True or false
Our manage says that we, the part timers, must sign the new paper work agreeing to open availability or else we won't have a job. Is this a company wide policy or just him?

Availability
Can you get scheduled on days you're not available?
Days off
Are the days off options the same for all clubs or does it depend on which tier your club is in. In other words are some clubs allowed to give weekends off to seniority but other clubs not. Also how can we as hourlies be sure we are not being lied to... — read more
