Summer Earning Potential

• SEASONAL COMPENSATION - There are a number of factors that go into the total amount an employee can earn during our summer season.  The amount of hours worked, the job description and the rate of pay will determine the actual amount of money an employee can earn.  In addition, overtime, tips and incentives will also affect earning potential.

Based upon a twelve-week, 40-50 hour workweek, an average employee may expect to earn from $5,500 to $6,500 per Summer. Last season, some of the Boardwalk's college-level employees earned between $7,000 and $7,500 because they honored their contract, received incentives and worked 50-60 hours per week in season. If you are serious about working a Summer Job, the opportunity to make money is here.

Incentive Program for the Summer Season

Our Season begins in May and doesn’t end until October.  In order to be fully-staffed at both the beginning of our season AND the final weekends… incentives will be made available to our full-time* college employees who fulfill the requirements of their individual Contract for Employment.   This contract is completed by each college employee, showing their starting and ending dates for full-time employment and their commitment to work the majority of our busy weekends… Opening Weekend, Memorial Day, Labor Day, “Island New Year”, Historical Weekend, Clambake Weekend…  October Wine Festival and OKTOBERFEST.
