I understand that the company reserves the right to modify, revoke, suspend, terminate, or change any or all policies, procedures, benefits, and rules of conduct, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without prior notice. I understand that no manager, supervisor, or representative of the company, other than the owner, has the authority to enter into any agreement with me for employment for a specified period of time or to make any agreement contrary to the foregoing.

Pursuant to the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, 820 ILCS 105/4(c) and the Wage Payment and Collection Act, 820 ILCS 115/4.1:

As a tipped employee of Around The Clock Restaurant & Bakery, you are hereby notified that your employer intends to claim a tip credit toward the applicable minimum wage obligation. This notice is provided to you in accordance with state and federal law.

Your rights under Illinois law:

• Your employer will pay you a direct cash wage of $9.00 per hour.
• Your employer claims a tip credit of $6.00 per hour toward the Illinois minimum wage of $15.00 per hour (effective January 1, 2026).
• You must retain all tips received, except for a valid tip pooling arrangement limited to employees who customarily and regularly receive tips.
• If your tips combined with the cash wage do not equal or exceed $15.00 per hour for any workweek, your employer is legally obligated to pay you the difference.
• The tip credit cannot be applied to any overtime hours. Overtime is calculated at 1.5x the full minimum wage.
• You may not be required to share tips with non-tipped employees (kitchen staff, dishwashers, management).

Tip Pooling Disclosure: If a tip pooling arrangement is in effect, it applies only among customarily tipped employees (servers, bartenders, bussers, hosts). Management and owners do not participate in the tip pool. The specific terms of the tip pool arrangement are outlined in the Employee Handbook.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have been informed of the tip credit provisions under Illinois law. I understand the amount of the cash wage I will receive, the amount of tip credit that will be claimed by my employer, and that all tips I receive are my property except for valid tip pooling arrangements. I understand that if my tips combined with my cash wage do not equal or exceed the minimum wage, my employer will make up the difference.

Restaurants and bars are subject to additional supplemental training requirements under the Hotel and Casino Employee Safety Act (SB0075). Failure to comply may result in civil penalties of up to $5,000 per offense.

By signing below, I confirm that I have completed the annual sexual harassment prevention training as required by Illinois law. I understand the company's policy prohibiting sexual harassment, and I know how to report incidents of harassment.

By signing below, both parties acknowledge that all company property listed above has been accounted for. Any items not returned may be subject to deduction from the employee's final paycheck in accordance with Illinois law (820 ILCS 115/9). The employee acknowledges that all company property, including but not limited to keys, access cards, uniforms, and equipment, is the property of Around The Clock Restaurant & Bakery and must be returned upon separation.
