Mariemont Parking Crew Employment Information

The MPC Mission- "Always Prepared, Always Ready"

The Parking Crew is dedicated to providing consistent, professional and efficient traffic control and parking operations at each and every event we work. As such, our motto is two-fold. We are always prepared to work at any event, at any time, responding to the specific needs of the event while providing the same consistent level of service. Moreover, we are always ready to handle the challenges that each event and each shift puts in our way. Our intensive focus on training, organization and consistency makes this goal a reality.

MPC works two seasons a year, covering most athletic events at Mariemont High School. The Fall season, running from August 15^th to November 15^th, includes football and soccer and is typically the busiest time of the year. The Spring season, running from March 15^th to June 15^th, covers Lacrosse games and Track meets. We are also frequently contracted to work several special events that come up throughout the year, including winter and summer events, sometimes on very short notice.

Employment

MPC employees are hired per season and must meet several requirements to maintain their employment. All employees must fill out an employment contract in order to get paid for each season. The Parking Crew prides itself on being "always prepared and always ready" to provide the very best parking coordination for any event at any time.

General Requirements

• Employees must be reliable and hardworking

• Must demonstrate an understanding of the responsibilities and expectations connected with employment.

• Must be able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and work in undesirable conditions on short notice.

• Must be able to handle several different challenges at once while maintaining a calm and level-headed attitude.

• All employees must attend a pre-season meeting and training session before each season they work.

Dress Code

Consistent with our standard of professionalism, all employees must abide by the MPC dress code at all times:

• Event Staff shirt should be worn and kept tucked in at all times while on duty. Employees are responsible for laundering the shirt before each shift and returning it in clean condition.
• Only blue or white  undershirts are permitted.
• Only boots or gym shoes are acceptable footwear. Sandals, Crocs or other open-toe shoes are prohibited since they do not offer adequate foot protection.
• Cotton shorts, cotton pants or jeans with a belt are required. No gym shorts or athletic pants are permitted.
• An orange vest, issued on an event basis, should be worn at all times.  
• Employees are responsible for dressing appropriately for the current weather conditions. Layers, coats and/or rain gear is recommended, but a vest should always be worn on the exterior.

Attendance

• A 3-strike rule applies to all employees meaning that if you are more than 10 minutes late to 3 events in any season your contract will be automatically terminated for the remainder of the season.
   

• If you fail to show up for any event without first notifying the Head or Assistant Parking Supervisor you will be automatically terminated for the remainder of the season.

Professionalism

• MPC prides itself on providing consistent, professional service to the community. As a member of the Crew you are expected to uphold and maintain its integrity. Employees who do not display professional attitudes and exhibit poor work performance may have their contracts terminated at any time. Goofing off, failing to follow or understand procedure and excessive socializing on the job are examples.

 Benefits of Employment

• Employees are paid $8.00 an hour and receive one pay check for all accumulated hours at the end of each season.

• Free admission to the events you work

• Free food at the events you work.

• Scheduling is based on experience. The more seasons you work the more hours you will be scheduled.

• Scheduling is also flexible to accommodate student-athletes and others with busy schedules.

The typical shift for an event is 2-3 hours. For larger events that is likely to increase. Assistant Parking Supervisors usually work between 3-6 hours per event.

Vehicle Policy
 

The Parking Crew has several vehicles at its disposal including 1 golf cart and 2 Gators. The golf cart is MPC’s primary vehicle but its use is restricted to senior employees. The only student employees permitted to drive it are Assistant Parking Supervisor (s) and must receive prior authorization from the Director of Operations. They must have a valid driver’s license. During a normal event, one Gator is reserved for the trainer, the other is available to MPC. Only staff supervisors (non-students) may drive a Gator.

AT NO TIME SHALL ANY UNAUTHORIZED STUDENT OR STUDENT EMPLOYEE OPERATE ANY MPC VEHICLE- violation of this policy will result in immediate termination and disciplinary and/or criminal action.
