Staff members are expected to act based on our core values - Humble, Hungry, and People Skills. All staff members occupy a leadership role within the KAT community and as such are expected to lead by example. Ways to do this include:
Honing Your Skill: Staff members should be pursuing their own throwing development on regular basis.
Caring First: The first priority for all staff members is to take care of the guests. This means checking in with them and doing everything in our power to make sure that their booking is the best part of their day.
Names: A person’s name is the most important word in their vocabulary. Staff should try their best to get to know the names of every guest in their booking. If you do not know someone it is your responsibility to be proactive and meet them.
Complaint Free Team: we are trying to create a complaint free team with all staff members at KAT. Complaining is negative for those around you and puts your focus on the negative instead of positive.
Gossip Free Team: Gossip directly detracts from building trusting relationships and the type of culture we are trying to create. It is harmful to those you are gossiping about and those you are gossiping with.
General
General Conduct: As a representative of KAT, staff members are expected to act accordingly. Whether you are inside or outside the facility, you are expected to act in a manner that represents our core values. Other points of conduct include abiding by our staff policy and responding to all work-related posts and messages within 24 hours. Staff may have relationships with other staff members, but they should not interfere with work.
Hours: All staff members are assigned a schedule. Hours are subject to change and may be cancelled at any time. Switching hours may also be done any time as long as the admin staff is aware and has updated the schedule.

Communication: we use the staff Facebook group and messenger to communicate with staff (our expectation is that you see posts within 24 hours). Thee group is primarily used for communicating staff notes, weekly schedule and socials. The messenger is used for day-today questions and last minute schedule updates.
Vacation Pay: all staff members are eligible for vacation pay. A set amount is taken from monthly payroll and is available on request for vacation time.
Meetings and Special Events: All staff members are expected to attend schedule meetings that are unpaid. In addition to meetings, staff members are expected to attend special events that include (but are not limited to) staff socials.
