University Dining Employee Handbook - 2020

SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE

WORK COMMITMENT & SCHEDULING All student employees are hired with the understanding that they willl work all scheduled hours throughout the entire semester. Substitutes may be arranged following the *Substitution Policy* on page 24 of this handbook. All personal commitments must be marked clearly on an employee’s application. Your application should clearly indicate any hours you are not available to work, including but not limited to: sports, clubs, organizations, committees, class, worship/prayer, etc. If these are not noted on the application and interfere with an accepted shift that shift will be removed from the student’s schedule. Evaluation Week Scheduling UW-Stout student employees will be offered bonus pay for hours worked during the evaluation week period. The bonus will be an

additional amount per hour added to regular rate with a maximum rate set. These dates will be set and conveyed to students via a memo each semester. During evaluation week, regular scheduled hours will not be used, and a special evaluation week schedule will be posted in each facility. To work any hours during evaluation week, students need to sign up and have the shift approved by a supervisor or lead worker. International students may not work more than 20 hours in any payroll week. AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE & UW-SYSTEM HOUR LIMIT The University of Wisconsin System has required a 25 hour per week limit for student employees for part of each year. When in place, the limit covers the payroll week of Sunday through Saturday. Most restricted weeks fall within the fall and spring academic semesters. Weeks outside the 25 hour restrictions are limited to 40 hours for US citizens. International student hour limits are governed by VISA type. University Dining Service has a schedule of weeks that are, and are not, included in this limit. Please ask your supervisor for this information. Students are responsible to monitor their hours each week, avoiding accepting or taking any shifts that may put them over the limit. If a student suspects or recognizes they may go over the 25 hour limit, they must alert their supervisor or the student scheduler.
