Mary
Hi Peter!
Peter
Hi Mary.
Mary
How's your first week of work going?
Peter
It's going really well.
I love the job and the team.
Mary
That's great!
Are you busy?
I want to discuss the office rules with you.
Peter
Did I do something wrong?
Mary
No, no! It's your first week.
I need to discuss the rules with all new employees.
Peter
Oh, okay!
Mary
Let's first talk about the working hours.
Employees must arrive at work by 9 a.m.
And they cannot leave work before 6 p.m.
Peter
What if I need to leave earlier?
Mary
If you need to leave before 6, you should tell me first.
Peter
I understand.
Mary
If you feel sick, you should apply for sick leave.
You can apply on our company's app.
And please tell me if you cannot come to work.
Peter
Sure. No problem.
Mary
Now let's talk about the dress code.
You don't need to wear a suit and tie.
Peter
Yeah… it's pretty formal.
Mary
The office dress code is business casual.
So you can wear a dress shirt and dress shoes.
Peter
Okay. Tomorrow I will wear something less formal.
Mary
But don't wear sneakers or jeans.
They're not allowed.
Mary
Well, those are the rules.
Do you have any questions?
Peter
Not at the moment.
Mary
If you do, don't be afraid to ask.
Peter
Sure thing.
Thank you for explaining the rules to me.
Mary
Of course!
