Students are expected to work the majority of their shifts completely. Calling out for work can be done via the ListServ. Other student workers can cover the absent student’s hours.

Absent students must find coverage for their shift, otherwise they will have to show up to work. Not showing up will result in a write up. Students should provide 24 hours notice for their absence. If students are sick, 24 hours is not required, but constant ‘sick’ call outs will not be tolerated. Group projects, professor meetings, etc. are not acceptable reasons to call out. These plans can be made in advance with the student’s work schedule in mind.
