MYHEAT Covenant

1. The Spirit of Work

At MYHEAT, we believe work is a gift, a calling to serve others with excellence, creativity, and love. Every task, no matter how small, is an offering of grace.

• Sabbath Rest: We honor the sacred Sabbath and cease work from Friday at 15:00 through Saturday. This time is set aside for rest, renewal, and reflection on the blessings of creation.
• Sunday Opportunities: Work on Sundays is voluntary, respecting the unique responsibilities and needs of each team member.
• Work Hours:
• Monday to Thursday: Work hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with voluntary work beyond these times.
• Friday: Work hours are from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and all employees are expected to be available during this time.

2. Communication in a Remote Environment

As a remote company, smooth and consistent communication is essential. Employees are required to:

• Be available and responsive during working hours.
• Provide alternative contact information, such as a phone number, to ensure smooth communication if they cannot be reached on company platforms.

• Provide daily feedback on group platforms, including:
• What I did yesterday: A brief summary of completed tasks.
• What I plan to do today: An outline of intended goals or activities.
• Challenges: Any obstacles faced, so the team can offer support and solutions.
• This practice ensures transparency, accountability, and a collaborative spirit where team members help one another.
