If you are more than 30 minutes late, the guard will not let you in without approval from 1st Employment and you will be sent home. If you are assigned to report in at 6:30am, this means you need to be clocked in and on your line/in your designated area at 6:30am. * No Call No Shows: Failing to contact 1st Employment at least 1 hour prior to the beginning of your shift will be considered as a no call, no show. This will result in immediate termination from 1st Employment. * 7. Dress Code: Report to work in a clean and neat way and wearing slip resistant shoes. Shoes must have a closed heel and toe, with no holes or tears. Shorts, tank tops, midriff, see through shirts, cut off sleeved shirts, baggy pants, Capri pants or pants with holes will NOT be acceptable.

Bobby pins, plastic hair clips, rubber bands, two piece barrettes, and barrettes with beads or jewels are NOT permitted. Rubber bands with metal clasps are acceptable. * 9. GMP Training: GMP’s, also known as General Manufacturing Practices, are practices that were created to keep the Product safe and the employee safe from hazards that may arise while working. Attention to personal and team safety is an absolute requirement. Employees will be trained in the safe and proper techniques for completing tasks. Any deviation from the trained process which causes a safety issue will NOT be tolerated. You must complete orientation, watch Conagra Brands GMP PowerPoint video as well as a safety video at 1st Employment, and successfully complete the safety quiz and GMP quiz prior to your first day of assignment. * Anyone in violation of Conagra GMPs is subject to receiving a NR (non-returnable) from Conagra. Depending on the severity of the NR received, employees are subject to reprimand up to and including termination from 1st Employment. * 10. Breaks: You are expected to take a 30 minute unpaid lunch break during your shift as well as two 12 minute paid breaks. Your supervisor will inform you when it is time for your break. There is a break room where you can consume your meal or snacks. No food will be allowed in the production area, this includes gum, candy, and cough drops. * 11. Smoking Policy: If you choose to smoke on a break, you will need to use your badge to go out into the parking lot and MUST smoke in a vehicle. No cigarette butts are to be discarded in the parking lot. * 12. Lifting: One of the leading causes of back injury in the workplace is an improper lifting technique. Many factors can contribute to back injury including poor posture and poor physical condition; however, using proper lifting techniques can help you avoid these very painful injuries. You will be asked to lift up to 40lbs regularly throughout the shift. * Size up the load before trying to lift it. If the load is too heavy, or of an awkward shape, get help from a co-worker or use a mechanical lifting device. * Bend your knees. This is the most important rule to remember when lifting moderate to heavy objects. Center yourself over the load, get a good hand hold, and lift straight up with your back straight. Allow your legs, not your back, to do the work. * Carry the load close to your body. Do not stretch your arms and/or back to reach an object. Keep the load close and centered to your body. The farther away from your body you hold the load, the more pressure is exerted on your lower back. * Do not twist or turn your body once you have made the lift. Keep the load close to your body and keep it steady. Any sudden twisting or turning could result in injury. * Make sure you can carry the load where you need to go before attempting to move it. Make sure your path is free of obstacles and there are no hazards such as spills in your path. * Set the load down properly. Lower your body slowly, letting your legs do most of the work. * Always push, not pull an object. Pushing puts less strain on the back. * 13. Soreness versus Sprains/Strains: It is very common to experience muscle soreness and/or stiffness when muscles are exposed to new or repetitive movements. The presence of muscle soreness and/or stiffness does not mean you have injured yourself, it is simply a side effect of physical activity your body isn’t used to. With muscle soreness, you typically won't feel it until the following day or even 1-2 days later. With a strained muscle, the pain is usually immediate, sharp/intense, and localized to where the injury occurred. Stretching before and after your shift, staying hydrated and using heat or ice on sore muscles following your shift can help. If you are in considerable pain, please report this to 1st Employment immediately. 14. Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses will be provided by 1st Employment and are given to you upon completion of orientation. (Replacement glasses are $5.00 per pair) WHITE hairnets, beard nets, earplugs, gloves, and smocks will be provided by Conagra Brands and are located in the main Smock Room which is down the hallway from the breakroom use for production areas. YELLOW smocks are required for Line 5 and can be found in the warehouse behind Line 4. You must wear all PPE as required. Do not remove the cord from the ear plugs. Smocks are ONLY to be worn in the production area. * 15. Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety: Do not operate any powered industrial truck OR electric pallet jack unless you have been properly trained and authorized by Conagra Brands. Pedestrians should always be alert for lift traffic. Watch and listen at all times. Do not walk under a lift. Maintain a safe distance from any raised lift. Before crossing the path of a lift, make sure the driver sees and acknowledges you before you proceed. * 16. Injury Reporting Procedures: It is very important that 1st Employment be advised immediately of all information about a work related injury. 1st Employment’s policy requires that you notify both your On-Site Supervisor and your 1st Employment Representative of your injury. If circumstances don’t allow an immediate notification, you must report the incident to 1st Employment by the end of your shift. 1st Employment has a 24-hour a day, seven-day a week mobile app, emergency cell phone 479-263-7159 and email service, workcomp@1stemployment.net, to take your report. It’s your responsibility as our employee to report your injury to 1st Employment prior to receiving any medical treatment otherwise WC insurance will not cover. The customer is NOT responsible for reporting your incident/accident nor authorized to approve treatment. Any person who knowingly presents a false or fraudulent claim for the payment of a loss is guilty of a Class D felony, and may be subject to maximum imprisonment in the state prison for up to six (6) years, or by a fine of up to $10,000, or by both. In such cases, the Insurance Commissioner will refer the matter to the local prosecuting attorney. * 17. Horseplay: Any unsafe act which may distract or endanger you or other employees will not be tolerated regardless of whether or not someone is injured * 18. Job Changes: In order to ensure your safety, it is very important that 1st Employment be advised immediately of any changes to your job title, department and/or primary job duties and tasks. In addition, you should never perform a job that you have not been properly trained and authorized to perform. * 19. Language: Only use work appropriate language. Obscenities or offensive language will not be tolerated. * 20. Housekeeping: Properly dispose of all trash and debris. Should you see any on the floor, please pick it up to reduce trip hazards. Keep all aisles, walkways and exits clear of obstacles. Clean up spilled materials on the floor immediately. Please properly dispose of personal hygiene products. Outside and in the break room, please dispose of all trash in the proper receptacles. * 21. Cell phones: No cell phones will be allowed while working on the production line. Receiving or making calls while on the floor is not permitted. Cell phones, however, are allowed in both the breakroom and outdoor area. * 22. Weapons: Weapons of any kind including guns, explosives or knives are prohibited on company property. * 23. Checks: Employee’s have the option to setup direct deposit to your checking or savings account or direct deposit to a Wisely Pay card which is available at the 1st Employment office. If neither option is selected, checks will be mailed out from the corporate office on Friday afternoons for all hours worked the previous week. Once checks have been mailed out, we have no control over when they will arrive at your address so we highly suggest setting up direct deposit. * All employees must properly wash their hands before starting work and after the following: using the restroom; handling raw food; touching hair, face, or body; sneezing or coughing; smoking; chewing tobacco or gum; eating or drinking; cleaning; taking out garbage; touching anything that may contaminate hands.
