Double Strike Weekends - "Special" Weekends

Special weekends are decided by the management team as weekends where students are more likely to call off and/or the market is expected to be busier than normal. As with any shift, each employee scheduled to work is a valued member to the operation and your attendance is greatly appreciated. Picking up shifts during a special weekend will typically earn an employee more positive points. 

Double strikes will go into effect from the beginning of the Friday closing shift & end after the closing Sunday shift (ie all shifts from Friday close through Sunday close). Students calling off during a special weekend will receive double the number of strikes they would usually receive. For example, if a student already has one strike & calls off on a double strike weekend, that student will receive two more strikes & be placed on pending termination. 

Double strike days include:

• Opening weekend

• Parents weekend

• Homecoming 

• Halloween (block party weekend)

• Dad's weekend

• Martin Luther King Jr. Day

• Sibs Weekend

• All fest weekends

• Reopening days following Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break

• Mom's weekend

• Easter weekend

Finals Week

The markets are open for finals week until Friday afternoon. Students are expected to attend all of their regular shifts unless there is a final exam scheduled during the shift or the market is closed. Documentation for a student's final exam must be submitted to the appropriate email account before the shift will be excused.

Double strikes go into effect for all shifts during finals week from Sunday opening through Friday afternoon close down.

Additional positive points will be given to students who sign up to cover shifts during finals week. Note: at least one shift (4 hours) must be worked during finals week in order for an employee to remain eligible for a semester raise. 

Positive Points:

Redeem your earned positive points for some GREAT rewards!

• 10 points - meal ticket or free coffee card

• 20 points - free call off (must be used at least two weeks in advance)

• 30 points - strike removal (cannot be used on all strikes - please see an Office Assistant or Student Leader for details)

• 30 points - employee shirt or hat

• 50 points - Culinary Services sweatshirt

Meal Policy:

All meals must be consumed off premises, no dine-in is allowed.

• Every worker is allowed a free meal when working a 4-hour shift. 

Personal Days:

Things come up. Sometimes you need extra time to study or aren't feeling the best or life happens. We value each of our employees & their dedication to our team, but sometimes you just need a day. 

• Each student begins the semester with one Personal Day (free call off). This is a use it or lose it benefit. Students wishing to use their personal day must follow all of the procedures outlined below:

  • • Students must follow the proper call off policy for their venue & state their intention to use a Personal Day at the time of call off

    • Personal Days will not be permitted on double strike weekends/days, the Sunday following Thanksgiving Break, the Sunday following Spring Break, the opening day of the semester or finals week

    • These are offered on a first come, first served basis. Only two Personal Days per shift will be permitted in one day. 

• • Management has the right to suspend the Personal Day policy at any time. This is a benefit, DON'T ABUSE IT!

At the end of each semester, students will receive an email from their market regarding rescheduling. Please follow all instructions regarding scheduling. Students interested in transferring to another location should speak to a Student Coordinator or Hiring Manager. Transferring to another Culinary venue will allow students to keep their semester raises.
