Michael was recently promoted and shortly after getting promoted to Manager he recruited David to come work at the store. Michael and David played football together in high school and their children attend the same high school. Ultimately, Michael and David have known each other for over 25 years. Austin is new to the area, but he young and eager to do well at the convenience store. He previously lived in Texas, but little is known about why he relocated to the area. Both Austin and David have requested as many shifts as possible at the store with the hope of maximizing their take home pay. Both employees put forth equal effort on the job; however, Austin has appeared visibly frustrated in recent weeks. Michael noticed that the cash register has been missing approximately $100 each day for the last several days. Michael suspects Austin given his recent change in behavior and knows that he needs to have a conversation with him at some point. nepuscolor combat Exhibit A shows the typical weekly timecard for Austin and David. The standard shift runs from 9am to Spm and if you work more than five 8-hour shifts, you qualify for overtime pay which pays 50% more per hour for each hour you work that is overtime. The time noted in Exhibit A is the time that the employee stamped their timecard upon arrival. The term "no shift" means that an Associate was not scheduled for a shift for that day. Exhibit B outlines the division of responsibility for Associates (not Managers). Responsibilities are assigned based off of who arrives at the store for their shift first versus who arrives at the store for their shift second. If only one Associate is working, typically the only responsibilities completed are those related to running the cash register and refilling hot dogs.
