Q: When do I get to go onto nights/weekends?

A: The answer to this question really all depends upon the progress we as a team feel that you are making. The goal of the training program, coupled with the 30-60-90 development is to outfit you with both the knowledge and confidence to succeed as a server here at Bob Chinn's. The decision to move from lunch to night/weekends is weighed out many factors including but not limited to: menu comprehension, service skills, adaptability, work production, dependability, SOP adherence, communication, problem solving and safety/ sanitation compliance. Throughout the initial 90 days of your employee, we strive to maintain an open line of communication regarding your standing and create a dialog in which we can work simultaneously to achieve the desired outcome in the most efficient way.      

 

Insurance

Q: What if I do not elect to participate in the group's health insurance at the time that it is offered?

A: If you choose not to participate because you are under another group's health coverage or because you are waving benefits, the next opportunity would be a "Life Qualifying Event," such as:

                                       Gain or loss of coverage from another source

                                       Birth/adoption/change of custody of a child

                                       Marriage or divorce

                                       Death

                                       Dependent changing from ineligible to eligible status or vice versa

                                       Move out of your medical plan's coverage area

    You must notify the Human Resources Department no later than 30 Days from the time of the event. Open Enrollment is another time in which you will be able to sign up for benefits, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements.
