Administrative

Work begins at or before 9 am each morning.  There is an hour given for lunch.  Work ends 8 hours after it begins, but only a half hour of the one hour lunch time counts towards an 8 hour day.  For example, if you start at 9 am and take a one hour lunch at noon, then the end of the workday would be 5:30 pm.

A desk, chair, laptop, keyboard, mouse, power supply, and multi-monitors will be provided for you, as well as unfettered access to the kitchen and restrooms.

If you choose to work from home on either Monday or Friday or both, you must be able to provide a clean, quiet workspace you can work in for 8 hours without interruption and distraction.  You must provide your own internet service.  You must have a cell phone that you are willing to allow Winston to set up 2FA using Microsoft Authenticator on.
