Key Details: Full Time Associates
Block Schedules create two shifts, one AM and one PM seven days a week, giving base coverage across the day. Block schedules are eight-hour shifts with consistent days off every week. Associate should be placed into a block scheduled based on his/her work group, tenure with the company and availability.
Each Club Manager will receive a block schedule availability worksheet that is club-specific. The worksheet will give you visibility to the number of shifts you have each day of the week for AM and PM by role. Here are key details about the worksheet and how you should use it:
Pilot Club The home office will bring the worksheet to your club and will walk you through it.
Associate Tenure The worksheet will provide a roster of full-time associates and his/her tenure with the company. Associates with the longest tenure should be given first choice on preference of shift – both days of the week they’d like to work and AM or PM.
Associate Availability During associate conversations, Club Managers should do the following:
- Use the worksheet to see the length of tenure of the associates in each work group. This will help guide you on which associates should receive first choice.
- Use the worksheet to capture each associate’s preference on shift. This will help you be able to finalize shifts after all associate conversations have taken place.
- Associates need to fill out an Associate Availability form. The information on this form should be actual availability and not preference. Club Managers should refer to this form if the preference they’d like is not available.
