This position is a paid part-time, hourly role based on each flipper volunteering to work specific shifts based on their availability. A flip shift, approximately 3 hours, is in addition to each flipper’s primary work schedule and should not replace their current job duties. For all zoo employees who are interested, it is the responsibility of the flipper to manage their hours and ensure that they do not exceed 29 hours for part-time employees and 40 hours for full-time employees. For non-zoo employees, this position is part-time/seasonal position at $15/hour. FLSA non-exempt hourly.

Flip schedules are created by the Assistant Events Manager and communicated to the flip team at the beginning of every month. Some scheduled dates and times are subject to change due to last-minute adjustments. The Events Flip Team reports to the designated flip supervisor before each scheduled flip. At that time, the supervisor will discuss the floor plan as well as any other important information pertaining to the flip with the flip team. Once flips are completed, the supervisor will ensure all action items are completed to standard before dismissal.
