What you should wear to your Sidekicker shift and how you should be presented will depend on the role and tasks you are performing, as well as what is stated in the job description. As a Sidekick, it is your responsibility to ensure you are wearing the appropriate outfit for all shifts.
As a rule of thumb, the job description should always be treated as the source of truth. However, if a job does not state any uniform/presentation requirements, it is expected your uniform and presentation will meet the industry standards outlined below.
