Failure to meet the above pay period hour requirment
will result in forfeiture of the 20% employee discount the
following pay-period.

Attendance:
Attendance to all shifts is mandatory. Absenteeism places an
unfair burden on DDS as well as on your co-workers.
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.
Student employees must attend all shifts the entire term
or find a sub to work the shift.
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.
Punctuality:
Tardiness to shifts will not be tolerated. Tardiness is defined
as showing up to work six minutes or more after the start of your
shift.
Supervisors are expected to arrive 5 minutes early to shifts and
Associates should be on site, dressed in uniform and punched in
at the starting time of their shift.
Repetitive tardiness will be addressed by the professional
manager and disciplinary action may be taken.
Each late occurrence is considered one-half of an absence and
affects attendance as outlined above.
Wages and Discount Credit:
Employees in positions of Associate II and higher are entitled a
20% discount on all food purchases using DBA excluding purchases
made at Topside Convenience Store as long as the
pay period hour and attendance requirments are met. Purchases at
Byrne Hall and Concessions will not be discounted.
Wage increases and discount credit are contingent upon the
following:
- Students must complete DDS employement forms each term
worked
- Students must be in good standing
- Employees who receive an unexcused absence will lose their
discount credit the following pay period
- The per term hour requirment must be met in the currect
term in order to receive a pay increase the following term
- Students that sign up as an Associate II but who fail to
meet the 20hr/week hour requirment on a consistent basis
will be demoted to Associate I for the remainder of the
term
- Promotion rates are contingent upon continued employment in
the location in which you were pormoted.
Promotion rates do not apply if you transfer to another area
unless pre-approved and authorized by a professional
manager.
- Students who desire to work less than 6hrs/week may do so
but will not be eligible for term increases or promotions
- All overtime must be pre-approved and authorized by Kelly
Mousley, Personnel Administrator or David Newlove, Associate
Director.
Rate increaes and the discount credit are effective on the
date employment forms are completed each term.

DDS will issue each student employee two shirts and a hat or
hairnet to be worn while working.
Closed-toed shoes must be worn at all times. Employees are
expected to wear their uniform to every shift.

to pages 4 and 5 of the Student Manual.

asked to return in uniform.
The use of headphones, iPods, and cell phones is prohibited while
working.
