Working for NRI as a temporary employee means joining a team built on professionalism and support. This page outlines your responsibilities under our Code of Professionalism, from communication and office etiquette to payroll and benefits, along with key policies on workers’ compensation, harassment, drug testing, and equal employment opportunity.
When you work for NRI, you will be expected to follow our Code of Professionalism and our other Policies for Temporary Employees. These include:
NRI serves as the liaison between you and the client — we are your employer. If you have any questions or are confused by any directions given to you by a client, please call your recruiter for clarification. Please also keep the following guidelines in mind:
Give yourself extra time so that you arrive punctually at your assignment.
Personal phone calls should be made during your lunch breaks, not during working hours. Do not make long distance calls unless they are work related. You may give your local NRI office phone number to your family, and we will direct only emergency phone calls to you.
Surfing the web, e-mail and other uses of the client’s computer system and equipment are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. You also cannot use services that will result in an expense for the client (i.e. FedEx or courier services). The only exception should be the use of the fax machine to submit your weekly timesheet or the Internet to submit your e-time.
Every office has its own way of doing things. In order to ensure that your experience at your assignment is positive, please keep these guidelines in mind:
WEEKLY TIMESHEETS AND PAYCHECKS – Please remember that submitting your time is your responsibility. NRI’s work week runs Monday through Sunday. Our electronic timesheets allow you to send us your hours over the web. After you have gone out on an assignment, you will register with PeopleNet in order to enter your time. Registration creates your personal account and password. All time should be entered by Sunday at midnight each week.
NRI temporaries qualify after working 1,000 total hours. You must work at least 100 hours in the preceding calendar month and work the day before, the day of, or the day after the holiday. Pay is 7 hours at your average hourly rate for the holiday week.
Eligible Holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
If you are injured on the job, immediately contact your NRI office. If you require medical treatment, we will give you a toll free number to call to obtain a list of physicians that are registered to handle on-the-job injuries. In Virginia, you must use one of the physicians on the “work-related injury physician’s panel.” For Maryland and DC, we recommend that you use the physician panel to help expedite treatment and payment for all injury-related medical bills.
It is the policy of NRI to forbid all forms of discrimination based upon race, color, creed, religion, marital status, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, income level, personal appearance, physical handicap, family responsibilities, matriculation or political affiliation. This policy provides for disciplinary action against violators of this policy. It is the responsibility of all employees of NRI to report any suspected discrimination violations to the President and/or Executive Vice President of the company immediately.
It is NRI’s policy that all employment relationships shall be conducted in an environment that is not hostile or offensive. Sexual harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as name calling, obscene jokes, sexually suggestive comments, or other such behavior that is considered offensive. NRI will not tolerate such behavior. If you believe that you have been subject to harassment by any person in connection with your employment at NRI, you should immediately bring the matter to the attention of your immediate supervisor or any member of management at NRI with whom you feel most comfortable. All complaints of harassment will be investigated promptly and, where necessary, corrective action will be taken.
Certain client companies require that temporaries assigned to work for them have passed a urinalysis or other appropriate clinical test(s) designed to identify the use of drugs. We may ask you to submit to such a test for these clients. You are not required to submit to the test, but if you do not do so, you will not be eligible for assignment to the client companies who require such a test. Your decision not to submit to the test will not otherwise affect your status with NRI. If you agree to submit to such testing, however, and the results are positive, your employment with NRI will be immediately terminated.
