University Dining Employee Handbook - 2020

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY Student employees should always assume University Dining Service operations are open, even in the event of inclement weather and/or the cancellation or closing of campus. All employees must report to work or call their unit to confirm the need for their shift. Use the best judgment regarding safety conditions and call your unit by phone (see p.5).

SUBSTITUTION POLICY We encourage employees to plan ahead and utilize the substitution policy only when absolutely necessary. Talking to a supervisor as soon as a shift conflict arises is important. Employees are responsible for finding a qualified substitute for any scheduled shift they are unable to work. (Substitutes can be college or high school students only.) A sub card, posted on sub board as far in advance as possible is a good first step to find a qualified sub. However, in most cases a second step is necessary- that is placing calls to qualified individuals yourself. A phone list is available for your use and you can get information on qualified individuals from the scheduling staff. After a sub is located the sub card must be approved by a supervisor or full time staff member. The sub card is then filed in the office. Once you sign a card for subbing, you are responsible for that shift. Only approved subs may be used. Signed sub cards are to be turned into the full time staff member or the Student Manager of the particular shift that the sub is requesting for confirmation. If you are unsuccessful in finding a sub, you are still responsible for the shift. If you are interested in picking up additional hours, check the sub-wanted cards for positions that you are qualified to work. Check with the supervisor or full time staff member that will be on duty if you are not sure about being qualified for a particular position.
