Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one!
Trey says that he must give "two weeks" notice' to his current employer. The period of time that one is obliged to work after having handed in one's resignation letter is called "notice". The expression "to give notice (to one's employer)" signals the act of announcing one's departure or resignation. Two weeks is the standard period for this practice in the United States, and one month in Britain, depending on the type of position.
Bruno tells Trey that Polly will take care of Trey's "contract and any other formalities". Bruno is referring to the paperwork which must be taken care of before Trey can officially be considered a Delavigne employee.
Trey does not mention having to spend two weeks to find an apartment anywhere in this dialogue. Trey does tell Bruno that he must alert his current employer that he will be leaving them.
Although Trey mentions that he needs to give two weeks' notice to his current employer, he later agrees to begin working for the Delavigne Corporation that same day when pressured by Bruno. Bruno asks Trey "How about this afternoon?" referring to his starting date at the company. Trey replies by saying "that works for me", which means that he agrees to begin working immediately.
Bruno offers a T-shirt to Trey, saying that Bob has an extra one, but this doesn't suggest that there is a dress code at the company. A "dress code" is a series of rules or regulations concerning the way an employee must dress at work. The T-shirt Bruno offers is simply a gift to welcome him to the Delavigne family.
