REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS/MODIFIED JOB DUTIES To assist our team members who are or become disabled, we will make reasonable accommodations as to enable such team members to continue performing the essential functions of their jobs. Consistent with this policy, we may modify job duties to comply with medical requirements or restrictions. Other accommodations, such as transfer to a vacant position for which the team member is qualified, may be appropriate, depending upon specific facts and circumstances of individual situations. Obviously, there are limits to the accommodations which we can realistically make. For example, where an accommodation would cause an undue hardship to the Company we would be unable to make the particular accommodation. Similarly, where placing an individual in a position, with or without accommodation, would cause the team member to be a direct threat to the team member or others, we may be unable to place the team member in a particular position. If you need to request a reasonable accommodation because of a disability or on-the-job injury, please contact Human Resources. We will discuss the matter with you, investigate your request, and to the extent possible, attempt to reasonably accommodate you.
OPEN DOOR POLICY From time to time you may have some concerns or questions about your work environment and wonder whom to speak with. We encourage you to take the following steps in resolving your issues. •

He/She will investigate your concerns and provide a response as soon as possible. If your concerns are still not resolved in a timely manner, contact Human Resources.
If you have a personal matter or are not comfortable addressing your concern with your General Manager and Supervisor, you may skip those steps and contact Human Resources. TEAM SEATTLE is committed to maintaining a positive and pleasant environment for every Team Member. Your concerns are important to us. Please take the time to bring your issues to our attention.

This includes, but it is not limited to, answering phones, making pizzas, folding boxes, and tending ovens. It is also the responsibility of all Team Members to keep the store organized and clean, which may include sweeping, washing dishes, taking out the trash, stocking and cleaning the restrooms, etc.
HUSTLE Hustle is a requirement of all Team Members at TEAM SEATTLE. It is the act of always moving with purpose, as quickly as possible, and with a sense of urgency. This should be done without ever jeopardizing the safety of yourself or anyone else. While working inside the store, it is your responsibility to greet the customers within 9 seconds upon entry by saying “Welcome to Domino’s” and answer the phone on the first ring. It is our goal to get the customer’s order in the oven in less than 2 minutes. This allows us to make a prompt but safe delivery. As a Delivery Expert, you need to “hustle on your feet and not on the street”. This means that you should be running to and from your vehicle at all times and driving in the safest manner obeying all traffic laws.

14 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
DRUG FREE WORKPLACE As a condition of employment, all Team Members must refrain from reporting to work or working with the presence of drugs or alcohol in their systems. Refusal to submit to any authorized drug or alcohol test, or having confirmed positive test, will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. A second diluted or manipulated drug test will be considered positive. Team Members are also subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, for using drugs or drinking alcoholic beverages or for distributing, dispensation, or possession of drugs or alcohol on Company premises or in a vehicle used on Company business.

Further information regarding the Company’s Drug-Free Workplace Policy may be obtained by contacting your Supervisor. Specific requirements of this policy may be modified or deleted as required by state or local laws or ordinances in jurisdictions where the Company operates.
TOBACCO/SMOKING TEAM SEATTLE is a tobacco free work place. Due to overwhelming comments and requests from Customers all employees must use tobacco products completely off the property and ou t of sight from customers. As mandated by Washington State law, we maintain a tobacco-free environment in all Company facilities and vehicles. In addition, Employee's clothes must be free from the odor of smoke, tobacco and other strong or offensive odors. Employees cannot use tobacco products in or on Company property, in or on company work sites, automobiles used for delivery, or within sight or smell of these locations. Tobacco use and smoking of any kind is not permitted by any Team Member in the store. It is also not permitted by any Team Member while driving on the clock. Tobacco use and smoking is not allowed while on duty, unless the Team Member is on an authorized break, but never in or around the store’s area. When using tobacco products you must be out of uniform and out of any customer view. Smoke breaks are to follow the break policy of 1- 10 minute break for every 4 hour shift, no more! Taking a smoke break every hour or more is not being supportive of other Team Members who do not smoke. It is mandatory that you properly dispose of any and all litter materials associated with tobacco products. 15 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
NEPOTISM We recognize the sensitive nature of having family members or members of the same household employed in the same store, department, unit or function. In order to avoid the perception of favoritism among team members, we do not allow the employment of two related individuals, or members of the same household, in the same store, department, unit or function if a direct or indirect supervisory relationship exists between the two. Usually TEAM SEATTLE Inc. will not refuse to hire someone simply because he or she is related to one of our current employees. If you have a relative who might be perfect to fill an open position at TEAM SEATTLE, please don’t hesitate to refer this person to us. There are times, however, when employing relatives is inappropriate and has the potential to affect the morale of other employees. Therefore, we will not hire relatives of employees where one relative will supervise the other unless a prior determination has been made by management. If two employees become related while working for the company, and if one of them is in a position of supervision over the other, only one of the employees will be allowed to keep their current position. The other will either have to transfer to another position within the company, if available and if qualified, or leave the company. Under this policy, the term “relative” encompasses husbands, wives, live-in partners, parents, children, siblings, in-laws, cousins, aunts, and uncles. This policy covers biological relationships, marriage relationships, and step relationships.
ATTENDANCE The Company requires Team Members to report to work as scheduled by your General Manager unless faced with an undue hardship. If a Team Member has an emergency, serious illness or otherwise cannot make their shift on time, he/she is to contact the General Manager at least two (2) hours prior to shift start time AND the employee is to locate an appropriate Team Member to cover that shift. We require the Team Member to personally contact the management person in charge of the store at the time of their shift. We will not accept a call from a family member, friend, or any other person unless the Team Member is incapacitated. If a Team Member calls in because of an illness three or more consecutive days in a row, he/she is to bring in a doctor’s note stating he/she is released to come back to work. After the first day of absence, the Team Member is required to contact the General Manager personally and remain in daily contact with the General Manager to determine correct scheduling and a course of action to return to work. If the Team Member requires time off or additional time off that could potentially fall under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or Americans with
16 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Disabilities Act (ADA) or any other local, state, or federal law or regulations, he/she is to contact the General Manager, Supervisor or Human Resources immediately. If a Team Member calls in for any situation other than illness, and is absent three or more days in duration, and does not meet FMLA, ADA or other state requirements, the General Manager and/or Supervisor may take disciplinary action against the Team Member up to and including termination. An absence means missing a scheduled shift. Once a location’s schedule is published, any changes must be approved by the General Manager. If the Team Member is tardy on a frequent basis or continually asks to leave their shift early or changes their shift times after the schedule is set, disciplinary action will be taken up to and including suspension and/or termination. We ask that Team Members report to work no earlier than five minutes before their scheduled start time, except in the case of inclement weather (heavy rain, snow or ice or threat of snow, etc.). A Team Member is late when he/she clocks in more than five minutes after their scheduled start time OR when he or she reports to work without full uniform or failing to meet image standards at the start of the scheduled shift. You must be in 100% full image before clock in. If a Team Member decides that he/she will neither show up at their scheduled start time nor call in as described above (no call/no show), the General Manager and/or Supervisor may take disciplinary action against the Team Member up to and including immediate suspension and/or termination. If a Team Member has a no call/no show during his/her first 90 days of employment, he/she may be immediately terminated. It is the Team Member’s responsibility to obtain reliable transportation to and from work. Failure to do so could result in a change of position, reduction in hours, or termination.
PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE For any and all policy violations, TEAM SEATTLE has the following progressive disciplinary policy: •
•
•
First Offense is a verbal warning-documented in the employee record on the store’s Pulse system and a copy sent to Human Resources. Second Offense is a written warning- documented in the employee record on the store’s Pulse system and a copy sent to Human Resources. The third offense is disciplinary action up to and including suspension and/or termination.
The Company reserves the right to skip steps and proceed to termination, in its sole discretion, even for a first offense.
SCHEDULING, CLOCK-IN, & TIMEKEEPING The hours of operation for each location are determined by the Company and may vary among locations. The schedules for all Team Members are made on a weekly basis as business allows. It is the Team Member’s responsibility to check the schedule when published and thereafter. These schedules may vary from week to week and may change after the schedules have been published, based on the needs of business. 17 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
18 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
School schedules may be requested to further assist in the location’s scheduling. Schedule requests are to be submitted in advance to the General Manager, which may or may not be granted as business allows. All Team Members are required to work at least ONE weekend shift (i.e. Friday, Saturday, Sunday) as business allows. Team Members’ hours are recorded via an automated timekeeping system. We ask that Team Members report to work no earlier than five minutes before their scheduled start of their shift as business allows (Reference: Attendance Policy). No Team Member is allowed to clock-in unless they are in full compliance with our image standards (Reference: Image Standards). In the event of an error in timekeeping using our automated timekeeping system, please notify your General Manager or immediate supervisor to rectify the situation. We appreciate your commitment to excellence. However, you should never perform work while not clocked in. Our policy is you will be compensated for any work you perform for the Company that is within the scope of your employment. You cannot “volunteer” to work for the Company doing work that would normally be part of your job in or around the location, delivering, or at any other location. If you are ever asked to work for the Company while not clocked in, please notify your Area Supervisor or the Human Resource Manager as soon as possible. Working while not clocked in could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
GENERAL MANAGER HOUR REQUIREMENTS All General Managers are required to work a minimum 50 hour work week. This is a minimum 5 day work week. GMs may not work 50 hours in 4 days and think they have met the requirement. Hours do not roll or get combined from 1 week to the next. This is 50 hours minimum every week. If a GM is short hours, short hours will be charged against PTO (paid time off) and disciplinary action will be taken up to and including suspension and/or termination. If the General Manager is not hitting the goals assigned to them by their Area Supervisor and Director of Operations, the GM may be required to work more days and hours. All General Managers are required to close on Period Ending Sunday. GMs are required to work weekends unless approved by their Area Supervisor. The Area Supervisor has the right to approve and deny the GMs schedule based on the needs of the business and the overall performance of the GM.
PAY DAY: DIRECT DEPOSIT OR PAYROLL CARD TEAM SEATTLE uses a biweekly fiscal calendar to calculate our Company’s payroll. The set pay period goes from Monday through Sunday for two weeks; pay day is 8 days later on Monday. There is not a hold on your first weeks’ hours or first paycheck. You must be clocked in for all hours worked. You are paid for all hours clocked in for that pay period on the designated pay day. Any discrepancies or questions about hours need to be addressed with the Human Resource Manager immediately following that pay period.
19 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Payroll is paid by Direct Deposit only . Your funds will be available biweekly on or before pay day (Monday). You will complete a Direct Deposit Authorization form in your New Hire Paperwork packet designating the account of your choice: Bank Account or Pay Card. The payroll card is a reloadable Visa debit card issued through Intuit. This pay card is mailed directly to the mailing address you provided on your form. You need to make certain that you are able to receive mail at the address that you provided. It will come in a plain white envelope. As soon as you receive your Pay Card, you need to activate it and then call or email the Human Resource Manager that you have received the Pay Card and turn the signed form that comes with the card in to your General Manager to send to Human Resources. This provides us with the account and routing number for your card. We cannot load your payroll funds to a card that we are not CERTAIN you have obtained and activated. Contacting the Human Resource Manager is solely your responsibility and failure to do so can result in your payroll being delayed. The employee is responsible for submitting updated Direct Deposit Authorization forms to the Human Resource Manager for bank account changes NO LATER than 8 am Wednesday before pay day. Failure to submit changes in a timely manner may cause the employee’s payroll to be returned to TEAM SEATTLE by the employee’s bank. The employee’s payroll will not be resent until the original deposit has been returned to our bank. The day of return depends on the employee’s bank. If a direct deposit must be resent due to an error by the employee or the employee’s bank, the employee will incur the direct deposit fee charged by TEAM SEATTLE ($10 at this time, subject to change at any time). This fee will be deducted from the pay being resent. All paycheck stubs can be viewed on line. The Human Resource Manager will send you an invitation via email to the email address that you provided in your New Hire Packet. This is the only way to get access to your paycheck stubs. Please follow the simple instruction in the invitation and keep your log in and password in a safe location as we do not have access to these and cannot retrieve them for you. Team Members are encouraged to check their paycheck stubs every pay period to ensure accuracy. If there is an error regarding your pay, please report it immediately to your Manger or the business office. Failure to report an overpayment may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
ELECTRONIC W-2S TEAM SEATTLE provides W-2s electronically ONLY. You have access to your electronic pay statements even after you have left the Company as long as you have your log in and password. The Company does NOT print, mail or deliver paper copies of W-2s.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE The Company exercises a Pay For Performance (PFP) policy. The cornerstone of this policy is that Team Members are paid based on results, not on perception of how hard a Team Member works. In this program, pay increases are primarily based on individual performance results. This allows the Company to differentiate exceptional performance from performance that does not meet an acceptable level. Other factors that influence a Team Member’s PFP include competitive position in the marketplace, Company profitability, and economic conditions. Overall, the Company’s PFP policy recognizes individual performance and competitiveness of the position’s compensation in the job marketplace.

22 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
WEATHER At TEAM SEATTLE we may periodically encounter situations involving the weather that will directly affect the safety of our Team Members. These situations may include (1) snow, sleet or ice, and (2) power outages. If any of the above situations should present a threat to the safety of our Team Members, action must be taken. The Area Supervisor or Director of Operations are the ones who determine whether delivery operations will be altered in TEAM SEATTLE locations. The levels of operational changes that the Area Supervisor or D of O may use are: Level 1:
Suspend delivery to affected areas. The employees will need to advise customers in these areas that deliveries have been suspended in the interest of safety. Explain to them that they may purchase carry out orders.
Level 2:
Stop delivery to all areas. The employees will need to advise all customers that deliveries have been suspended in the interest of safety. Explain to them that they may purchase carry out orders if it is safe to do so.
Level 3:
Close location until emergency has subsided.
If a General Manager believes that these or any situation may affect the safety of his or her Team Members, he or she must immediately contact their Area Supervisor. The Area Supervisor will review the situation and make a final decision. If the Area Supervisor is not available, the General Manager must contact the Director of Operations.

SAFETY AND SECURITY POLICIES WORKSITE SAFETY & SECURITY It is the goal of the Company and all our Team Members to provide and promote a safe working environment. The Company expects our Team Members to act in a safe and responsible manner to protect themselves and others. Individuals who are not employed by the Company are not allowed in the work areas of our locations. A Team Member who is off the clock is also not permitted in the work areas (behind the counters, in office, etc.) of our locations. Our Team Members must adhere to all Company rules regarding safety, fire prevention, health measures, and security measures. You should immediately report to local law enforcement any strangers, suspicious individuals, or vehicles that enter or attempt to enter secured areas of the work site. If you experience any discomfort or difficulty in using any equipment, you should discuss the situation with your General Manager and/or your Area Supervisor. They should address and correct the issue, if possible. In the event a resolution in not available, contact the Director of Operations or Human Resource Manager for assistance.
SURVEILLANCE TEAM SEATTLE has installed video cameras in all locations. Surveillance cameras are used in situations and places where the security of either people or property would be enhanced. Cameras will be used in a professional, ethical and legal manner Camera use will be limited to situations that do not violate the reasonable expectation of privacy as defined by law. The primary use of surveillance cameras will be to record images for future identification of individuals in the event of legal or policy violations. When an incident is suspected to have occurred, designated personnel may review the images from surveillance camera data. Video recordings from the cameras will be kept for a period time It should be noted that the surveillance camera’s may be used to determine inappropriate behaviors and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination Requests to release information obtained through surveillance cameras must be submitted to an Owner • •

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) & MATERIAL SAFETY & DATA SHEETS (MSDS) All Team Members should be trained to understand current Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on chemicals and other materials used by the Company. During your New Team Member Orientation (NTO), you will be given the opportunity to review the current MSDS standards and manuals that describe the purpose, ingredients, and protective equipment needed when using the materials, as well as other special precautions and information. Once you start team training at the location, you will be required to know and practice the information and precautions stated in each MSDS. It is not only for your safety, but also for the safety of others in the location. You will be required to be knowledgeable enough about MSDS information to answer any questions an OSHA inspector may ask you during inspection of the location. You can locate the MSDS information in the location office, or ask you General Manager for assistance. MSDS sheets are in a yellow binder near the chemical 29 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
station. We would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of the MSDS information. It will be explained during your NTO and you must learn the information at the location during your initial team training. Thereafter, you will need to make sure you keep current on all MSDS information.
ACCIDENT & INJURY REPORTING The Company is committed to your safety. The Company wishes to see that each Team Member receives prompt, complete and appropriate medical treatment and attention in the event that he or she suffers a job-related injury/illness. This includes first aid for minor injuries. Should you be injured while on the job, you are under STRICT INSTRUCTIONS to notify your General Manager or Area Supervisor IMMEDIATELY. This means you must notify Company management as quickly as possible and practical to ensure that you receive appropriate medical treatment when you need it. In most cases this will be immediate, but notification ALWAYS must be made BEFORE the end of your shift or work period for the day. If you sustain an accident or injury while at work or on Company business, you must immediately contact you General Manager (unless you need immediate medical attention). Under such circumstances, seek medical attention and then contact your General Manager as soon as possible. An Accident/Injury Incident Report must be completed by the injured Team Member, a supervisor at the location, and any witness and/or witnesses to the incident. You were provided this form at NTO to place in your glove compartment. Team Member & witness statements in conjunction with any video surveillance may provide further detail to the nature of the injury and the means to prevent further incidents. In ALL accidents and/or injury incidents, the Team Member may be required to submit an immediate Post Accident/Injury Drug Test as part of our Drug Free Workplace Policy. Further information about workplace injuries and illnesses will be discussed during New Team Member Orientation (NTO).
FIREARMS AND WEAPONDARY Carrying firearms or any other dangerous weapons on company property at any time is prohibited. Any violation(s) of this safety policy will result in disciplinary actions up to and including immediate termination.
ROBBERIES Don’t resist, fight or argue with the robber! If a robber confronts a Team member, our first priority is NOT to resist. No amount of money is worth a human life. Cash management policies are in place to ensure minimal loss and thus minimizing the risk of targeting other locations. We should remain calm and cooperate with robbers and give them whatever they want. Keep the situation as short as possible and remain calm. Resisting the robber may increase the chance of injury. If the robber wants the safe opened, it is very important that we comply with his request. Two compartment safes will require that the acting management know the combination of both safes. Activate the safe, but inform the robbers that they must wait 15 minutes for the timedelay mechanism. Usually, they will not want to wait and may flee the premises. After the robbers leave, lock the door and follow incident reporting procedures.

CELL PHONE ORDERS & CALL BACK PROCEDURES All orders, either over the phone or internet, over $ 50 MUST be called back before they are made. More and more of our customers are utilizing cellular phone service. In some cases it is the only phone service they utilize at their homes and businesses. We, as delivery experts, must be able to service these customers, taking all reasonable and necessary precautions to ensure our driver’s safety. Basically, all cellular phone orders should fall into the following categories and should be handled as follows: CELLULAR PHONE ORDERS WITH A LAND-BASED PHONE DELIVERY LOCATION •
•
•
Team Member takes the order and obtains the land-based telephone number at the delivery address. The land-based telephone number and the cellular number are cross-referenced together on the “delivery instructions” field on the computer for future orders and used by our drivers. If there is no prior order history, the driver does a security callback to the land-based telephone number prior to leaving the location. If there is no answer, a call is placed to the cellular number advising the customer that for driver safety, the delivery cannot be made until contact with someone is made on the land-based phone number.
CELLULAR PHONE ORDERS WITH NO LAND-BASED PHONES •
If a customer calls and says he/she has no land-based phone and this is his/her home number, the General Manager should be notified and the following should be considered: Is this a first time customer ordering? A call back is required. o Does the customer have an old land-based number you could check to confirm o any history, to verify the caller information. o Alert drivers that it is a cellular phone and as in any order, be cautious. o Have Team Member get good description of location and remind customers to turn on porch lights.
All precautionary measures should be taken to insure a safe delivery. Remember, all new customers must be called back.
CREDIT CARD ACCEPTANCE & USAGE TEAM SEATTLE locations accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express cards to pay for purchases. To be in compliance with federal laws governing credit card acceptance, prevent fraud and reduce fees we pay to the credit card companies, the following rules are in effect:
31 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
•
•
•
•
•
•
Whenever possible, swipe the customer’s credit card through the credit card swipe in the location computer. This will result in lower fee charges from the credit card companies and reduce the chance of fraud. If you are unable to swipe the customer’s credit card, you must enter all information required by the Pulse computer system for that credit card including the customers billing zip code. Verify the customer’s name on the credit card matches the name on their driver’s license. Using a credit card for cash advance for either customers or Team Members is not allowed. Charges for items other than food purchases will be treated as theft and grounds for termination. By law, we are no longer allowed to make an imprint of a customer’s credit card on their receipt. All information pertaining to customer’s credit card is confidential and must be treated as such. Violation of the confidentiality of customer’s credit card information, alterations to amount on credit card receipts or forgery of a customer’s signature will be grounds for termination. Gift Cards are to follow the same procedures listed above for credit cards.
CASH MANAGEMENT Handle money responsibly. Drivers please reference the Company’s Safe Delivery Driver Pledge. Insiders and members of management must utilize the time-delay safe and till changes. Cash management is the responsibility of all management Team Members on their shift. Any misappropriation, mismanaged, or unaccountable Company funds will result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension and/or termination, as well as legal action. Members of management should reference the Manager’s Reference Guide and review further policies and procedures regarding cash management. The Managers’ Compensation Policy states that every General Manager is responsible for the cash control at his or her location. General Managers have shortages deducted from their bonus checks. Accordingly, any hourly waged Team Member assigned to run a shift must be responsible for the cash control at his or her location. There are many things that need to be done to control cash shortages: •
• • •
At the start of a shift, count the till. Make sure all the money is there when you start work. Control till access. Only the person in charge should have a key to the till. Get receipts for all cash paid out. Missing receipts cause cash shortages. Make correct change for customers. Many cash shortages are due to inaccurately making change.
If you run shift, your General Manager may require you to fill out a Payroll Deduction for any cash shortages. If you are not comfortable with that policy, you should ask your General Manager not to schedule you to run any shifts.
32 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
CREDIT CARDS Team Members are required to verify the customers ID and confirm the ordering customer is the name on the credit card. They must present the card to the driver for verification. The Team Member making the delivery MUST physically and visually verify the card information is correct. Carry out customer orders must have their valid credit card swiped at the location. All credit card slips are to be accounted for and treated as cash. Customer receives the carbon yellow copy as receipt and we collect the original white copy. CHECK OUT At check out, we will accept only the following forms of payment from drivers: United States currency & coins Receipts for merchandise purchased by the driver, with management approval for the location’s business needs Receipts for items that the delivery expert forgot to take with them on a delivery are NOT reimbursable and are the delivery expert’s expense. • •
•
Counterfeit currency will not be accepted. Team Member may be held responsible for accepting counterfeit currency. At the end of a driver’s shift, the person checking him or her out must verify that all forms of payment meet the appropriate criteria. Any form of payment not meeting the criteria will not be accepted.
CASH DRAWER & DRIVER BANKS For the safety and security of all of our Team Members, excess money needs to be dropped into the time delay safe and locked in a driver drop box. There are two areas that need to be looked at daily at the location: CASH DRAWERS
The cash drawer should be checked numerous times during the day to ensure that there is less than $ 150 in the drawer. If a cash drawer is found with over $ 200, the person responsible for running the shift must be given a written warning outlining disciplinary actions that will be taken to ensure that no more than $ 150 is left in the cash drawer. Electronic cash drawers should be maintained as per Pulse Software protocol.
DRIVER BANKS
Drivers need to have less than $ 20 on them before they leave on any delivery. A portion of this must be in coins in order to make change for the customer. This includes any personal money. Driver should check numerous times during the day to make sure they are following our policy.
Following all the basic safety and security policies and procedures is the responsibility of everyone in a location. The safety of our Team Members must not be compromised because of carelessness. General Managers and Area Supervisors must be diligent in checking to make sure that these policies are being followed. 33 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential

What you count is what you should report. Manipulation of store monies, paperwork and/or inventory could be grounds for immediate termination. Our first guiding principle is “We Demand Integrity.”
BAD ORDERS A bad order is defined as an order that was made but never delivered to a customer. A bad order can be one of the following: • • •
An order that the customer cancelled after we have made the pizzas An order that was returned to the store because the address could not be found An order that the customer refused when our driver tried to deliver
All bad orders must be noted on the daily sign-off sheet at the end of the day. An original label from the pizza box must be saved and attached to a blank sheet of paper. This needs to be turned in with week-ending paperwork. The General Manager should call back and verify
34 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
bad orders that occur when he or she is away. Area Supervisors should periodically do call backs on bad orders as well. All bad orders need to be verified as such before being entered as a bad order. Any order that was cancelled before it is made should be entered as a voided order in the location computer. Any order that is given to the customer for free for any reason should be written up at a zero price. If a customer’s money is refunded, the order should be placed under customer refunds in the locations computer. Intentional violation of this policy, resulting in theft, may result in immediate termination. Managers may offer ‘bad orders’ to the employees. Should this be the case, the ‘bad order’ must be consumed on property.
TAX EXEMPT SALES TEAM SEATTLE locations gladly take orders from tax exempt organizations. For every tax exempt sale, a tax exempt sales form needs to be completely filled out. This form must have the name of the organization, the amount of the sale, and a signature of their representative verifying the purchase. We must have a copy of their tax exempt card/certificate on file both in the store and in the office. Failure to complete the necessary paperwork and enter the tax exempt number on any sales that are entered as tax exempt in the location computers will result in the sales tax being charged against the General Manager’s bonus.
DELIVERY EXPERT DROP The safety and security of our Team Members is of utmost importance at TEAM SEATTLE. Domino’s Pizza standards state that delivery experts are not to leave the location with over $ 20, including personal money. Delivery experts need to drop cash and credit card receipts after returning from each and every run. To help enforce this standard, TEAM SEATTLE will implement the following policy: •
•
Any delivery expert carrying over $ 20 of store and/or personal money will be given 1 verbal warning. The second warning will be a written warning. Another violation of this policy would result in termination. Any delivery expert carrying over $ 100 will be terminated immediately and the General Manager will be issued a written warning for failure to enforce the Delivery Expert Drop Policy.
For the safety of all Team Members, delivery experts must make a drop every time they are in the location. There can be no exceptions and there are no valid excuses for not following this standard.

•
Distribution is prohibited in the work areas (kitchen, office, etc.) at all times.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICIES FEDERAL FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA) The Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) provides eligible employees the opportunity to take unpaid, job-protected leave for certain specified reasons. The maximum amount of leave an employee may use is either 12 or 26 workweeks within a 12-month period depending on the reasons for the leave. Employee Eligibility To be eligible for FMLA leave, you must: 1.
have worked at least 12 months for the Company in the preceding seven years (limited exceptions apply to the seven-year requirement);
2.
have worked at least 1,250 hours for the Company over the preceding 12 months; and
3.
currently work at a location where there are at least 50 employees within 75 miles.
Conditions Triggering Leave FMLA leave may be taken for the following reasons: 1.
the birth of or to care for a newly-born child or for the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care (up to 12 weeks);
2.
to care for an immediate family member (employee’s spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition (up to 12 weeks);
3.
because of the employee’s serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the employee’s job (up to 12 weeks),
4.

5.
to care for a Covered Service Member with a serious injury or illness related to certain types of military service (up to 26 weeks);
The maximum amount of leave that may be taken in a 12-month period for all reasons in 1-4 combined is 12 weeks,. The maximum combined leave entitlement is 26 weeks for leave to care for a Covered Service Member, but leaves for all other reasons may constitute no more than 12 of those 26 weeks.
37 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Definitions A “Serious Health Condition” is an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves either an overnight stay in a medical care facility, or continuing treatment by a health care provider for a condition that either prevents the employee from performing the functions of the employee’s job, or prevents the qualified family member from participating in school or other daily activities. Subject to certain conditions, the continuing treatment requirement includes an incapacity of more than three full calendar days and two visits to a health care provider or one visit to a health care provider and a continuing regimen of care; an incapacity caused by pregnancy or prenatal visits, a chronic condition, or permanent or long-term conditions; or absences due to multiple treatments. Other situations may meet the definition of continuing treatment. A “Covered Service Member” is a member or veteran of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard or Reserves, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is otherwise in outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness. The term “serious injury or illness” means an injury or illness incurred by the member in the line of duty while on active duty in the Armed Forces that may render the member medically unfit to perform the duties of the member’s office, grade, rank, or rating, or one that existed before the beginning of active duty and was aggravated by service in the line of duty while on active duty. With regard to veterans, the injury or illness may manifest itself before or after the individual assumed veteran status. “Qualifying exigencies” include activities such as short-notice deployment, military events, arranging alternative childcare, making financial and legal arrangements related to the deployment, rest and recuperation, counseling, and post-deployment debriefings. Identifying the 12-Month Period The Company measures the 12-month period in which leave is taken by the “rolling” 12month method, measured backward from the date of any FMLA leave with one exception. For leave to care for a Covered Service Member, the Company calculates the 12-month period beginning on the first day the eligible employee takes FMLA leave to care for a Covered Service Member and ends 12 months after that date. FMLA leave for the birth or placement of a child care must be concluded within 12 months of the birth or placement. Using Leave Eligible employees may take FMLA leave in a single block of time, intermittently (in separate blocks of, or by reducing the normal work schedule when medically necessary only for the serious health condition of the employee or immediate family member, to care for a covered service member, and for military qualifying exigencies. Employees who require intermittent or reduced-schedule leave must try to schedule their leave so that it will not unduly disrupt the Company's operations.
38 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Use of Accrued Paid Leave The Company requires employees to use and exhaust accrued paid leave (such as sick leave, annual leave, vacation, or PTO), concurrently with their FMLA leave, before taking unpaid FMLA leave. Protections Maintenance of Health Benefits If you and/or your family participate in our group health plan, the Company will maintain coverage during your FMLA leave on the same terms as if you had continued to work. If applicable, you must make arrangements to pay your share of health plan premiums while on leave. In some instances, the Company may recover premiums it paid to maintain health coverage or other benefits for you and your family. Use of FMLA leave will not result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued prior to the start of your leave. Job Restoration Upon returning from FMLA leave, eligible employees will typically be restored to their original job or to an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms and conditions. Notice and Medical Certification When seeking FMLA leave, you are required to provide sufficient information for us to determine if the requested leave may qualify for FMLA protection and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave. Sufficient information may include that you are unable to perform job functions; a family member is unable to perform daily activities, the need for hospitalization or continuing treatment by a health care provider, or circumstances supporting the need for military family leave. You must also inform the Company if the requested leave is for a reason for which FMLA leave was previously taken or certified. If the need for leave is foreseeable, this information must be provided 30 days in advance of the anticipated beginning date of the leave. If the need for leave is not foreseeable, this information must be provided as soon as is practicable and in compliance with the Company’s normal call-in procedures, absent unusual circumstances. Employer Responsibilities To the extent required by law, the Company will inform employees whether they are eligible under the FMLA. If an employee is eligible for FMLA leave, the Company will provide him or her with a notice that specifies any additional information required as well as the employee’s rights and responsibilities. If employees are not eligible, the Company will provide a reason for the ineligibility. The Company will also inform employees if leave will be designated as FMLA-protected and, to the extent possible, note the amount of leave counted against the employee’s leave entitlement. If the leave is not FMLA-protected, the Company will notify the employee.
39 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Failure to Return After FMLA Leave An employee who fails to return to work as scheduled after FMLA leave or exceeds the FMLA entitlement and does not notify the Company additional leave is required, may be subject to the Company’s standard leave of absence and attendance policies, which may result in termination if you have no other Company-provided leave available to you that applies to your continued absence. Likewise, following the conclusion of your FMLA leave, the Company’s obligation to maintain your group health plan benefits ends (subject to any applicable COBRA rights). Limited Nature of This Policy This Policy should not be construed to confer any express or implied contractual relationship or rights to any employee not expressly provided for by FMLA. The Company reserves the right to modify this or any other policy as necessary, in its sole discretion to the extent permitted by law. State or local leave laws may also apply.
WASHINGTON FAMILY LEAVE ACT (WFLA) Pursuant to the Washington Family Leave Act, an employee who works at a location where there are at least 50 employees within a 75 mile radius, has been employed with the Company for at least 12 months, and has worked a total of at least 1,250 hours in the preceding year is eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave within 12 months for the following reasons: For the birth of a child of the employee and in order to care for the child; For placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care; In order to care for a family member of the employee (child, parent, spouse, or registered domestic partner), if the family member has a serious health condition; or Due to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the functions of his/her position. • • •
•
An employee must provide 30 days’ advance written notice to the Company if the need for leave under this policy is foreseeable. When this is not possible, the employee must provide notice to the Company as soon as possible; notice must be given at least one working day in advance of the event requiring leave. An employee who has accrued paid vacation may elect to use it for this purpose; it does not, however, extend the 12-week leave period. Upon completion of leave, the employee is entitled to the same position or to an equivalent position with equivalent benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment at a workplace within 20 miles of the employee’s previous workplace. Under certain circumstances, a highly compensated employee or “key employee” may be denied restoration to their prior or equivalent position. A key employee is any salaried employee who is among the highest paid ten percent of the employees employed by the Company within seventy-five miles of the facility at which the employee is employed. This leave generally runs concurrently with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”). However, any Washington Family Leave and FMLA leave can be taken in addition to leave for sickness or temporary disability because of pregnancy or childbirth (see Pregnancy Leave, below).
40 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
PREGNANCY LEAVE The Company will provide leave to a female employee for the period of time that she is sick or temporarily disabled because of pregnancy or childbirth, in accordance with applicable federal and state leave laws. Female employees on pregnancy related leave will be treated the same as other employees on leave for illness or other temporary disabilities. The employee will be required to submit verification of the need for leave consistent with the leave policies contained in the TEAM SEATTLE Team Member Handbook. Unless dictated by business necessity, the Company will restore the employee to the same job, or a similar job of at least the same pay, if she has taken a leave of absence only for the actual period of disability relating to pregnancy or childbirth.
FAMILY CARE LEAVE In accordance with the Washington State Family Care Act, all employees who are eligible for paid time off may use the time for family care leave. Family care leave may be used to care for a child with a health condition that requires supervision or treatment, or to care for a child, spouse, registered domestic partner, parent, parent in-law, or grandparent with a serious health or emergency condition. Leave may also be used to provide short-term care of a pregnant spouse or a pregnant registered domestic partner, during or after childbirth. The Company may require medical certification or documentation supporting the need for leave under this policy Employees taking family care leave may use any accrued paid leave. The amount of leave is limited to actual accrued leave; employees cannot take advances on their vacation to use for leave under this policy. Employees are expected to give as much advance notice as practicable of the need to take leave under this policy.
PARENTAL LEAVE The Company may grant an adoptive parent or a stepparent, at the time of birth or initial placement for adoption of a child under the age of six, the same leave under the same terms as the Company grants to biological parents.
MILITARY-RELATED FMLA LEAVE FMLA leave may also be available to eligible employees in connection with certain servicerelated medical and non-medical needs of family members. There are two forms of such leave. The first is Military Caregiver Leave, and the second is Qualifying Exigency Leave. Each of these leaves is detailed below.
41 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Military Caregiver Leave Unpaid Military Caregiver Leave is designed to allow eligible employees to care for certain family members who have sustained serious injuries or illnesses in the line of duty while on active duty. The family member must be a “covered service member,” which means: (1) a current member or veteran of the Armed Forces, National Guard or Reserves, (2) who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy or, in the case of a veteran, who was a current member of the Armed Forces, National Guard or Reserves within five years prior to the treatment for which an eligible employee requests leave; is otherwise in outpatient status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, (3) for a serious injury or illness that may render a current member medically unfit to perform the duties of the member’s office, grade, rank, or rating. Military Caregiver Leave is not available to care for service members on the permanent disability retired list. To be “eligible” for Military Caregiver Leave, the employee must be a spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the covered service member. “Next of kin” means the nearest blood relative of the service member, other than the service member’s spouse, parent, son, or daughter, in the following order of priority: blood relatives who have been granted legal custody of the service member by court decree or statutory provisions; brothers and sisters; grandparents; aunts and uncles; and first cousins; unless the service member has specifically designated in writing another blood relative as his or her nearest blood relative for purposes of Military Caregiver Leave. The employee must also meet all other eligibility standards as set forth within the FMLA Leave policy. An eligible employee may take up to 26 workweeks of Military Caregiver Leave to care for a covered service member in a “single 12-month period.” The “single 12-month period” begins on the first day leave is taken to care for a covered service member and ends 12 months thereafter, regardless of the method used to determine leave availability for other FMLAqualifying reasons. If an employee does not exhaust his or her 26 workweeks of Military Caregiver Leave during this “single 12-month period,” the remainder is forfeited. Military Caregiver Leave applies on a per-injury basis for each service member. Consequently, an eligible employee may take separate periods of caregiver leave for each and every covered service member, and/or for each and every serious injury or illness of the same covered service member. A total of no more than 26 workweeks of Military Caregiver Leave, however, may be taken within any “single 12-month period.” Within the “single 12-month period” described above, an eligible employee may take a combined total of 26 weeks of FMLA leave including up to 12 weeks of leave for any other FMLA-qualifying reason (i.e., birth or adoption of a child, serious health condition of the employee or close family member, or a qualifying exigency). For example, during the “single 12-month period,” an eligible employee may take up to 16 weeks of FMLA leave to care for a covered service member when combined with up to 10 weeks of FMLA leave to care for a newborn child. An employee seeking Military Caregiver Leave may be required to provide appropriate certification from the employee and/or covered service member and completed by an authorized health care provider within 15 days. Military Caregiver Leave is subject to the other provisions in our FMLA Leave Policy (requirements regarding employee eligibility, appropriate notice of the need for leave, use of accrued paid leave, etc.). Military Caregiver 42 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
Leave will be governed by, and handled in accordance with, the FMLA and applicable regulations, and nothing within this policy should be construed to be inconsistent with those regulations. Qualifying Exigency Leave Eligible employees may take unpaid “Qualifying Exigency Leave” to tend to certain “exigencies” arising out of the duty under a call or order to active duty of a “covered military member” (i.e. the employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent). Up to 12 weeks of Qualifying Exigency Leave is available in any 12-month period, as measured by the same method that governs measurement of other forms of FMLA leave within the FMLA policy (with the exception of Military Caregiver Leave, which is subject to a maximum of 26 weeks of leave in a “single 12-month period”). Although Qualifying Exigency Leave may be combined with leave for other FMLA-qualifying reasons, under no circumstances may the combined total exceed 12 weeks in any 12-month period (with the exception of Military Caregiver Leave as set forth above). The employee must meet all other eligibility standards as set forth within the FMLA policy. Persons who can be ordered to active duty include active and retired members of the Regular Armed Forces, certain members of the retired Reserve, and various other Reserve members including the Ready Reserve, the Selected Reserve, the Individual Ready Reserve, the National Guard, state military, Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Coast Guard Reserve. A call to active duty refers to a federal call to active duty, and state calls to active duty are not covered unless under order of the President of the United States pursuant to certain laws. Qualifying Exigency Leave is available under the following circumstances: (1) Short-notice deployment. To address any issue that arises out of short notice (within seven days or less) of an impending call or order to active duty. (2) Military events and related activities. To attend any official military ceremony, program, or event related to active duty or a call to active duty status or to attend certain family support or assistance programs and informational briefings. (3) Childcare and school activities. To arrange for alternative childcare; to provide childcare on an urgent, immediate need basis; to enroll in or transfer to a new school or daycare facility; or to attend meetings with staff at a school or daycare facility. (4) Financial and legal arrangements. To make or update various financial or legal arrangements; or to act as the covered military member’s representative before a federal, state, or local agency in connection with service benefits. (5) Counseling. To attend counseling (by someone other than a health care provider) for the employee, the covered military member, or for a child or dependent when necessary as a result of duty under a call or order to active duty. (6) Temporary rest and recuperation. To spend time with a covered military member who is on short-term, temporary rest and recuperation leave during the 43 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
period of deployment. Eligible employees may take up to five of days of leave for each instance of rest and recuperation. (7) Post-deployment activities. To attend arrival ceremonies, reintegration briefings and events, and any other official ceremony or program sponsored by the military for a period of up to 90 days following termination of the covered military member’s active duty status. This also encompasses leave to address issues that arise from the death of a covered military member while on active duty status. (8) Mutually agreed leave. Other events that arise from the close family member’s duty under a call or order to active duty, provided that the Dealership and the employee agree that such leave shall qualify as an exigency and agree to both the timing and duration of such leave. An employee seeking Qualifying Exigency Leave may be required to submit appropriate supporting documentation in the form of a copy of the covered military member’s active duty orders or other military documentation indicating the appropriate military status and the dates of active duty status, along with a statement setting forth the nature and details of the specific exigency, the amount of leave needed and the employee’s relationship to the military member, within 15 days. Qualifying Exigency Leave will be governed by, and handled in accordance with, the FMLA and applicable regulations, and nothing within this policy should be construed to be inconsistent with those regulations.
MILITARY LEAVE Military leave is granted if you must miss work to fulfill military obligations. Qualified Individuals are eligible for job and benefit protection for a limited time after separation from active duty as listed under Uniformed Services Employment & reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Military leave is unpaid. If you are called to active duty, please give your General Manger and Human Resource Manager as much advanced notice as possible. All applications for military leave will require sufficient documentation.
WASHINGTON FAMILY MILITARY LEAVE During a period of military conflict, an employee who is the spouse of a member of the armed forces of the United States, national guard, or reserves who has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty or has been deployed is entitled to a total of 15 days of unpaid leave per deployment after the military spouse has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty and before deployment or when the military spouse is on leave from deployment.
MEDICAL LEAVE If you require a leave of absence due to your own serious health condition when you are either ineligible for FMLA benefits or when those benefits have already been exhausted, you may apply for a medical leave. Medical leaves are unpaid unless covered by a benefit program. Usual medical leaves do not provide job protection, unless otherwise required by law. Unpaid medical leave is usually not granted for more than 90 consecutive days. We require that any and all requests for leave of absence be submitted in writing and be supported by acceptable medical documentation supporting the request.
44 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
FAMILY CARE LEAVE In accordance with the Washington State Family Care Act, all employees who are eligible for paid time off may use the time for family care leave. Family care leave may be used to care for a child with a health condition that requires supervision or treatment, or to care for a child, spouse, registered domestic partner, parent, parent in-law, or grandparent with a serious health or emergency condition. Leave may also be used to provide short-term care of a pregnant spouse or a pregnant registered domestic partner, during or after childbirth. The Company may require medical certification or documentation supporting the need for leave under this policy Employees taking family care leave may use any accrued paid leave. The amount of leave is limited to actual accrued leave; employees cannot take advances on their vacation to use for leave under this policy. Employees are expected to give as much advance notice as practicable of the need to take leave under this policy.
PAID SICK AND SAFE TIME FOR SEATTLE EMPLOYEES ONLY Beginning September 1, 2012, employees who work in the City of Seattle will accrue paid time for sick leave and safe leave under the terms of this policy.
Accrual of Paid Sick/Safe Time All Seattle employees who have successfully completed 180 calendar days of employment will be eligible to use accrued sick/safe time. If you work more than 240 hours in Seattle between September 1, 2012 and the end of the calendar year, you will begin to accrue Seattle paid sick/safe time at the rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked once you reach hour 241, and you will continue to accrue Seattle paid sick/safe time the following year. If you do not work more than 240 hours in Seattle between September 1, 2012 and the end of the calendar year, we will restart the tracking process on January 1, 2013 (i.e., you must work more than 240 hours in 2013 before you will begin to accrue Seattle paid sick/safe time). Seattle employees will accrue one (1) hour of paid sick/safe time for every [30/40] hours worked. Employees exempt from overtime pay will also accrue sick/safe time. Employees whose normal work-week is more than 40 hours will accrue one (1) hour of sick/safe time for every 40-hour work week. Employees whose normal work-week is less than 40 hours will accrue sick/safe time based upon the employee’s normal work week.
Use of Accrued Paid Sick/Safe Time Accrued sick/safe time can be used for either sick leave or safe leave. Sick leave is to be used for an illness of the employee or the employee’s child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, grandparent, or parent-in-law, in the following circumstances:
45 TEAM SEATTLE Employee Handbook 2014 ~ Company Confidential
• An absence resulting from the mental or physical illness, injury or health condition of an employee; • To provide care of a family member’s mental or physical illness, injury or health condition; • To accommodate the need for medical diagnosis, care or treatment of an employee or family member’s mental or physical illness, injury or health condition; or • To accommodate the need for preventative medical care of an employee or family member. Safe leave is to be used in the following circumstances: • To enable an employee to seek legal or law enforcement assistance, medical treatment, social services relief, mental health counseling, relocation or other safety measures related to domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking for either the employee or a family member; • When the Company’s Seattle location is closed by order of a public official to limit exposure to a hazardous material, infectious agent or biological toxin; or • To accommodate an employee’s need to care for a child whose school or place of care has been closed by a public official for the same reasons. Sick or safe leave is not to be used for vacation or personal time off. The Company may require verification of illness from a health care provider or documentation related to an employee’s request for safe leave. Employees will need to provide appropriate notice to the Company of their use of sick/safe time and the expected duration of absence. If the leave is foreseeable, a written request will need to be provided to your supervisor as possible before taking paid sick/safe leave. If the leave is unforeseeable, then provide notice as soon as possible.
CIVIC DUTIES LEAVE TEAM SEATTLE encourages each of its team members to accept his or her civic responsibilities. We are a good corporate citizen, and we are pleased to assist you in the performance of your civic duties. Jury Duty If you receive a call to jury duty, please notify your General Manager immediately so he or she may plan the location’s work with as little disruption as possible.

TIPPED EMPLOYEE NOTICE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As a Team Member of a delivery food and beverage establishment, the tip income you receive, whether cash or included in a charge, is TAXABLE INCOME. As income, these tips are subject to federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes, and may be subject to state income tax as well. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has put greater emphasis on reporting tip income over the past few years because a significant number of taxpayers are not reporting ALL tip earnings as income. For all Team Members, under federal law, the IRS requires that you report ALL of your tip income to us for any month during which you receive at least $ 20 in tips. It is our policy to have you report tips received to us daily to aid you in meeting your obligation to report them. Each day at check out, you will be asked for the amount you received in tips that day. It is your obligation to tell us the proper amount. You will be asked to sign a record of the amount you reported to us on a regular basis. You must sign this record when requested certifying that the tips reported are accurate. We demand integrity. There are several reasons why you should report your tips: Increased income may improve financing approval when applying for a mortgage, car, and other items. Increases Social Security and Medicare benefits (the more you pay, the greater your benefits). Through an examination, the IRS may determine you underreported tips, and you may be subject to substantial additional taxes, penalties, and interest, (i.e: federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes, plus interest, if applied) It’s the law Report all tips to management during checkout. Tips reported will show up on your W-2 form as “wages”. Payroll taxes will be withheld from you regular pay and will affect your net check. The IRS may assess taxes and penalties if you do not report tips to the Company. •

POLICY ON PICKING UP INVENTORY ITEMS FROM OTHER STORES From time to time it may be necessary for one store to pick up inventory items from another store. This is an important practice because it may be the only way a location can avoid running out of inventory items. There are a few important guidelines to follow when faced with a situation where you have to get inventory items from another store. •
•
•
•
Preventing the store from running out of inventory is a top priority. We are NEVER out of any item that we sell. The General Manager is ultimately responsible for keeping his/her store stocked with enough inventory items. The GM should make every attempt to collect inventory items from other stores at his/her own expense. Area Supervisors often visit stores on a regular basis. It is also appropriate to enlist the help of your A.S. to get items from other stores in your area. Only Team Members that are authorized to drive for the franchise may drive to another store to pick up inventory items.
In the event that the General Manager and Area Supervisor are unable to travel to another store to pick up inventory items, the store may send one of its Team Members. The Team Member that drives must be authorized to drive for the franchise. That Team Member will be reimbursed at the rate published by the IRS per mile driven and paid for the time worked. The amount of reimbursed should be recorded in the Bonus Mileage box in the Delivery Reimbursement tab of that Team Member’s check out. Inventory items bought/sold between stores is a cash transaction. The purchasing store must pay cash to the providing store. Each store must attach a receipt of food bought or sold to their All Transaction Report with a signature of a Team Member from both stores. In the event that there is no receipt attached for food bought/sold to or from another store, it will be considered a missing receipt and will come out of the GM bonus. The sale/purchase must be entered under either cash paid out or money received other than sales as food bought/sold. Failure to enter the transaction as a cash transaction and an inventory transaction will result in the dollar amount being withheld from the GM bonus as a missing receipt. Pick up orders from DNC (the commissary) are not permitted without prior supervisor approval. Inventory management is the responsibility of the GM and proper ordering and management is required.

CAR TOP SIGN POLICY Car top signs are an important means for our Delivery Experts to present a professional image to many potential customers. They are an invaluable tool for increasing awareness of our company as well as increasing safety and visibility for our Delivery Experts. All Team Members employed with TEAM SEATTLE are required to wear a car top sign any time they are delivering. All car top signs are required to be lit by 5 pm if allowed by local law. Car top signs should be maintained in good working order so that they may be lit by Delivery Experts. Some Team Members may not be able to use a standard magnetic style car top sign because of the design of their vehicle. These Team Members are not exempt from this policy. Many stores have alternative style methods of vehicle identification. These include, but are not limited to: window wings and flags. If the Team Member’s store does not have one of these items available, the store must purchase one (have the supervisor order) of the items and make it available for the Team Member. Any Team Member delivering without a car top sign or with an unlit car top sign may be subject to disciplinary action.
