Employment FAQs

The HR department will send you a link prior to your start date to complete your new hire paperwork online. The remainder of the new hire paperwork will be done onsite and before you start working. At that time, you will be enrolled in the Time Clock and your uniforms will be issued. You will not be able to start working for us until you have provided these documents and followed through with all HR requirements. There will be no exceptions, so please come prepared. The Human Resources office is open six days a week during the summer season.

We suggest you bring clothing for four seasons to be ready for rainy days and colder nights, as well as the required items to accompany your uniform. Please avoid bringing large electronics, stereo systems, any cooking or heating equipment, and multi-outlet plugs. You may bring a small TV with you. Here are some additional items that you may want to bring:

• Full rain gear (jacket, pants, and boots) and umbrella
• Bike & lock (you will need to get a license at the police station)
• Backpack
• Waterproof spray
• Coat with or a hood and hat and gloves along with boots or rain boots
• Hangers and iron for your clothing
• Laundering items; laundry bag to take clothes to the laundry area
• Organizational contains for the bathroom, clothes, shoes, snacks, etc.
• Power cords and power strip
• Bring 2 of everything you need for toiletries, etc. It’s easier to have stuff on hand!
