In this section, we explain our employee contract types and define our basic employment policies.

Employment Contract Types

Full-time employees work at least 30 hours per week or 130 hours per month on average.

Part-time employees are those who work fewer than 30 hours per week.

Full-time and part-time employees can have either temporary or indefinite duration contracts. Full-time employees under an indefinite duration contract may be entitled to our company's full benefits package.

We remind you that, in the U.S., employment is "at-will." This means that you or our company may terminate our employment relationship at any time and for any non-discriminatory reason(s).

Equal Opportunity Employment

Origin Coffee Bar is an equal opportunity employer. We don't tolerate discrimination against protected characteristics (gender, age, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, disability, veteran status.) We want all employees (including executives and Management) to treat others with respect and professionalism. In practice, this means that we:

• Hire and promote people based on skills, experience or potential and try to reduce bias in every process (e.g. through structured interviews.)
• Make accommodations to help people with disabilities move about safely on our premises and use our products, services and equipment.
• Use inclusive, diversity-sensitive language in all official documents, signs, and job ads.
• Conduct diversity and communication training.

Apart from those actions, we commit to penalizing every discriminatory, offensive or inappropriate behavior. To do this properly, we ask you to report any discriminatory action against yourself or your colleagues to Management. Our company will not retaliate against you if you file a complaint or discrimination lawsuit. Any employee who retaliates or discriminates will face disciplinary action. For additional information, please reference the section entitled Harassment and Violence in Workplace Policies: Safety, Health, & Confidentiality.

Recruitment and Selection Process

Our hiring steps might vary across roles, but we always aim for a recruitment and selection process that is fair and effective in hiring great people. If you are hiring for an open role, you will likely go through these steps:

1. Identify the need for a new job opening.
2. Decide whether to hire externally or internally.
3. Review Job Descriptions and write a job ad.
4. Get approval for your job ad.
5. Select appropriate sources (external or internal) to post your job opening.
