Work Shift preference

All exhibitors are required to perform a 5-hour work shift each week the show is open (4.5 hours on Sunday). Your given shift will be on the same day and at the same time each week for the duration of the show. If you do not wish to do the shift yourself you have two options: hire someone to do the shift for you, or pay LAAF in advance ($850.00) to hire a substitute on your behalf. If you hire someone personally, you are responsible for paying them directly. The substitute will be assigned a 5-hour shift and must attend the training session for that job. Substitutes must be at least 16 years of age and must be pre-approved. They will be expected to show up for work on time and abide by the LAAF rules. If they miss a shift you will be charged, as LAAF will need to hire someone to replace them.

If you need a temporary substitute you must let your Grounds Manager know ahead of time. Substitute lists will be made available after show opening. You are responsible for making arrangements for the substitute to cover you and must pay them directly. The recommended minimum rate is $85/shift. If LAAF has to hire someone to cover for a missed shift you will be charged $100.00 per incident. All substitutes must have attended the annual training session for their particular job.

UNIFORMS: In order to maintain a consistent and recognizable presence, Grounds Managers and all Security (Customer Relations) workers are expected to wear a “uniform” of black pants/skirt/long shorts and white collared shirt (polo style is acceptable and most popular). Security and Grounds Managers must wear the provided identification badge. All workers of all tasks must wear close-toed shoes.

We will do our best to give you a shift of preference. However, there are no guarantees that you will get any of your choices. You (or your substitute) must attend any training sessions required for your shift. Training Day will be held Saturday, June 21, 2025. Shift assignments are made on a first-come-first-served basis (not by seniority).
