Black & Gold Calendar & Vacation Days

Why Black/Gold Weeks?

To help all employees keep track of which weekend they will be working their one Friday Close, Saturday Lunch, or Saturday Dinner/Close shift, the months have been divided into “Black weeks” and “Gold weeks”.  Gold weeks are weeks in which we are paid, and black weeks are the weeks we are not paid.  All employees will work the same shift every Black weekend or Gold weekend.  For example, if you work black week Saturday Lunch, you will work each Saturday Lunch shifts during the black weeks below :


When is pay day?

Every GOLD week Wednesday.
I.e. September 8th, September 22nd, etc.
