frequently asked S.T.E.P. questions
What is the difference between S.T.E.P and S.T.E.P. Lite?
S.T.E.P. - if you work an average of 30 hours/week and make yourself available for 40, you can get up to $4,000/year.Â
S.T.E.P. Lite - if you work an average of 15 hours/week and make yourself available for 25, you can get up to $2,000/year.
How long must I work for Amigos before I can enroll in S.T.E.P.?
You can enroll in S.T.E.P. right away -- no waiting period.
What kind of school or college does this program apply to?
Any post-secondary school where you attend classes and pay tuition. This includes universities, state and community colleges, business/trade schools, and even online colleges.
Are there any GPA or major requirements?
No -- we only require that you pass your class.
Does my parents’ income, my income, or my other scholarships disqualify me?
No -- your finances do not affect your S.T.E.P. eligibility.
How do I collect my S.T.E.P. money?
Your S.T.E.P. check is written directly to you after the corporate office receives your report card. It is separate from your paycheck and is not taxed.
If I am only 15 or 16 years old, should I be thinking about S.T.E.P.?
Yes! If you start working with Amigos/Kings Classic while you are in high school, you will earn credit for your time with us. It will then be easier to meet your S.T.E.P. level’s requirements when you are finally enrolled in the program.
What if I move to another city for college?
You should be able to transfer to work in another Amigos/Kings Classic store provided there is one in or near your college’s city.
conditions & qualifying criteria for S.T.E.P.
conditions & qualifying for S.T.E.P.
The employee must be available for 30 hours/week and work a minimum of 20 hours/week to be eligible for S.T.E.P. If the needs of the restaurant change, the manager may schedule fewer hours without affecting the employee’s eligibility for S.T.E.P.
Work availability requirements may vary by store based on staffing needs.
The deadlines to sign up for this program are October 1 for fall semester, February 15 for spring semester, and by the second week for schools using the quarter system.
The percentage reimbursement will be paid on completed credit as stated on the school’s grade report. No reimbursement is given for courses that are dropped, failed, or incomplete. Co-worker must submit a copy of the grade report to the store manager within 21 days of the end of the session to be eligible for reimbursement.
This program is available to all Amigos employees who are not on an alternative Amigos bonus plan.
The co-worker must not be employed elsewhere during the session without the manager’s prior written consent.
This is not a guarantee of employment. A S.T.E.P. contract may be terminated by the company for unsatisfactory job performance.
The reimbursement will not be paid to co-workers who are not currently employed with Amigos on the last day of the session, or who otherwise fail to meet any of the conditions of this contract. If a co-worker is leaving after the end of the session, a written, two-week notice must be given.
The S.T.E.P. contract must be signed by the manager and filed at the corporate office before it is legally effective and binding. Student will receive a copy after the contract is filed at the office.
Maximum reimbursement is $2000 per semester
A limited number of S.T.E.P. scholarships are available at each location. Tenure and work availability will be the determining factors if a store reaches its limit of students on the S.T.E.P. Program.
