Attendance -- Missing a Shift

  • If you need to call in sick (or with an emergency), make sure you actually call in and talk to someone (no email, no textsbefore you’re scheduled to work. The sooner you can let us know the better–especially if we need to find someone to cover your shift. You do not need to find a replacement for your shift if you are sick.
  • If you need to miss work for any other reasons than illness or emergency, please make arrangements to cover your shift by contacting your fellow student workers and notifying your supervisor ahead of time by phone or in person. You must arrange to have someone cover your shift unless you’re told otherwise, especially weekend or evening shifts. Failure to find someone constitutes an unexcused absence.
  • Students will not normally be allowed to make up hours missed.
  • To call off sick, call the circulation desk at 419-755-4331.

Excessive absences or tardiness will result in termination.
