Summary:
Bloodhound Security & Investigations has access to the client's employee handbook policies and required training procedures and considered the applicable materials in evaluating these observations.
- Aeron Hansen was documented pacing around and standing around near the register instead of staying actively engaged with work duties, which is inconsistent with the handbook’s shift expectations.
- Aeron rang in an employee discounted meal for himself and then went to the kitchen to make it; the handbook requires employee meals to be rung in before they are prepared.
- On a 2nd shift, the authoritative employee meal-break window is 3-5 pm; Aeron’s meal was rung in at 4:26 pm, which is within that window.
- The report shows Aeron continued to serve customers and handle payments during the shift, but also had periods of idle time that should be avoided when work remains to be done.
Prior similar warning history: A prior warning for Aeron Hansen addressed materially similar productivity concerns, including pacing around and standing around near the register instead of staying actively engaged in work duties.
Signoff Action: Written warning prepared for employee signoff.
