Marshalltown Pre-Assignment Orientation for 1st Employment EmployeesPlease mark the button following each statement to indicate your compliance.MTO 1 Name * Name First First Last Last Phone * Email * Attendance: Every employee is expected to be at work on time each day; attendance is absolutely mandatory. A very high attendance standard is set for all employees assigned to MARSHALLTOWN. Absences and tardiness will not be tolerated. Per the attendance policy in 1st Employment’s Employee Handbook, employees who are unable to report to work on time or are unable to work as scheduled MUST notify 1st Employment as soon as possible and in advance of the tardiness/absence. Excessive tardiness and/or poor attendance will lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Any absence during the first 30 days of assignment could result in termination. At MARSHALLTOWN, all absences are considered unexcused unless Human Resources specifically tells you otherwise. * Employees who must miss or are going to be reporting in late to work need to contact both 1st Employment and MARSHALLTOWN at least 1 hour prior to their scheduled shift. * Arrival/Parking: Employees may park anywhere in the parking lot except in the visitor spaces located directly in front of the main office. On the first day of your assignment, you will report to the front desk of the Production Facility on Industrial Drive. Once you have been acquainted with your supervisor and you are more familiar with the facility, you will use the employee entrance. * Onboarding Training: Employees are required to participate in MARSHALLTOWN’s group onboarding safety training with human resources (“HR”) prior to beginning work. The safety training takes approximately 20-45 minutes to complete. You will be paid for the time spent in training. Upon the completion of the onboarding training you will be given a start date for your assignment. If you are assigned to work in the Distribution Center (“DC”) and scheduled to start after onboarding, you will complete training at the main office and then you will need to drive 0.6 miles to the DC. You will NOT have time to walk to the DC following the training. If you have arranged for someone to drop you off, make sure they wait until you have completed the onboarding training and can drive you to the DC. * Job Abandonment: Employees who do not report to their assignment (“no call/no show”), leave prior to the end of the shift without notifying and receiving approval from their MARSHALLTOWN supervisor AND a 1st Employment Staffing Representative or fail to call in at least 1 hour prior to the shift in cases of an absence and/or tardy will be dismissed from the assignment. The total hourly rate of pay may be adjusted to the Arkansas state minimum wage per hour for all hours worked the week of the abandonment for all assignments including but not limited to MARSHALLTOWN. If the employee no call/no shows on the first scheduled day of a new week, the total hourly rate of pay for the entire previous week may be reduced to the Arkansas state minimum wage rate of pay. * Physical Requirements: Employees may be required to lift up to 50 pounds on a regular basis. Bending at the knees and waist, the use of wrists, and constant standing are also essential physical requirements. * 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 50lbs repeatedly 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. 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 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. * 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. * Pre-Requisites: All candidates must pass a national criminal background check and a 12-panel drug screen. There are also tests that can be taken in the 1st Employment office which will be required to work at MARSHALLTOWN. * Work Environment: Some jobs are located in an environment in which temperatures may vary. Both facilities require extended periods of standing and/or walking. Production Facility: Climate-controlled environment with variable noise levels. Clean by manufacturing standards, but employees may work with oils or other substances that could come into contact with clothing. Distribution Center: Variable temperatures with low noise levels. The DC is heated during the winter months but can be cool near docking areas. There is no central air conditioning which can result in warmer temperatures within the facility. * Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”): Safety glasses and safety-toe shoes must be worn at all times within the production facility and the DC. Hearing protection will be provided for all areas in the production facility and must be worn at all times. Any employee found in violation of this policy will be disciplined up to and including termination. Any additional safety equipment needed to perform a job will be provided by MARSHALLTOWN and must be worn at all times. * Safety-Toe Shoes: Shoes must be OSHA-approved (Code ASTM F2413) which can generally be found on the tongue of the shoe. Safety-toe shoes must be worn on the first day when reporting for onboarding training and every day after that; HR WILL CHECK YOUR SHOES. * Dress Code: Report to work in a clean and neat way and wearing safety-toe shoes. Shirts should be tucked in if possible. Tank tops, midriff showing, see-through shirts, cutoff-sleeved shirts, baggy pants, or pants with holes are not acceptable.

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. Injury Reporting Procedures: 1st Employment’s policy requires that you notify both your On-Site Supervisor and your 1st Employment Representative of your injury immediately.
