WORK EXCLUSIVE EVENTS, AND LEARN NEW SKILLS! SHIFTGIG BULLPEN ALLOWS ITS WORKERS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PICK UP SHIFTS AT THEIR CONVENIENCE AND LEISURE. IN AN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE ANY CONFUSION ABOUT
SHIFT DETAILS AND EXPECTATIONS, BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

CONFIRMING YOUR SHIF TS

When you pick up a shift you shall receive an electronic confirmation of your acceptance of the shift. Upon confirmation,
details about the shift will be provided, which will include, but are not limited to:

 CLIENT NAME AND LOCATION OF SHIFT


 EXACT DATE AND TIME OF SHIFT, INCLUDING THE CHECK-IN TIME, START TIME AND END TIME
 DESCRIPTION OF SHIFT DUTIES
 NAME OF SHIFTGIG BULLPEN FIELD MANAGER OR ON-SITE SUPERVISOR
 DRESS CODE, INCLUDING SPECIFIC UNIFORM DETAILS AND/OR SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
 PAY RATE, AND ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL MONIES OWED, AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SHIFT
 OTHER INFORMATION, PERTAINING TO THE SHIFT, MAY BE PROVIDED AS NECESSARY

Electronic confirmation and shift details shall be provided to you by a member of our internal staff and shall be documented
in your personnel file, as well as your WorkNow mobile app. Electronic confirmation and shift details shall be provided to
you either via email and/or your WorkNow mobile app.

BE PREPARED

Prior to picking up a shift, either via your WorkNow mobile app, it is important that you are certain of your availability and
understanding of the expectations of the shift. If you find yourself uncertain about your availability and/or the expectations
of the shift, please contact your local Shiftgig Bullpen office or your designated Shiftgig Bullpen representative before
confirming your shift.

REMEMBER: WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO PICK UP SHIFTS THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO ATTEND, AND WE EXPECT
THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS, AND FULLY PREPARED FOR THE SHIFT AHEAD OF TIME.

DRESS CODE
SHIFT: Each individual shift requires a unique dress code, which you must abide by. Failure to abide by the required dress code, as
dictated by the client’s management’s standards, may result in early release from the shift, and may result in disciplinary action, up to
and including termination.

Specialist Employee Handbook 4


OFFICE: Although it is not mandatory, we expect our Specialists to dress in a respectful and reasonable manner when visiting
any of our office locations, and while engaging with members of our internal staff. Please refrain from attire that is distracting,
offensive, sloppy, or unnecessarily revealing, while on any Shiftgig Bullpen premises.

Specialist Employee Handbook 5


TIME REPORTING

Reporting the amount of time worked during a shift is a combined effort between the Specialist, the on-site Specialist field
manager or client supervisor, and the corresponding account manager. Currently, the time reporting process is as follows:

 UPON CLAIMING A SHIFT, THE SPECIALIST’S PROFILE IS ADDED TO A SHIFT ROSTER, WHICH IS SENT DIRECTLY TO
THE CLIENT

 UPON ARRIVAL TO SHIFT, THE SPECIALIST CHECKS IN WITH ON-SITE FIELD MANAGER OR CLIENT SUPERVISOR

 THE SPECIALIST SIGNS HIS/HER NAME NEXT TO HIS/HER PROFILE ON THE SHIFT ROSTER;

 UPON CONCLUSION OF SHIFT, THE SPECIALIST CHECKS OUT WITH ON-SITE FIELD MANAGER OR CLIENT
SUPERVISOR AND SIGNS HIS/HER NAME NEXT TO HIS/HER PROFILE

 CLIENT RETURNS THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION BACK TO SPECIALIST FOR PAYROLL PROCESSING

Because this process is currently manual, it is imperative for you, the Specialist, to pay close attention to your shift start
time and shift end time, shown on the shift roster, before signing. Signing the shift roster indicates your acknowledgment
and acceptance of the time being reported. Any determinations of Specialist time worked as reported by the Client shall be
conclusive.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE COMPENSATED FOR CHECKING IN AT THE DESIGNATED CHECK-IN TIME. THE CHECK-IN
TIME IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW YOU AMPLE TIME TO ARRIVE AND PREPARE FOR YOUR SHIFT. ADDITIONALLY, YOU WILL
NOT EXPECT TO BE COMPENSATED FOR YOUR COMMUTE TO AND FROM A SHIFT. IN ADDITION, IF YOU DO NOT SIGN IN
OR SIGN OUT ON THE SHIFTGIG BULLPEN ROSTER, YOU MAY NOT GET PAID.

BREAK PERIODS

Shiftgig Bullpen abides by state and federal law, in regards to the regulation of employee break periods, which states that
employees are not entitled to taking break periods during their shift, unless granted by the employer. Federal law also states
that employees are entitled to compensation during break periods, but only within the allotted break period determined by
the employer.

The timing of and the decision of whether or not to grant Specialists break periods during shifts is solely dependent upon
the client and in accord with applicable laws. The client will report any break time taken in excess of allotted break period(s),
and that time will be unpaid.

Smoking is allowed only during the designated break periods and lunch periods, and only in designated areas, at least
fifteen (15) feet from any entrances/exits from the building or work area.

Specialist Employee Handbook 6


ATTENDANCE

SPECIALISTS’ ATTENDANCE TO SCHEDULED SH IFTS IS OF THE UTMOS T IMPORTANCE TO THE PRODUCTIVITY OF OUR
BUSINESS AND ALSO IS A CONDITION OF YOUR EMPLOYMENT W ITH SHIFTGIG BULLPEN . PLEASE NOTE THE
FOLLOWING EXPECTATIO NS AS IT PERTAINS TO AT TENDANCE:

EFFECT OF RESINGNATIO N OR TERMINATION

Because Specialists have the flexibility to pick up shifts at their own convenience, there are no stipulations or consequences
to not picking up a shift within a given time period. However, if a Specialist has resigned or been terminated, we will place
a Specialist’s employment status as “terminated” and their WorkNow mobile app account will be deactivated. Terminated
or Resigned Specialists will be notified of this change to their employment status, in writing. Resigned Specialists are also
eligible for re-hire at any time but subject to the hiring process but terminated Specialists are not eligible for re-hire..

TARDINESS

We understand that sometimes life can get in the way of making it to work on time, and we also recognize that sometimes
things don’t always go as planned. In an effort to help you reduce the possibility of being tardy to your scheduled shift, we
ask that you arrive to your shift at the scheduled check-in time, which is typically fifteen (15) minutes before the start of the
shift. Please know that tardiness to shifts is monitored, and excessive tardiness, or a pattern of frequent tardiness, may
result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

CANCELLATION

As previously stated, it is imperative that you carefully consider your availability when committing to picking up a shift.
Canceling shifts that you already confirmed availability for creates a difficult situation for Shiftgig in that it falls on the Shiftgig
fulfillment team to quickly replace you with a new Specialist.

That being said, we allow Specialists to cancel shifts, at a minimum, forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the scheduled shift.
If there is a need to cancel a shift within forty-eight (48) hours of the scheduled shift, Specialists are required to immediately
contact their local recruiting office or their designated Shiftgig Bullpen representative.

Cancellation anytime within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled shift is strongly discouraged and highly frowned upon.
Please know that all cancellations are monitored, and any single or a pattern of frequent cancellation may be grounds for
disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

NO CALL NO SHOW

To No Call No Show means that a Specialist does not attend his/her scheduled shift, nor does he/she notify their local
Shiftgig Bullpen office, or designated representative, of an anticipated absence. Although we take into consideration each
Specialist’s overall reliability and work performance, we uphold a very low tolerance for No Call No Shows, and consider
this grounds for immediate disciplinary action likely to result in termination.

Specialist Employee Handbook 7


UNDERSTANDING EXPECTATIONS

It is important for you to remember that, no matter the situation, Shiftgig Bullpen is your employer. Whether you are working
on a short- or a long-term shift assignment with a client company, you are always a Shiftgig Bullpen employee, and should
adhere to following procedures.

 THE WORK DELEGATED TO YOU ON-SITE IS DIFFERENT THAN THE POSTED SHIFT DESCRIPTION.

 THE ON-SITE WORKING ENVIRONMENT APPEARS TO BE HAZARDOUS.

 YOU BECOME SICK OR INJURED WHILE WORKING, OR IF ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE THAT RESULT IN
YOUR INABILITY TO COMPLETE THE SHIFT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

 YOU CHANGE YOUR RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, OR E-MAIL ADDRESS.

 YOU HAVE LEARNED NEW SKILLS, OR HAVE A DESIRE TO LEARN NEW SKILLS, THAT MAY QUALIFY YOU FOR
ADDITIONAL SHIFTS AND/OR PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

 YOU ARE REQUESTED, BY THE ON-SITE FIELD MANAGER OR SUPERVISOR, TO LEAVE YOUR SHIFT EARLIER THAN
ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED, AND FOR ANY REASON.

 YOU FEEL AS THOUGH ANY OF OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ARE BEING VIOLATED BY FELLOW SPECIALISTS,
SPECIALIST FIELD MANAGERS, ON-SITE CLIENT SUPERVISORS, OR ANY OTHER ASSOCIATES ON A CLIENT SITE.

your field manager or on-site supervisor immediately, and contact your local Shiftgig Bullpen office, your designated
representative, or Human Resources as soon as possible, and on the same day as the incident. Failure to immediately
report an injury or illness could adversely affect worker’s compensation benefits. Additionally, failure to provide immediate
notification may lead to discipline for failure to follow safety and reporting procedures.

of dependents you wishes to claim, you should submit a new W4 Form to Human Resources or make the appropriate
adjustments through your personal Payroll account.

promptly investigated and the results of the investigation will be reported to the complaining Specialist. If the Specialist

discrimination directly from an employee, or becomes aware of such conduct, the complaint shall be immediately reported
to Human Resources.
 ANY EMPLOYEE WISHING TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT (I.E. THE “COMPLAINANT”) SHOULD SUBMIT A WRITTEN
STATEMENT TO HUMAN RESOURCES, OR ALTERNATIVELY, THE CEO, OR HIS DESIGNEE, IN THE EVENT THAT HUMAN

SUCH WRITTEN STATEMENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT OR ACT

INVESTIGATION, IF NECESSARY.

 REPORTING HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION OR RETALIATION OR PARTICIPATING IN AN INVESTIGATION WILL NOT

RETALIATES AGAINST ANOTHER FOR EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THIS POLICY SHALL BE SUBJECT TO
DISCIPLINE UP TO AND INCLUDING DISCHARGE.

 THE RIGHTS TO CONFIDENTIALITY, BOTH OF THE COMPLAINANT AND OF THE ACCUSED, WILL BE RESPECTED
CONSISTENT WITH SHIFTGIG BULLPEN’S LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND WITH THE NECESSITY TO INVESTIGATE
ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT AND TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION WHEN THIS CONDUCT HAS OCCURRED.
