4.3 How do you provide Biometric Information to record the hours you work? SEKO collects employees’ Biometric Information in the form of a Hand Scan, Finger Scan or otherwise, for purposes of punching in and out for work. This device protects everyone from fraudulent transactions by ensuring that only the authorized individual can initiate a time punch. In this way, the collection of Biometric Information protects our employees’ privacy by ensuring that no one else can conduct transactions on your behalf. A Hand Scan or Finger Scan, as the case may be, is a biometric device that identifies an image of your hand or finger geometry. This technology is not the same as a “fingerprint” and Hand or Finger Scanners do not record the surface details of your hand or finger. Rather, the Scanners work by capturing a three-dimensional image of your hand or finger and developing a template by running your unique hand or finger measurements through an algorithm that concentrates the information. The unique template is then stored as a mathematical value, along with the employee’s ID number. There is no way that a person’s hand or finger shape can be digitally reconstructed from the stored Biometric template. SEKO collects and stores your Biometric Identifier upon your date of hire. The Biometric Identifiers are used exclusively for the purpose set forth in this Policy – for verifying the employee time punches. SEKO takes measures to ensure that this Biometric Information is kept confidential and does not disclose this Information to third parties. The Biometric Identifier is retained in SEKO’s Payroll system throughout your employment. Upon termination of your employment, the Biometric Identifier will be destroyed as soon as reasonably possible and the Human Resources Department will delete this Information as part of the termination process. In no event will the employee’s Biometric Identifier be retained for a period longer than three (3) years from the date of termination with SEKO. By signing the Handbook Acknowledgement contained herein, I acknowledge receipt of SEKO’s Policy on Biometric Information. I hereby consent to the use of my Biometric Identifier for the purposes described herein.
4.4 When will you be paid? All SEKO employees are paid bi-weekly, approximately one (1) week in arrears. If a payday falls on a holiday or a weekend, then the payday occurs on the prior workday. A direct deposit program is available and you are encouraged to have your paycheck deposited directly into your personal bank account(s). Notify the Human Resources Department if you wish to enroll. After turning in the paperwork for this program, it normally takes two (2) paycheck periods to take effect. Should you have any questions about your paycheck, please notify Payroll. 4.5 Does SEKO provide Training and Development? TRAINING From time to time, SEKO changes its office equipment and other equipment. As a condition of employment, all employees must be amenable to training on new equipment, and must achieve acceptable performance standards in the operation of such equipment. Although SEKO establishes company-wide training objectives from time to time, managers are responsible for determining the training needs of their employees - following through to ensure the employee receives the desired training, and keeping detailed and accurate records of the training received. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS In addition to performance feedback given on an informal basis throughout the year, all employees will participate in performance reviews twice each calendar year. Two-way communication is encouraged as we mutually review performance and establish new goals and objectives for the next year. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT SEKO is committed to the development and individual growth of its employees. Employees who are interested in professional growth and development should see their department manager or the Human Resources Department to discuss their development.
