network of the bright and talented, coming together to build up something truly
amazing by each placing their own unique piece into the puzzle, in turn

General Employment Statement
Voluntary Employment at Will
Unless expressly proscribed by statute
or contract, your employment is “at will.”
All Sapientia Studios employees are at will, which means they may be
terminated at any time and for any reason, with or without advance notice.
Employees are also free to quit at any time. Any employment relationship other
than at will must be set out in writing and signed by Sapientia Studios, as
represented by Ricardo Irizarry.
Work Schedule
Sapientia Studios has a voluntary
work schedule, meaning that each employee dictates for themselves when work will
be done and for how long. Employees are expected to meet certain production
goals and personal quotas within a reasonable given time frame in order to
maintain employment status. As part of each employee’s “at will” status, this
policy stands as a basis for termination after continuous unsatisfactory work
ethic following consultation.
Communication
Sapientia Studios aims to have a
global network of employees/volunteers, because of the remote nature of their
participation, communication is of extreme importance and will heavily depend
on social networking including but not exclusively; Facebook and/or Google+,
email, and video conferencing such as Skype, Google Hangout, and/or Facebook
Video. When a company website has been made live, much of company communication
will be facilitated by a company email address, blog and forum. All Sapientia
Studios employees/volunteers are expected to regularly check their registered
form of communication as well as any medium of official communication as
dictated by the company. Meetings may be arranged for progress tracking,
announcements, referendums, consultations, etc. When a meeting has been
scheduled, any and all employees involved are expected to be present adhering
to the scheduled time. Communication between employees/volunteers is encouraged
and any employee/volunteer may feel free to correspond with any member of
management for consultation.
Contributor Levels & Compensation
Freelancer
Freelancer status is granted to
all community contributions. A community contribution will be considered as any
development contribution made by any individual independently, without access
to any Sapientia Studios development resources other than those publically
posted. Freelancers can be one-time or repeated contributors but must agree to
a “Community Submission Agreement” which includes an Intellectual Property
Rights Waiver, waiving all contributor rights to any contribution so that their
contribution may be utilized. Access to project release stages is not implied
as a freelancer contributor, access must be granted by Sapientia Studios.
Volunteer
Volunteer status is granted to
all contributors which have signed the “Volunteer Handbook”, an Intellectual
Property Rights Waiver, waiving all contributor rights to any contribution so
that their contribution may be utilized, and a “Non-Disclosure Agreement” so
that the contributor may access Sapientia Studios development resources at the
appropriate department level. Volunteers are not subject to a work schedule and
are granted access to all project release stages but as part of the “Volunteer
Handbook”, each volunteer acknowledges their voluntary input as without
monetary compensation.
Part-Time Employee
Part-time employment status is
granted to all contributors approved by Sapientia Studios for employment after
an application has been submitted. Each employee must sign an Intellectual
Property Rights Waiver, waiving all contributor rights to any contribution so
that their contribution may be utilized, “Non-Disclosure Agreement” so that the
contributor may access Sapientia Studios development resources as necessary,
and an Employee Handbook “Acknowledgement of Receipt”. Part-time employees are
subject to all policies in the Employee Handbook, including being subject to a
work schedule. The Employee Handbook will be considered as the “Terms of
Agreement” in this case. Compensation will function as outlined in the Handbook
unless otherwise expressed.
Full-Time Employee
Full-time employment status is
granted to all part-employees approved by Sapientia Studios for full-time
employment whom apply for a full-time position when the position becomes
available. Full-time employees will be subject to higher workloads and
responsibilities, as well as a more rigid work schedule. Remote-Employment is
viable and valid but once Sapientia Studios has established itself to allow for
these positions, employees will be encouraged to move towards the Sapientia
Studios headquarters for work. Full-time employees will be granted full access
to company resources as deemed appropriate as well as have many more
unannounced opportunities within the company with direct access and influence
over company projects. Compensation will function as outlined in the Employee
Handbook unless otherwise expressed. Due to the current stage of the company,
full-time employment is unavailable and will be elaborated on as soon as it is
deemed viable.
