Probationary Period All new staff members of the BC Games Society are subject to a minimum three-month probationary period, which allows the staff member and the BC Games Society to determine if the position and organization is a suitable fit. If either party decides to end the relationship during this time, the BC Games Society will adhere to the notice requirements for termination as outlined in the BC Employment Standards Act . Hours of Work and Overtime Regular full-time working hours are 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30. At BC Games Society, we offer flexible working hours to encourage a healthy work-life balance. Staff members are professionals, trusted to get the job done. Due to the nature of our work at the BC Games Society, there can be periods of high workload and busy times, which may require additional hours of work. It is understandable that at times staff members may be required to adjust their work schedule to accommodate meetings and/or work obligations/responsibilities. It is also understandable that from time to time staff members may need to adjust their work schedule to accommodate personal obligations (i.e. childcare, personal appointments); practices associated with this apply as they would when staff are working in the office. Staff track overtime and lieu time is approved to account for the time worked. Attendance and Absenteeism It is the responsibility of each staff member to attend work as scheduled on a regular and consistent basis. Staff members are expected to be punctual and ready to commence work at the defined start time of their workday or what has been agreed to with the President and CEO.
