Attendance Policy

Attendance to all shifts is mandatory. Absenteeism places an unfair burden on DDS as well as on co-workers. Student employees must attend all shifts the entire term or find a sub to work the shift.
Students are expected to work from the opening date of the area to the last scheduled final examination or closing date of the operation, whichever occurs first.
The sub-list is only an aid to help you find coverage for your shift, if you cannot find coverage you are still responsible for that shift.
Failure to find a sub for a shift will result in an unexcused absence.
The only excused absences are academic conflicts or illness. In order for either to be considered an excused absence, documentation from a professor or Dick’s House must be provided to the appropriate manager or Personnel Administrator verifying the absence.
Employees who miss a shift will be contacted by the Attendance Manager and will have 48 hours to respond to the "dds attendance" account with the reason for their absence. RESPONDING TO THE DDS ATTENDANCE ACCOUNT INQUIRY DOES NOT EXCUSE THE ABSENCE.
An unexcused absence will result in forfeiture of the 20% discount the following pay period.

Failure to meet the term hour requirement will result in forfeiture of the wage increase the following term.

One unexcused absence will result in a written warning.
Two unexcused absences will result in a final written warning.
Three unexcused absences will result in termination. Employees will not be considered eligible for rehire in Dining Services.

Students should contact their immediate supervisor or the Personnel Administrator with any questions regarding their area’s specific sub procedures and policies.

Attendance questions should be directed to the “dds attendance” email account.

Employment is on a per-term basis. Employees who fail to meet expectations or perform duties in a satisfactory manner will not be re-hired.
