RE:  Offer of Employment

 

Dear Domonic,

 

Shift Human Capital Management., Inc dba ShiftableHR, is pleased to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer. The following provisions outline the terms of our employment offer to you, should you accept.

 

Your first day of hire will be targeted for Thursday, August 1, 2019 . We understand that you may need to give your current employer notice, which may cause a slightly later start date. Your pay will begin effective with the start date of your employment.

 

You will be reporting directly to Scott Absher, our C.E.O. Your home base will be in our Corporate office in Irvine, California. Your beginning salary will be $29,166.67 per month, paid on a semi-monthly basis ($14,583.33 per pay period.) This is a full-time, exempt position, and you will not be entitled to overtime.

 

This pay plan may be changed at any time, without notice, at the sole discretion of ShiftableHR. However, no changes to the pay plan will be effective unless in writing and signed by the President of ShiftableHR. No oral representation contrary to this pay plan is contractually binding.

 

ShiftableHR’s pay period is Semi-Monthly. All employees are paid on the 5 th and 20 th of each month. For the pay period between the 1 st and the 15 th of the month, the employees are paid by the 20 th of that month. For the pay period between the 16 th and the end of the month, employees are paid by the 5 th of the following month. When the 5 th or the 20 th of the month fall on a Saturday, you would be paid on the preceding Friday. If the 5 th or the 20 th of the month fall on a Sunday or Monday Holiday, you would be paid on the following business day.

 

You will be eligible for the paid holidays and start to accrue paid time off effective your hire date. During your first year of employment, you will accrue 4 weeks of paid time off.

 

In addition, you will become eligible for additional employee benefits (unless you waive such benefits) as specified in your employee handbook on the first day of the month following your date of hire.
