Training Expectations and Certification Guidelines


WELCOME TO MACYS!

Training is a very important part of your overall development and eventual success in Alorica. To make sure your training experience is rewarding
for both you and the company, there are several things you need to know.

Training Method – Face to Face

Training Timelines: PST – 15 days | Nesting – 15 days

Code of Conduct

 Language in the Workplace and English Only Policy (EOP). As Alorica provides call services to American customers, employees, including
trainees are required to speak American-English only during training.
 Professionalism. Conversation within the classroom should remain professional. Do not engage or initiate conversation that will result
into conflict.
 Participate! Macys Training focuses on discussion-based learning. You are expected to participate in the discussions but should respect
others and allow them their opportunity to speak as well. When someone is talking, show your respect and listen to him or her.
 Be honest. It is each employee’s responsibility to always do the right thing. This means that employees must conduct their daily business
with honesty and integrity. Cheating during Assessments or Verbal Tests, including giving out test questions/scenarios and/or answers to
other trainees, will result to disqualification and/or non-regularization of your probationary employment.
 Keep your trainer informed. Reach out to your trainer for any concerns.

A. Attendance Policy for New Hire Product Specific Training and ABay

Any violation of the following during the Product Specifics Training and Academy Bay will result to disqualification and/or non-regularization of
your probationary employment.

 Absences are not tolerated during the entire Product Specifics Training and Academy Bay. One (1) absence will disqualify you from the
program and your employment with Alorica will be terminated if valid emergency documentation supporting the reason/s for your ab-
sence is not presented.
 You are only given an accumulated 45 tardy minutes (late login without prior notice) or a total of 3 occurrences of tardiness during the
entire product training period. Anything more than 45 minutes of tardiness may lead to disqualification from the program.

Any exemption to the above provision is subject to the approval of the program’s Director as supported by valid documentation to justify
attendance incidents.

To establish the process of receiving agent attendance notification and maintaining record of all notification information, trainees are required to
notify their trainer via SMS using the format below. This should be sent at least 1 (one) hour prior to their start time.

Attendance standing will be penalized with points system. Each type of attendance occurrence has a corresponding point value (listed below).
These values will be assigned to each occurrence unless excused under the occurrence exception process outlined in Section 4.6. of the company’s
attendance policy.

The applicable attendance occurrence point will be given to an employee who is either tardy, absent, under time or FTN (Failure to Notify).
Employees are expected to manage their attendance and absences. An attendance point for each occurrence will count toward their total point
count. Any excess of eight (8) POINTS is ground for termination, subject to due process.

An employee who fails to follow the Absentee Notification Procedure shall be subject to a disciplinary action.

Notwithstanding the provisions on attendance management as stipulated above, any violation of the Code of Conduct, Employee Handbook and all
allied company policies during training, may lead up to disciplinary action, including dismissal, with due process.

Regular Employees in Training (Product Specific Training and ABAY)

 Regular employees who have shown non-compliance to attendance as provisioned by this Training Agreement will result to disqualifica-
tion and may result to a disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Attendance point will also be issued accord -
ingly.

representatives from Operations, Training and Quality Teams. During deliberation, aside from the metrics mentioned above, attitude and behavior
will also be discussed and measured objectively. Failure to meet the targets may lead to cessation of training.

Successful candidates after ABAY will be endorsed to Productions.

These expectations are necessary to ensure a successful training experience that shall adequately prepare the trainees for their position as an
Agent.

4. Misrepresentations or falsifications found during or after submission of documents; and
