SKILL LEVELS AND ADVANCEMENT:

Electrical employees are categorized into three different skill levels beginning with level 1, with the highest level being 3. The advancement of an employee to a higher skill/wage level shall be made only when the Company has a continuing need for an employee to perform work at that level and when the employee convincingly meets the next level’s criteria. An employee’s immediate supervisor may recommend that they be advanced. This nomination will be reviewed by at least the Director of Manufacturing for approval with input from the Boat Managers, Electrical Coordinator or Engine Room Coordinator.

Employees should expect that based on the ability of the person involved, they may move up a level or stay at the current level for longer periods than others working around them. In extremely rare cases, some may remain at their current skill level indefinitely. Although this would not be the Company’s goal, and likely not the goal of most employees, management does recognize that certain individuals are either unable or unwilling to learn the skills required to attain a higher level. Some employees may learn and adapt more quickly than others.

We are equally committed to creating an environment of continuous learning, creativity and process improvement whereby our wealth of talent and knowledge may be grown and developed on behalf of ourselves, Burger Boat Company and its customers.
