Seasonal Employee Housing

There is a $25.00 cash room deposit which is due when the employee moves into housing. The deposit is returned to the employee when he/she moves out of housing at the end of their employment (once their room has been inspected and it is determined there is no damage to the room and their room key has been returned). Further information will be provided upon hire.
