• Be on time. You must be on the show floor at the beginning of your scheduled shift. If that means showing up early to park, stow personal items, clock in, etc. then do so.
• Be flexible with your duties. Unless your role requires additional training (as with a Zone Supervisor), you are expected to take on the duties of another Show Attendant interchangeably (except in the case of medical reasons or if your proficiency in one area is such that you can take on a supervisory role and not switch).
• All pre-shift checklists need to be completed before the gates open. These are given to you by our ZS (Zone Supervisor).
• Employees are entitled to breaks (15 minutes for shifts shorter than 5 hours, 30 minutes for shifts of 5 hours or beyond). Your break time begins as soon as you leave your designated post. Please wait for your ZS to relieve you.

• While you may upload photographs to your social networking sites of yourself or any other employee taken in a work situation or in a work uniform, there are strict caveats. No defamatory comments about Glow should be made on such sites at any time; the photographs posted to social media sites should reflect a professional image of the company. Photographs with the following are not permitted: 
  • drugs and alcohol in the photos 
  • photographs that cause a health and safety risk 
  • photographs that do not fit with the brand or target audience. (Unsure? Ask)

• Any personal blogs should contain a disclaimer that the views expressed on it are personal views of the author only. 
• You should not at any time make comments on such sites which bring the organization into disrepute. 
• You should not at any time make comments on such sites which amount to bullying, harassment or any other detriment towards other employees/ contractors/suppliers/clients/customers or any other individual working in connection with us. 
• You should not use instant messaging whether on a computer or by any other means for personal interest during working hours. 

• No cell phone/smartphone/iPhone/iPod or similar device is permitted to be on any employee’s person while they are “on the floor.”
• Once you leave the breakroom, you are on the floor and must leave your personal items behind.
• Lockers are provided but locks are not, bring your own.
• Please arrange any ride home you might need before your shift or during a designated break period.
• If you’re seen on the floor with your phone or device (and this has not been cleared with the PM), your device will be confiscated for the duration of your shift.

Homebase is our Scheduling and Timeclock app this is where you will clock in and out every shift it is also how you will know when you are working. Please make sure that if you haven’t already that you download it and accept the invite that was sent to you from the app so that you can get your PIN for sign in. There will be an IPad in the office in which you will use to clock in and out with the PIN that is specific to you. 

• When a scheduling issue arises, you are responsible for bringing to the attention of the Staff Manager in a timely manner.
• Can’t work your scheduled shift? You are responsible for covering it. Use Homebase to switch shifts. If no switch is available, you are responsible for working that shift.
• We will do our best to accommodate you in the event of an unforeseen absence but we cannot guarantee shift changes.
• Sick or unavoidably late the day of a scheduled shift? Contact the Staff Manager  (email or telephone). Do not leave a message. If your communication was in writing, you will need written confirmation of a response.

• The right to freedom from discrimination and harassment extends to all employees, including full-time, part-time, temporary and contract staff, as well as volunteers, co-op students, interns and apprentices. 
• It is further unacceptable for members of staff working on our behalf to engage in harassment or discrimination when dealing with clients, or with others with whom they have professional dealings, such as customers, other staff members, service providers and potential clients. 
• This policy applies to every level of our organization and to every aspect of the workplace environment and employment relationship, including recruitment, selection, promotion, transfers, training, salaries, benefits and termination. It also covers rates of pay, overtime, hours of work, holidays, discipline and performance evaluations.  
• Furthermore, this policy applies to events that occur outside of the physical workplace. 
• For the purposes of this policy: 
• “Discrimination” means any form of unequal treatment based on a protected ground, whether imposing extra burdens or denying benefits. It may be intentional or unintentional. It may involve direct actions that are discriminatory on their face, or it may involve rules, practices or procedures that appear neutral, but have the effect of disadvantaging certain groups of people. 

HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED, CONDONED, OR IGNORED. IF A CLAIM OF HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION IS PROVEN, DISCIPLINARY MEASURES WILL BE APPLIED AGAINST THE OFFENDING EMPLOYEE(S), UP TO AND INCLUDING DISMISSAL.
