The Word – 11/6/2015
Hello everyone. Winter is here and the mountain looks white and ready! Our first orientation is tomorrow so this week’s Word is all about the important information you need for that.
NEW! – Job Offers and Employee Paperwork
If you have received and sent back a Job Offer you will be receiving an email from HR today (before the end of the day) with a link to complete your employee paperwork. Last week we had expected these to have already gone out, and some of you may have received something but some will be getting theirs today.
Remember this replaces almost all the physical paperwork we had to do in years past. If you don’t get to it before hand you can complete the paperwork here tomorrow, but it will save you some waiting time and make for a smoother day for you if you have a chance to complete it before coming up. It should only take 10-15mins.
If you haven’t received a Job Offer yet but have finalized your schedule and are waiting on us please let us know. If you are sitting on one please get it back to us asap! If we are still working out a schedule with you no problem, there will be other orientations you can attend.
NEW! – The Next Orientation
If you cannot make it tomorrow the next orientation will be on Saturday December 5th from 11am – 3pm.
Background Check
Please remember also that many of you have not yet completed your background check. This is not required to attend tomorrow, but please complete this asap so we can get you fully hired and you are ready to teach. The background check comes through from a company called TalentWise and may have been filtered into your junk mail.
Timeline for Orientation
So here is what your day will look like tomorrow and a reminder about what to bring!
Before coming up…
It’s been snowing up here and the temps have dropped! The base area is mostly muddly but remember that a large portion of the orientation will be outside so wear winter clothes and shoes!
You will also need to bring some ID for HR and to complete paperwork. Plan to bring either:
- License + Social
- License + Birth Certificate
- Just your passport (nothing else needed with this)
Minors
Minors can bring School ID in place of a license and must also bring up everything else on the checklist in the packet we sent you.
11am: Locker Room (optional)
We will have the locker room open from 11am onwards. Please do not arrive before 11am as we have some interviews going on and would like to keep the locker room clear for those folks
You will be able to get lockers and sign-up for ordering business cards as well as say hi, store gear and eat cake!
12pm – 2pm: Company Orientation (paid)
Upstairs in the Granite Peaks Lodge. The format will be different than in years past, hopefully a little more engaging and interactive!
2pm – 3pm: Break
This is a chance to complete paperwork and submit copies of your IDs to HR. It’s also another chance to swing by the locker room, unload your gear and get cake!
3pm – 4pm: Ski and Snowboard School Meeting (paid)
Upstairs again in the Granite Peaks Lodge. We will go over some of the basics of working within the school and talk about what’s new and what your next steps are.
Passes and Uniforms
Unlike in year’s past we will not be administering uniforms at orientation this year. We will get these to you as you start coming onto the work schedule.
Passes will also be given out at a later date. We’ll have some more info on this tomorrow.
See you tomorrow!
Oh, and in case you’ve been out of the weather loop, this was taken 2 days ago…
