Congratulations on receiving a job through YES this summer! Although your job will be at the worksite listed on your Job Offer Letter, you will be paid as an employee of YES through the City of Ithaca.
In order to be officially hired, you must complete the following steps:
❏ Call YES (273-1849) to confirm whether or not you accept the job by the acceptance deadline on your letter. When you call, we will let you know what paperwork you still need to turn in.
❏ Attend a MANDATORY YES Summer Orientation session at the Ithaca Youth Bureau. Your scheduled session is on your Job Offer letter, but additional dates and times are available. If you are unable to attend this session, please call the YES office to reschedule immediately.
❏ Attend a MANDATORY PAID Kickstart Training at the Ithaca Youth Bureau between June 27th and July 3rd (see Job Offer for date and time of Kickstart Training). If you are unable to attend this training, please call the YES office to discuss alternative training options immediately. This is separate from any training specific to your job.
❏ If you haven’t provided the following already, please bring them to the YES Summer Orientation session:
- A copy of your social security card
- Your work permit (issued by your school)(not a copy)
- A copy of a photo ID (school ID, driver’s license, passport, etc.)
- The enclosed Emergency Consent Form and Parent Statement of Support signed by a parent or guardian
❏ Call your supervisor (listed on Job Offer) to introduce yourself and schedule a time to meet.
Say: “Hi, my name is (your first and last name) and I’ll be your teen worker through the YES program this summer. I’m calling to introduce myself and confirm the details of my job.” During this call, confirm that the start date and schedule of your job is correct, tell your supervisor about any vacations or planned absences you have, and ask if they want to set up a meeting with you before the first day of work.
Once you have completed all of these steps, you will be officially hired, and you will receive a Start Slip from YES. You will give your Start Slip to your supervisor on your first day of work.
By accepting your summer job, you are agreeing to the following:
1. You will attend your scheduled work shifts with minimal absences, communicating any scheduling conflicts with your supervisor and your YES Rep.
2. You will attend at least one PAID workshop in the YES Summer Workshop Series or complete paid online training. You can be paid for up to 5 hours of YES training and workshops.
3. You will complete all YES paperwork honestly and submit it in a timely fashion, including two evaluations, weekly timesheets, and an End of Job Reflection.
If you have any questions, scheduling conflicts or other issues, give us a call at 607-273-1849 immediately, and we’ll try our best to work it out. We’re looking forward to working with you this summer, and we can’t wait to hear from you about your summer job!
