白领口语应急80主题 入职之初13 了解公司规定

13.了解公司规定

常用应急场景

范例一：Security regulations

Lucy, I’d like to fix the light in the corridor, it keeps flashing, which drives me crazy. Would you like to help me with the ladder?

Monica, wait a moment. I think we’d better call the repair man to do it.

I think I can handle it by myself.

I’d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company.

I see. If I got hurt when fixing the light, even during office hours, I wouldn’t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility.

Other company rules also need your attention.

Like this one?

Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder.

Yeah, thank you for telling me.

Don’t mention it.

范例二：Work time and breaks

Didn’t you punch in this morning, Monica?

Sorry, I don’t know the rule about punching.

That’s ok. I should have told you earlier. This is a company rule.

Do we also need to punch out after work?

According to the company rule, we should punch in before 8 o’clock and punch out after 5 o’clock every work day.

How about the lunch break, Lucy?

From 11:30 to 1 o’clock.

May I ask whether we need to work overtime¹?

Sometimes, but not quite often.

范例三：Work taboos²

May I ask whether we are allowed to wear casual clothes in the office?

Sure, company rules are not very strict at this point.

Thank you for telling me that.

But remind you, there are some forbidden activities.

What are they? I’ll be careful.

Don’t use office phones for personal matters.

I got it.

Never ever come to work drunk, also smoking in the office is not allowed.
