Bereavement

Revolution understands that employees may need time away from work because of a death in their families.

Eligible part-time employees are defined as working an average of 10-30 hours per week and having completed one year of continuous employment. Employees may use available time off from Vacation or Personal policies to attend the funeral of other family or friends. For any leave requested, it is important to notify your Supervisor as soon as possible.

Food, Beer, and Merchandise

All Revolution employees are given a quarterly allowance to be spent on beer, food, and merchandise sold at the Taproom and Brewpub. Part-time Crew will be allocated $750 each quarter.


All employees receive 50% off after their balance has been used. Liquor is exempt from the allowance and is available for sale at a 50% discount at our Brewpub location to all Revolution employees. Brewpub managers or Taproom leads must be informed of and process payments of meals that do not count toward allowances, such as 100% comped Brewpub employee shift meals, client meetings, or other management approved outings prior to purchase.


Beer, Food and Merchandise Definitions

Beer includes draft, package, keg, and guest beer or cider purchases, along with wine. The allowance may be used to purchase specialty and Deep Woods packages and crowlers.


Food is any meal from our Brewpub or Taproom, eaten on or off premise. Orders must be placed through the Brewpub FOH Crew or a Taproom bartender. Other restrictions may apply and will be communicated separately from this policy.


Merchandise sold at the Brewpub or Taproom host stands is available for purchase. It may not be taken without prior approval from host stands or other storage areas. Removing merchandise without purchasing with either your allowance or cash is theft and subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.


Daily Shift Beer and Payday Beer

After their shift, Revolution employees may have 1 draft Shift Beer each day at either the Brewpub or Taproom (as open to staff) that does not count toward their quarterly allowance.


Additionally, Revolution employees may take home 1 case of beer (24 cans) every two weeks (period defined by our payroll) if they worked during the pay period. All employee beer must be taken from the employee beer area at the Kedzie location and signed out. If you do not follow the sign out procedure for beer, this privilege can be suspended or terminated.
