WORKING YOUR SHIFT:<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Updated 6\/12\/19
\nPromptness:<\/strong>
\nFirst and foremost, be on time for each shift. It is important to arrive on time to be fair to the person whom you are relieving. Your time card should accurately reflect when you arrive\/leave your shift. Misrepresentation of hours will lead to dismissal.<\/p>\n

Shift Substitutes:<\/strong>
\nThe day-to-day operations of the Buntrock Commons rely heavily on the student staff. You are responsible for your work schedule. Schedules will be established at the beginning of each semester and Interim. If you are unable to work a shift it is your responsibility to find a substitute. PLEASE try and find a sub as soon as you know you need one and do not wait until shortly before your shift! Procedures for obtaining a substitute are as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Log on to the Sub Request system<\/a> to send out a request on the e-mail alias to find possible replacements this can be done up to two weeks in advance. Don\u2019t wait until the last minute. Sub requests must be made with a minimum of 24 hours of the shift or it will not be sent over the system.
\n\u2022 E-mailing someone directly to switch with\/or sub for you is the most effective way to get a sub. Please notify the managers by e-mail (bcmgrs1516@stolaf.edu) of any arrangements you have made outside of the Sub Request system.
\n\u2022 If you have a last minute request, e-mail the staff alias directly (bcstaff1819@stolaf.edu)
\n\u2022 Failure to find a sub is not a reasonable reason to miss your shift.
\n\u2022 If you are having issues finding a substitute, please e-mail the managers to assist you.<\/p>\n

You are responsible for your shift. Being late without prior notice will result in a warning. Failure to arrive for a shift will also result in a warning.<\/p>\n

If you are off-campus and unable to return for your shift due to unforeseen circumstances (car trouble, weather delays, etc.) please notify the desk worker that works before you and the manager on-call (see schedule online<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Weekend Rotations:<\/strong>
\nEveryone will be required to work at least one weekend closing shift per semester. Missed weekend rotation shifts count for two automatic warnings.<\/p>\n

Dress:<\/strong>
\nBuntrock Commons uniform shirt and nametag are required. You may wear a Buntrock polo or the fleece jacket. Failure to wear the appropriate top and nametag will result in a warning.<\/p>\n

The information desk is in a very public location. You may be the first “official” contact that a visitor to both the commons and the campus may have. How you look on the job is important. Please dress in a neat and professional manner at all times.<\/p>\n

Problems encountered on a shift:<\/strong>
\nIn case you come up with a question or problem on shift that you are unable to answer or handle, please ask Alissa if it is before 4:30 during the week. If it is between 4:30-8 on weekdays, please ask the manager in the scheduling office. After 8 pm and on weekends, please contact the manager on call (listed at the front desk and on the online schedule).
