Because this position requires you to perform services in an educational facility, there may be periods when the company does not require you to perform work (e.g., winter and summer breaks when food service needs decline or cease). Any such periods during which you do not perform work on the company’s behalf may be unpaid and deemed a temporary layoff. However, depending on business needs, you may be required to work year‑round, potentially at a different location during break periods.

Business needs may vary from year to year.
