Learning Resources Department Employee Guide

Work Schedules

Work Schedule Expectations and Guidelines

To ensure smooth daily operations and excellent service to our students and staff, all employees are expected to arrive on time and remain in the Library or Tutoring Center for the duration of their scheduled shifts. Consistently arriving late, leaving early, or missing shifts without notice may affect continued employment.

Part-time Employment & Scheduling

Part-time Library Assistants and Tutors are hired on a semester-by-semester basis, depending on staffing needs and available funding. Part-time staff are approved for a specific number of hours per week, and may not exceed 29 hours in any given week.

Time & Attendance Guidelines

Employees are paid for their scheduled work hours only. Please plan to arrive at the start of your shift and leave promptly when your shift ends. If you need to arrive early or stay late to complete a task, please speak with your supervisor first to ensure prior approval and proper compensation.

While we encourage a positive and friendly work environment, we also ask that employees avoid socializing in work areas during scheduled shifts to help maintain focus and productivity.

Supplemental Employment

Department employees who hold additional positions within the College or with an outside agency must obtain permission using the forms below.

Work Schedules

Work schedules are made each semester. The Dean of Learning Resources approves the work schedules for all full time employees.

Location supervisors schedule part-time employees.

Breaks & Lunches

In the Learning Resources Department, scheduled break periods are not used. There is enough down-time each day for employees to attend to tasks such as going to the restroom, getting a drink, or attending to personal business as needed. It is expected that employees will not abuse this arrangement and will put the needs of students and daily operations first.

In the Learning Resources Department, lunches are scheduled at the service location level and are reflected on the location's work schedule. If an employee needs to change their lunch period, a supervisor's approval is required. Lunch breaks cannot be accumulated, nor used to cover  late  arrival or early departure from duty. Part-time employees do not get meal breaks. See Operating Procedure 2.16.8.2 Lunch and Break Periods for the full College policy.
