Section I - Continued Section I – Facts About Educational Bootcamp OUR STORY :
Educational Bootcamp was founded in 2005 by a team of educators and curriculum specialists. The purpose of the project was to strengthen the testing aptitude of school-aged students grades K – 8. The Science and Mathematics Bootcamp games were created from Educational Bootcamp’s quest for learning improvement. Teacher-made and student - approved, our games have proven to be a fun approach to the mastery of mathematics and science skills and the preparation of students for standardized testing.
WHO ARE WE :
For many consecutive years, all schools that use our Math & Science programs with fidelity, coupled with training, have increased their test scores significantly within the first year.
Educational Bootcamp offers teacher resources, hands-on fun and games that are rigorous, yet fun to play, and develop the core mathematics and science skills necessary for students to master the state assessment. The Educational Bootcamp products are an effective researched-based intervention for classrooms and/or small groups of students.

Section II – Continued Section II – Policies & Procedures on Time & Attendance / Paid Time Off CLOCKING IN • Clock in when you get to work, clock out for your Lunch Break, clock back in from your Lunch Break, and clock out for the day when you leave using Homebase. If your time needs to be adjusted for a valid reason, please use the Chat Box via Homebase system so that Managers are notified and can make necessary adjustments timely. • Staff is permitted to leave the office during their break & lunch periods. However, persons who find it necessary to leave the building at any other time during the workday must have approval from a Manager. In case of an emergency, please notify one of the Managers that you need to leave and may (not) return to work. • Each employee is entitled (by Florida Law), to have a 10 minute paid Break every 4 hours, and a 30 minute unpaid break every 6 hours; these breaks are mandatory.
PURPOSE Educational Bootcamp recognizes the importance of employees having the opportunity to have leisure time and attend to non-work matters. Therefore, the company will attempt to grant all full time employees Paid Time-Off (PTO) at the time they desire to take it. However, the company must maintain adequate staffing at all times.
ELIGIBILITY All regular, full-time, employees are eligible for Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual on an hourly basis. A fulltime day is equivalent to 7 to 8 hours per day and must be working 5 days per week.
PAID TIME OFF (PTO) PLAN Employees will accrue paid time off (PTO) which will be given with a flexible arrangement of usage at the employee’s discretion. These days can be used for sick time, personal, vacations, Jury Duty, or for any other reason the employee may need to take time off.
REQUESTING PTO An employee may request to use their Paid Time-Off (PTO) as early as necessary or as late as one hour before they are scheduled to report to work through Homebase. The request must be made 1 hr. prior to your scheduled shift. if not, paid time off will not be granted.
If you need to leave early, but are not using PTO, let Durrell, Carol, & Yasmin know through the Homebase messaging system. You do not need to request time off for leaving early if it is unpaid.
PTO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS When conflicts develop, they will be resolved fairly, but as deemed appropriate by management. All other factors being equal, preference will generally be given to the employee who makes the earliest request, but other legitimate factors may be considered, including seniority and the amount of vacation time already taken by the employees involved.
BLACK-OUT TIMES During Black-out times (usually August 2 - September 16), paid time off will not be granted. The dates will be announced and placed in writing each year but will always fall between August 2 through September 16. NOTE: If leave is taken during this time, it must be taken without pay.
VOTING Registered Voters may use their Leave to exercise their Voting Rights. Please place a request via Homebase system when doing so. You will be charged Leave for whatever time you’re not clocked-in.
INTERNS If hired as a full-time employee, full-time benefits will apply.
MINIMUM PTO TIME INCREMENTS Vacation may be taken by eligible employees, with prior supervisory approval, at times that best meet the requirements of the company. Employees must take PTO time in increments of at least one hour. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to monitor such absences and to ensure that they do not become excessive in relation to the hours worked by the employee. The time off request must be made through HOMEBASE one hour in advance to using the time.
NOTICE OF ABSENTEEISM Generally, time off that exceeds two days must be submitted for approval through HOMEBASE at least one week in advance. Sick days may be called in no later than one hour prior to the employee’s official start time. If the employee is requesting vacation leave for family or medical purpose, the employee should make sure that this purpose is made clear to management. The supervisor must approve any exceptions to this provision or any conflicts in scheduling. Management may impose additional guidelines as necessary to ensure efficiency and adequate staffing levels.
In cases of emergency and / or if an employee becomes ill at work, they can request to use their PTO during their shift one hour before they leave via the Homebase system. If the employee cannot wait the hour, they may leave, but their paid time off will begin once the hour has come.

Section II – Continued RESIGNITION BY ABANDONMENT Job abandonment is failure to show up for work for two consecutive days without prior notice. This action is considered resignation and will NOT be negotiated for reinstatement. Furthermore, employees that do not give notice prior to the start of their shift, will not be paid. **Note: All verbal requests for shift changes or PTO will not be official. All requests must be made through Homebase.
ROLLOVER PRACTICES
Section II – Continued Example 3: Employee starts September 31, 2020: His/her vacation will begin to accrue on December 31, 2020. The second step will occur until January 1, 2022. This employee was hired before the January 1st start date. All employees hired before July 2020 will begin their next increment on their anniversary date but will be moved one increment up on January 1, 2021. As of January 2, 2021, all employees will no longer increase their anniversary date, but instead on January of each year.
Up to 40 hours of unused PTO days may be rolled over to the next year beginning December 31st of the current year. Unused days will be lost.
PAYMENT AND UNUSED LEAVE
ACCRUED VACATION TIME 2021 ( Clerical / Warehouse Employees ) based on 260 days
Employees will NOT receive pay for PTO time upon termination or resignation.
RIGHT TO CHANGE PTO LEAVE AT ANY TIME While it is the goal of the company to remain consistent in the PTO offerings, Educational Bootcamp does reserve the right to increase or decrease leave allowances at any time. It is our goal to have employees earn PTO time at a rate that is in alignment with national standards for our industry. However, in extreme unforeseen cases adjustments to work hours, PTO offerings, and layoffs may be necessary.
ACCRUAL PTO by the eligible employee is earned and will accrue hourly for the hours worked and/or for approved PTO time or fraction thereof, amounts: PTO Increments will occur for every full-time employee on January 1st of each year. An employee that leaves for more than 260 workdays will start all over again at year 1. New employees will begin to accrue after 90 days but will not get their 1st step until they have completed at least one full calendar year from January to January of the following year.
