11. Absences

If you must miss a shift due to illness or unexpected obligation, it is your responsibility to try to find another student employee to cover your shift.

If you are able to find someone to cover your shift, send an email to your supervisor and the other employee via email.

If you are unable to find someone to cover your shift, you must communicate this with your supervisor and the student employee with whom you are scheduled to work as soon as possible. This should be done via email as well as by calling the circulation desk (765-455-9513).

If you are unable to find someone to cover your shift and you are scheduled to work on your own, you must call your supervisor as soon as possible. If your supervisor is unavailable, call the Library Collections Coordinator. If the Library Collections Coordinator is unavailable, call another full-time employee until you reach someone. After talking with someone on the phone, send an email to your supervisor.

If you fail to alert your supervisor and co-worker about your absence in a timely fashion, this is cause for corrective action.
