We are happy to work with you to accommodate vacations or other personal plans. We do ask that these plans be discussed at the beginning of the season so we can plan accordingly.

8. What if I get sick or need a day off?

We understand that people do get sick. We do ask that you let us know as early as possible when this happens. Call your supervisor so he or she can make arrangements. If you need a day off, let your supervisor know ahead of time. Schedules are made three weeks ahead of time. If you discover you need a day off after schedules are made, you must find your own substitute.
