right and are encouraged to speak freely with management about their job-related concerns.
We urge you to go directly to your supervisor to discuss your job-related ideas,
recommendations, concerns and other issues which are important to you. If, after talking with your
supervisor, you feel the need for additional discussion, you are encouraged to speak with the
managers.
The most important relationship you will develop at the Company will be between you and
your supervisor. However, should you need support from someone other than your supervisor, the
entire management team, including the company president, is committed to resolving your individual
concerns in a timely and appropriate manner.

This is one-on-one meeting between the immediate superior and subordinate to:
discuss the discipline problem

discuss means of improvement
agree on improvement plan that the employee should undertake
remind the employee of possible consequences should the discipline problem persist
enable superior to document the situation
The immediate superior must document the verbal discussion.
B. Written Reprimand
This is a written notice to the employee stating the offenses committed with strong
warning that a repetition of the same offense will be dealt with more severely.
C. Suspension
A temporary debarment of an employee from work, without pay.
Preventive suspension, however, is not a penalty but a precautionary/preventive measure

investigation, where the employees presence within the company premises would pose a
serious and imminent threat of danger to the life or property of his employer and coemployees.
D. Termination/Dismissal
An involuntary separation from service. A dismissed employee forfeits his final pay, all
benefits and privileges without prejudice to any appropriate legal action the company may
file/institute against him.

property, the offender will be required to replace or pay for the property lost or damaged.
F. Filing of Civil and/or Criminal Action

of any civil or criminal action that the aggrieved party or the company may file/institute

Dismissal/Termination
The following provisions of Part III, IV and V shall not limit the scope of acts of employees subject
to disciplinary action to those expressly identified or enumerated. Offenses that are not specifically
defined shall carry the penalty of the closest analogous offense.
Should a single act constitute two (2) offenses, the Company may impose both penalties as if they
arise out of different acts, or only the higher penalty, or penalty more severe that the higher penalty,
depending on the circumstances. Further, notwithstanding the following classification of punishable
acts and table of penalties, the Company may impose a graver penalty, depending on the
circumstances. The Company reserves the right to impose a higher or more severe penalty in any of
the following cases:
a) there is habituality in the commission of the same offense;
b) the offense deserves a graver penalty because it is the culminating incident in a series of
offenses committed by the employee; or
c) there are special aggravating circumstances such as open and flagrant disregard of
company rules, or the massive extent of the damage caused would warrant a higher
penalty.

POLICY ON ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY

Each employee is important to the overall success of our operation. Consequently, you are
expected to report to work on time at the scheduled start of the workday. Reporting to work on time
means that you are ready to start work, not just arriving at work, at your scheduled starting time.
The company depends on its employees to be at work at the times and locations scheduled.
Excessive absenteeism and/or tardiness will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination. The determination of excessive absenteeism will be made at the discretion of the
company.
If you expect to be absent from the job for an approved reason (e.g., a leave of absence), you
should notify your supervisor of your upcoming absence as far in advance as possible. If you
unexpectedly need to be absent from or late to work, you must notify your supervisor prior to the start
of your scheduled workday that you will be late or absent and provide the reason for that absence or
tardiness. If your supervisor is not available, you should contact the companys main office prior to
the start of your scheduled workday. Your attendance record is a part of your overall performance
rating. Your attendance may be included during your review and may be considered for other
disciplinary action up to and including termination.
The observance of punctuality is the responsibility of all employees in the organization, and each
employee has the duty to report for work on time.
Each manager is also responsible for managing the attendance of his subordinates, specifically
through the following activities:
Monitoring his subordinates daily attendance (including tardiness, under time, overtime,
leaves, etc.)
Recognizing the employees effort to comply with the attendance and punctuality policy
Issuing disciplinary action to employees violating the policy on attendance and punctuality.
Towards this end, this policy on attendance and punctuality aims to establish the guidelines and
monitoring scheme of employees attendance and punctuality.
All non-managerial employees are covered by this policy.

APPEARANCE AND DRESS

To present a business-like, professional image to our customers and the public, all employees are
required to wear appropriate clothing on the job. By necessity, the dress standards for the business
office are somewhat different than for jobsites.
For the business office, casual to business-style clothe/proper uniform is appropriate.

Employees should be neatly groomed and clothes should be clean and in good repair.
For jobsites, employees are expected to wear work clothes/proper uniform appropriate for
work to be done. The company will provide employees with shirts bearing the Companys
logo, which employees are expected to wear on the jobsite.
Always wear the Company ID properly.

(Ref.: A. Negligence or Neglect of Duty)
PERSONAL CALLS, VISITS, AND BUSINESS
The company expects the full attention of its employees while they are working.
Although employees may occasionally have to take care of personal matters during the workday,
employees should try to conduct such personal calls and visits either before or after the workday or
during breaks or meal periods. Regardless of when any personal call is made, it should be kept short.
Employees should also limit incoming personal calls and visits. The companys phones
should be available to serve the Companys customers, and non-business use of the phones can hurt
the companys business. A pattern of excessive personal phone calls, personal visits, and/or private
business dealings is not acceptable and may lead to disciplinary action.

employees for typical business expenses, such as mileage (for example, when the Company asks an

reimbursements upon receipt of the employees mileage record.
