Important Information:

1.) Direct Deposit: Aqua Tech has gone paperless. This means pay checks will no longer be mailed to you, but your earnings will be directly deposited into your bank account. If you do not have a checking account, you will need to open one.

2.) CPR Recertification Classes: ALL ATPM employees must schedule their CPR recertification through Aqua Tech. You must get recertified in CPR EVERY YEAR- no exceptions. Employees who do not get recertified will not be rehired in 2010. A copy of all current certification cards must be on file before you can begin work. Beginning in February, please use our website calendar to select a class and call HR to reserve your spot ASAP. We DO NOT accept American Heart Saver Association CPR as their methods are slightly different from the American Red Cross.
*When you come in for CPR, this will also be a good time to update tax forms, or any other information that has changed since last year.

Interviews and Paperwork: All new hires must apply online and speak to an HR representative to schedule an interview.Your interview will take no longer than 15 minutes. You will not be assigned to a "Home Pool" until you have successfully registered for a Certification Course. It is in your best interest to register for a class as soon as possible as pools will be assigned ona first-come first-serve basis.
All returning guards must return the pink paperwork included in the Rehire Packet by February 1, 2010 to be guaranteed a spot at a pool of your choice
