There will be 2 Orientations in September (dates/times to be announced). You WILL BE REQUIRED to attend one.
You are required to be here every night that we’re open (see operating dates/times above) unless you got
approval when you were hired. If we’re slow, we may let you leave early. We are open for one month out of the
year. If you accept a position with Fearshire Farms, you agree to place your commitment to this job above all
social activities. We’re not talking about unavoidable emergencies such as death and illness or even work, but we
ARE speaking of activities to which you have a choice such as sports games, parties, trick-or-treating, etc. Put the
dates of any such activities that you feel that you cannot miss in the space above so that we can decide whether
we can work around it before we hire you.
Nobody will be off on Halloween night. Our entire industry revolves around Halloween! If you can’t work
Halloween night, then this job is not for you.
You agree to secure authorization from all appropriate authorities (bosses, spouses, parents, etc.) to be available
to work the evenings listed above (or if your schedule is already set, put those dates in the space above). This may
mean arranging with your employer to work extra nights or weekends. If you switch jobs before the haunt,
interview for the new job requesting those evenings off. Most employers are impressed with people that honor
prior commitments.
If an emergency arises and you will be late or absent, you'll contact your house leader ASAP, giving us as much
time as possible to find a fill-in. Excessive lates/absences without prior approval can be grounds for termination.
You understand that touching, cursing or otherwise harassing customers is forbidden and that it can be grounds
for immediate termination, as is texting/phone calls or playing games on your cell phone during operating hours.
Our business is all about making memories for our customers. Work even one season with us and you will also
walk away with a lifetime’s worth of awesome stories to tell. There is absolutely zero room for negative attitudes
and comments, whether about other employees or other haunts and whether on-site or anywhere else. If you
can’t comply, then this job is not for you.
You are responsible for making sure you are indeed checked in, making sure your area is clean and free from trash
before you leave, and will be present for roll call at the end of the night where you'll be dismissed for the day.
All costumes, props, masks etc. will be checked in each night at the end of your shift before roll call.
Employees are paid for hours open only, not for time on site. Payday is the day of the end-of-haunt party (TBA).
You must check with your house leader to make sure your hours are correct before 11/01 so payroll can be
properly processed.
You must work 20 hours or more to receive a paycheck. This covers training and setup expenses.
You must have a positive attitude, be willing to fill in where needed and take direction.
If you come to work under the influence, you will be immediately terminated. If there is any drug/alcohol activity
on the premises, you may also be arrested. You won’t need it-scaring people is intoxicating enough!
Violation of any of the above can result in immediate termination. If terminated, the same rule applies about not
being issued a paycheck if you’ve worked less than 20 hours. If you’re terminated and you have a paycheck
coming, you’ll have to arrange to pick it up from Cindy. You won’t be invited to the end-of-haunt party.
Our primary form of communication is via our private Facebook group. You need to be able to check Facebook at
least every couple of days (daily as the haunt weekends near). You can log on at the public library if you don’t
have a computer.
