(a) The manager is entitled to two (2) thirty (30) minute periods in which he/she may be away from the premises during the day so long as the manager is reachable by phone and can return to the shop within twenty (20) minutes in the event that a representative of the Board requests their presence, an employee or customer requires assistance, or for any other situation that would require the manager's presence.

(b) The manager's name must be posted and their license number must be available to any employee or customer of the shop. The manager or designated manager shall not be relieved of responsibility for compliance during those times when the manager is away from the premises.

(3) The shop manager must be licensed by this board for at least one (1) discipline that the shop is licensed to offer. Managers may manage employees across disciplines.
