Wow. I just got an email from CLV that apparently was intended for the models and not for the public.
C'EST LA VIE MODEL POLICIES
Tip in/Out
You are required to tip in when you arrive and tip out before leaving the event. Tip in varies based on arrival time (see below.) Models that do not tip in will not be invited back to work.
Arrival time
6:30-7:30: $40 tip in, $25 tip out
7:30-8:30: $40 tip in, $45 tip out
8:30-10:30: $60 tip in, $45 tip out
After 10:30: $125 tip in
All first time models have a $40 tip in no matter the arrival time.
New Recruits
If you bring a new model to work you will receive $80 off your tip in and tip out. Please let staff know before you bring a friend. We appreciate your help as we expand C’est La Vie.
Cancellations
When you confirm your attendance to one of our events, we are counting on you to be there. If you cancel the day of an event you will not be invited to work the following week.
Departures
We ask that all models work until at least 12:30am. You must let Joe know 24 hours before the event if you have a bus or train to catch that requires you to leave earlier than 12:30am. At 12:30am, we will begin sending models home at our discretion. Do not ask a staff member if you can leave early unless you have given advanced notice or it is an emergency. If you ask to leave early you will not be invited to work the following week.
Identification
You must bring at least 1 form of valid ID with you to be allowed to work. Show your identification to the housemom when you arrive.
Attire
The attire for our events is cocktail dress. Please remember our aim is to provide a classy, girl-next-door experience for our customers. Always carry a small purse or clutch for your personal items and money. NEVER leave the premises in your work attire. You must ask staff for permission to step outside and you MUST wear your coat or day clothes over your dress.
Bag check
All models must check in their coats and bags with the housemom. Do not repeatedly return to coat check for personal items throughout the night. Carry what you need with you. We have limited space, please minimize your bags. The less you bring, the more we can expedite the check in/check out process for everyone. For security reasons, do NOT bring expensive coats and purses to our events.
Dances
Our rate is $20 per full-length song. Songs are generally 4-5 minutes long. Please read very carefully: as you near the end of the song, ask the customer if they wish to continue. Do NOT overcharge customers, request more songs, or charge more than what you are owed. Cheating customers is a very serious offense and cause for immediate removal from all events.
CONDUCT
Cellphones
Customers and models are strictly prohibited from using cellphones in the dance areas. If security or staff sees the use of a cellphone, you will be asked to put it away on the first offense. You will be sent home on the second offense.
Personal Belongings
Please keep track of your personal belongings during our events. C’est La Vie staff is not responsible for lost or stolen items and we don’t want you to lose your hard earned money.
Unattended Drinks
Do not leave your drink unattended at any point during the evening. If you leave your drink before going into the dance area, do not pick it up when you come back out. Instead, leave it with the bartender to hold onto it for you. This is for your safety.
Bathrooms
Please keep the bathrooms clean. Flush the toilet, clean up after yourself, don’t leave toilet paper or paper towels on the floor, and treat the bathrooms as if they were yours. Models are not allowed to share the restroom between 8pm and 2am. If you are caught sharing a restroom with another model, you will be warned on the first offense. You will be sent home on the second offense.
Sofas
You must share the sofas in the dance room when it is busy.
Exchanging Information
Exchanging info and meeting with clients is strictly prohibited. Do not give out phone numbers or email addresses to customers. You may let the client know your next scheduled work day. If you are discovered giving out real or fake personal contact information to a client or meeting with a client, you will not be invited back to work.
Respect
We strive to provide a sophisticated event for our customers and models. There is a zero tolerance policy for yelling or confrontation of any kind towards coworkers, clients, or staff. Any aggressive or emotional display or loss of self-control will result in immediate removal from the event and all future events. If you have a problem with customers or coworkers, let security know.
Be respectful of yourselves, your fellow models, and C’est La Vie staff. Wait your turn at coatcheck. CLV staff is on premises to ensure that the events run smoothly and safely. Please show your appreciation to your housemom.
Sex and drugs
If a client solicits you for sex or offers you drugs, immediately tell staff or security. The guest will be removed from the event. Do not engage in any illegal sexual activity at our events. We are a NO SEX EVENT.
Affiliations
This event is only run by Joe. If at any point someone asks you for personal information or says they work or are partnered with C’est La Vie, they are lying. Immediately let staff know.
