Meadowcliff RV Resort
Workamper Program Policy
Created: November 2007 Updated: December 2008

The following policies were implemented to enhance the existing Workamper Program at Meadowcliff RV Resort. This list of policies, in conjunction with the Workamper Application, are intended to give all Workampers a clear picture of what to expect from Meadowcliff RV Resort’s program. Workampers are an integral part of our team of employees, as they bring integrity, a strong work ethic, and great moral character to our award-winning Resort. It is our intention to clarify the program through the following policies.

PROGRAM OUTLINE:

Workamper applications are accepted year round.  February/March is “workamper month.”  The hiring process involves three steps:  (1) all applicants are called to verify their application information and be interviewed, (2) all valid applications are reviewed by the departmental supervisors, (3) hiring decisions are made and Workampers are notified.  At this time, arrival dates and departure dates are determined (the time encompassed therein is referred to as the Workamper commitment period.)

All hired Workampers will receive a letter of confirmation from the Resort in February/March, verifying their work assignments, their arrival and departure dates (commitment period), site assignments, etc.

Workampers are expected to arrive at the Resort on the date designated by the confirmation letter, as determined at the time of hire.  All Workampers are granted a “grace period” to settle in at the Resort.  This grace period will begin upon arrival and last until the following Monday, or when the Workamper is ready to begin, whichever comes first.  At the end of the grace period, Workamper duties will begin, and will continue until the end of the commitment period. 

Definition of “Grace” Week:  The time period that you have to “settle in” and “unwind” prior to and after your Workamper commitment dates.  You will receive up to one week “Grace” before and after your commitment dates (on your assigned site).  Note:  You must commit to at least October 31st to receive the “Grace” week at end of commitment.

If you wish to arrive before or stay longer than your “Grace” week(s) you will need to make reservations.  Keep in mind if you decide to stay longer than your “Grace” week you will be required to pay rent for any days used. Also please note, your “Grace” week(s) will be included in your 21/9 day schedule which again starts on Jan 1 of each year.

During the Workamper commitment period, Workampers will work 20 - 40 hours per week.  There is no “banking” of hours from one week to another.  Workampers are required to complete log sheets (provided by the Resort) designating hours worked each week.  Those sheets are turned in to each Workamper’s departmental supervisor on a weekly basis and are tallied for tracking purposes.

If a Workamper decides to terminate their position with the Resort, or if the Workamper is involuntarily terminated, the Workamper is required to depart the property immediately. 

*Provided benefits:      Full hookup 30’ x 45’ camping site with picnic table
                                    20/30/50 amp electrical service
                                    water and sewer hookup
                                    DirecTV
                                    wireless internet
                                    Upon full completion of commitment period, each workamper may receive
                                                a completion bonus (unfortunately, we are not able to grant
                                                exceptions for unexpected health issues, family obligations, etc)

 

OTHER POLICIES:

Hours worked over the minimum required by the Workamper program may be compensated at a predetermined hourly rate, if so desired by the individual and if available based on the departmental budget. The availability of this paid time may not be determined until the Workamper arrives at the Resort. The Workamper hour commitment is required for the full length of the individual Workamper commitment period. Workampers are not allowed to cease Workamping in favor of paid hours during their commitment period.

A consecutive five-month minimum commitment is required for all applicants. Applicants with longer commitments available (May 1stl thru mid – Oct) are given preference in the hiring process and the longer commitments are strongly encouraged. Upon accepting a Workamper position, the Workamper has thereby identified their commitment period (ie arrival date and departure date) and their completion of the season is subject to the commitment period, not the two month minimum.

Work hours and shifts will vary (to include evenings, weekends, and holidays). We do the best we can to coordinate the work schedules of husband and wife teams, but we cannot make any promises. Workampers must we willing to work in varying positions and varying departments, depending on the work load.

Extended time off during participation in the Workamper program is not available.

Workamper campsites will be pre-assigned. There are specific Workamper campsites available in vesort ~ the sites are pre-determined. You are unable to choose your own campsite.

*In order to properly perform their duties, this person is required to accept employer provided accommodations as defined in this agreement. Per IRS regulations, the value of the accommodations will not be included in your gross income. Resort Management and the Board of Directors reserves the right to make adjustments to this policy at any time.
