Should you be hired, you will find that we pride ourselves in valuing our employees and the abilities and new ideas they bring to our organization.
We believe you will enjoy working with us and you will have the opportunity to learn and grow with the Boathouse. If the Boathouse sounds like the kind of place you would like to work for, we would like to talk with you.
Thank you for your interest in the Boathouse. The purpose of this application packet is to provide you with pertinent information about the job for which you are applying, information about the Boathouse, and to assist you in comparing your qualifications with those required to be considered for the position.
Our goal is to hire and retain the best employees and provide them with a healthy, safe, and productive work place. Our employees are our most valuable resource and will be treated as such.
All qualified applicants will be considered on their merits and without regard to age, race, color, sex, national origin, disability, military status, or any other status protected by law.

We generally accept job applications only when we have determined there are jobs available or soon to be available. When we make a determination that there are jobs we intend to fill, we reserve the right to review active applications already on file prior to accepting new applications. Given the nature of our business, we reserve the right to not hire persons even though applications have been accepted should we determine our needs were not as we initially projected. Applications are considered "active" for a period of 90 calendar days from the date they were initially signed. An applicant who wishes to be considered after the expiration of that period may establish one (1) additional 30 day "active" period by either calling or personally visiting the Boathouse no sooner than five (5) calendar days prior to an no later than five (5) calendar days after the expiration of the initial 30 days period. In that event, the second 30 day active period will commence immediately upon the expiration of the first. After the expiration of the "active" period, a new application must be completed. All applications must be completed at the Boathouse. We accept only numbered originals of our applications material.
We hire based on personal contact with individuals. We base our hiring decision on a variety of factors including skills and ability to perform the job, prior employment with us, employment references, willingness to accept the offered salary, and personal interviews.
All employees are expected to work and to work the hours appropriate for their employment status. It is the nature of our business that work may need to be done on a tight schedule. Just as the classification of an employee is not a guarantee of a certain number of hours or work, it is not a limitation on the number of hours for which an individual may be assigned unless prior approval has been given or the Boathouse is aware prior to the assignment of conditions which would preclude an individual from being able to work. Full time employees are expected to be available for regular" 40 hours schedule plus overtime as may be required by the Boathouse. Regular part time and temporary employees are expected to be available for the hours for which they committed to work at the time of hire.
Our employees are prohibited from working or having an ownership interest in any other company or organization of any size or type where there is a potential conflict of interest with our business except with the approval of the Boathouse. The Boathouse employees may not own (in whole or in part, directly or indirectly), manage, be a consultant to, or have any relationship with another similar company or organization.
I represent that all of the information given by me in support of my application for employment is true and complete. I understand that any false, omitted or misleading information submitted during the application process will disqualify me from consideration for hire.

I understand that all employment with the Boathouse is "at will". This means that just as an employee has the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without reason, the Boathouse retains a similar right. I understand that any written company documents, or any oral statements made either during the application process or, if I am employed, after I am employed should not be relied upon by me as altering the general policy. I acknowledge that only the President of the Boathouse has the authority to alter the at-will nature of employment, and then only by written contract specifically signed by the President of the Boathouse.
