Team Member Responsibilities
Each team member is expected to abide by the 14 points of culture and has a
responsibility to represent MCS in the most positive manner possible. You are an
ambassador for our company wherever you go. In dealing with client complaints, it is
important that you listen, acknowledge the problem and apologize for any errors on
behalf of the company, as if you were personally responsible for the mistake. Never
make disparaging remarks about MCS as a company or any team member individually.
This simply undermines the credibility of the company as a whole and you as a team
member.
As a Metro Computax Services, Inc. team member, our clients will provide you private
information. All information is considered confidential and should not be discussed
with anyone other than a manager or senior team member as needed to resolve tax
preparation questions. Additionally, each team member also has the duty to report
suspected fraud to a Manager or Supervisor as soon as possible.
Team Member Conduct
Any team member conduct that, in the opinion of MCS, interferes with or adversely
affects our business is sufficient grounds for disciplinary action. This action can range
from verbal warnings to immediate discharge. Depending on the conduct, disciplinary
steps are taken in the following order: verbal warnings, written warnings, suspension
and termination. Examples:
Not arriving on time and/or adhering to approved schedules
Unauthorized internet or company phone card usage
Failure to scan all required documents within twenty-four (24) hours of the
preparation of the tax return may result in penalties including, but not limited to,
bonus and/or wage garnishment.
Personal cell phone usage
Inappropriate dress attire
Working additional hours without approval
We will consider several factors when deciding on a course of action, including the
seriousness of the conduct, previous employment record, your ability to correct the
behavior, and action taken previously for similar conduct. Actions that may result in
immediate dismissal include but are not limited to:
Theft of company property
Arguing with clients or co-workers (especially in front of clients)
Team Member Manual
6
Tardiness or absenteeism
Use of alcohol or illegal drugs during scheduled work time
Coming to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Violating company rules and/or policies
Changing of preparer id numbers on tax returns
Unlawful discrimination or harassment
Adding or deleting programs on the computer
Bringing your personal computer into the office
Handing out your own business card
Taking JH or client’s paperwork out of the office
You may terminate your employment at any time, and the company reserves the same
right, subject to the terms of your employment contract.
Violations of Company Policy
In the event that a Team Member violates any Company policy, procedure and/or
principle, the Team Member will be subject to a face-to-face meeting with a member of
Company management. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the infraction and
determine a course of action on behalf of the Team Member. The Team Member's
employment may be subject to termination.
Work Schedule
MCS depends heavily on its Team Members to carry out the work of its franchise;
therefore, reliable, consistent attendance is an important requirement. Your fellow
Team Members and our clients rely on you.
It is the responsibility of each Team Member to
inform their manager or supervisor immediately, in
writing via JHnet, if there is a change in their
availability.
If the change in availability is permanent, fill out
a new “Work Availability Form” and email it
(via JHnet) to your manager or supervisor.
It is the responsibility of each Team Member to:
To know their work schedule and to report to
work as scheduled.
Team Member Manual
7
To arrive at work ten (10) minutes prior to the beginning of their shift.
To be prepared to work once they clock in.
To not clock in early without the permission of their supervisor.
To clock in on the Jackson Hewitt software time clock.
To speak to their supervisor if they have any questions about their scheduled
time.
Absence and Tardiness
All offices are to be opened at the scheduled time. Throughout the season, our office
hours will change. You should arrive ten minutes prior to your scheduled time to
prepare for work. Your dependability is critically important to the smooth flow of
business. Your failure to report to work as scheduled will impact clients and co-workers
alike.
Under some circumstances, absence or tardiness on the Employee's part may be
excused, but only if proper notice is given before the start of their shift. "Proper notice"
means:
That during normal business hours you will call your immediate supervisor or the
manager on duty at a designated number for such calls six (6) hours prior to the
start of your shift and personally notify them about the problem, unless a
verifiable emergency makes it impossible for you to do so.
If you are scheduled to work at 9:00 AM or are the opening preparer you need to
contact your Area Manager twelve (12) hours prior to your scheduled shift.
It is not sufficient to call in and leave a message with a co-worker or someone else who
is not in a supervisory position including the Call Center.
If you fail to give proper notice of attendance problems in advance as explained in this
policy, you may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and possibly including
discharge.
Since the tax season is so compressed, unreported or unexcused absences in excess of
two occasions may result in termination of employment and forfeit any discretionary
bonus(es).
Tardiness is a reflection of poor planning and is inexcusable. Be sure to leave home
earlier if travel conditions warrant it. In the event that you will be late for work, call the
office and advise your Manager or Supervisor (or co-worker in the Manager’s or
Supervisor’s absence) so adjustments can be made for coverage until your arrival.
Team Member Manual

Mandatory Training & Designated
Meetings
To qualify for mandatory training and designated
meeting pay all Team Members must complete the
Attendance Sign-In Sheet and Attendance Sign-Out
Sheet (when applicable) for the training session(s) that
they attend.
Failure to complete Attendance Sign-In and/or Sign-Out
Sheet(s) for mandatory training and designated
employee meetings may result in either delay or
forfeiture of training pay.
Timecards
All Team Members shall use the MCS designated system to enter your time “in” when
beginning the day or returning to work and time “out” for lunch, personal time off, or
when leaving for the day.
Each Team Member must review and accept their hours at the end of each shift and/or
workweek acknowledging that the hours on our system are correct. If a Team Member
fail to review and accept their hours, MCS will not be held responsible for the accuracy
of their payroll check. Therefore, MCS will not correct the payroll check until the
following pay period.
Since timecard information does not appear in JHnet until it is uploaded to the home office
mainframe and then to corporate (File Transfer), the information will not immediately be
available on JHnet.
If a Team Member fails to clock in or out, or makes an error in recording their time,
they are to immediately bring it to the attention of their supervisor or manager in
writing using Jackson Hewitt’s intranet service (JHnet). Failure to clock in or out may
result in a delay in receiving compensation for that period. Any discrepancies in a Team
Member's payroll check due to failure to clock in or out are the responsibility of the
Team Member; a Team Member will not receive compensation for discrepancies until
their supervisor or manager is made away of the error.
Team Member Manual
9
Clocking another Team Member in or out, or in any way falsifying your own time or
that of anyone else, is a serious offense and may be grounds for dismissal.
Timecard Adjustment
Timecard adjustment requests must be submitted in writing via JHnet to the Team
Member’s immediate supervisor or manager.
All requests must be submitted on or before close of business the following day
after the payroll period ends.
Any requests received after the deadline will result in the requested adjusted time to
be paid retroactively during the next payroll cycle after it is received.
All time card adjustment requests MUST include the following information and be in
the following format:

Sexual Harassment
MCS is committed to providing a work environment where women and men can work
together comfortably and productively, free from sexual harassment. Such behavior is
illegal under Federal and Virginia Law and will not be tolerated.
This policy applies to all phases of employment including recruitment, testing, hiring,
promotion or demotion, transfer, layoff, termination, rates of pay, benefits and
selection for training, travel or company social events.
Prohibited Behavior
Prohibited sexual harassment includes unsolicited and unwelcome contact that has
sexual overtones. This includes:
Written contact, such as sexually suggestive or obscene letters, notes or invitations.
Verbal contact, such as sexually suggestive or obscene comments, threats, slurs,
epithets, jokes about gender specific traits, sexual propositions.
Physical contact, such as intentional touching, pinching, brushing against another’s
body, impeding or blocking movement, assault, and coercing sexual intercourse.
Visual contact, such as leering or staring at another’s body, gesturing, displaying
sexually suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons, posters or magazines.
Sexual harassment also includes continuing to express sexual or social interest after
being informed directly that the interest is unwelcome and using sexual behavior to
control, influence or affect the career, salary or work environment of another team
member.
It is impermissible to suggest, threaten or imply that failure to accept a request for a
date or sexual intimacy will affect a team member’s job prospects. For example, it is
forbidden to either imply or actually withhold support for an appointment, promotion,
or change of assignment, or suggest that a poor performance report will be given
because a team member has declined a personal proposition.
Harassment by Non-Team Members
In addition, MCS will take all reasonable steps to prevent or eliminate harassment by
non-team members including clients and suppliers who are likely to have workplace
contact with our team members.
