JOB APPLICATIONS
At the beginning of the year, students will be presented all available job opportunities. They will select their desired position and fill out a job application which outlines what skills they would bring to the job. The student who writes the most convincing (and true) argument to obtain the position will get the job. Where there are multiple candidates for the same job, interviews may be conducted by Mr. Fischer. Every two months, there will be another application process where students will apply for a new position. The job contract periods are outlined below: Contract #1: September and October Contract #2: November and December Contract #3: January and February Contract #4: March and April Contract #5: May and June

RENTAL AND CONDO INFORMATION

All desks in the class must be paid for in order for students to sit in them and for students to be eligible to buy and rent materials from the material managers. RENTAL COST (per seat) = $120/week PURCHASE COST (per seat) = $2000

Each week, students will have the opportunity to purchase a condo (i.e. one particular seat). Following any condo purchases, the remaining renting students will be placed in a location to the discretion of Mr. Fischer. All seats, no matter what their location in the classroom are rented at the cost of $120 per week (except for September where rent for all desks is $100 per week). Rent payment is always at the beginning of the day on Monday. If a condo is purchased, there is no rent payment required BUT each student who purchases a condo must choose a number from one to six. Each Monday, a die will be rolled. If a students condo number is rolled then they must pay condo repair costs (equivalent to a dice roll times $50). IMPORTANT: Students who cannot afford rent OR who let their bank account drop below zero will be removed from their desk immediately until they bring their balance above zero.

PAYMENT METHOD
Each month, pay cheques will be automatically deposited into all student accounts by the bankers. Pay cheques will be deposited on the first school day of each month. Blank cheques will be available to all students to use for purchasing items and for giving monetary gifts to friends. Bankers will examine each written cheque for missed information. If a cheque is missing information or is for an amount greater that what is currently in the cheque-writers bank account, the cheque will not be accepted and a bank charge of $30 will be applied to the person who wrote the cheque. It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that their bank account has enough money in it when writing cheques. Payment of fines and charges for overdraft will be automatically withdrawn from the violators account by one of the bankers.
