• Cold weather options: Campus Rec sweatshirt (available for staff to purchase), long sleeve/sweatshirt under staff shirt

Food/Beverages on Shift Policy

Food should not be eaten while sitting at the Control Desk or while on the Fitness Floor. If the shift is during a meal time, staff should work with their Supervisor to coordinate times to eat in one of the Ping Center Meeting Rooms. Meal break should not exceed 15 minutes.

Evaluation Process

Staff will be asked to complete a self-evaluation a month before the end of each semester. In addition, Ping Supervisors will complete a formal written evaluation for those regularly assigned to their shifts. These reports will be shared with the individual to review. In the instance an employee's evaluation falls below the standards of the Ping Center, that employee will be asked to meet with a professional staff member to determine an action plan to improve employee performance.

Supervisors will be asked to complete a self-evaluation and receive a formal written evaluation from the Ping Center Coordinator.

Recognition

• Employee of the Month
  • The Student Engagement Supervisor will send out a form asking staff to nominate a fellow coworker that exhibits the coordinating months' learning outcome. Staff are encouraged to nominate as many times as they want.
• Staff Shout-Out
  • Supervisors provide staff shout-outs in their daily shift reports. These shout-outs will be used in the evaluation process and during discipline meetings to gauge overall employee performance.
• Promotion
  • At the end of the Fall semester, all staff will have the opportunity to ask for advancement. Supervisors will be asked to give recommendations for employees that are prepared to move into the Specialist or Supervisor Roles. Being recognized by a Supervisor in this capacity is a great honor and will strengthen the employees' chance for promotion.

Discipline Process

• Written Warning
  • When a report is received about work performance that does not meet the Ping Center student staff expectations, the employee involved will receive an email notice. This email serves as a written warning for the behavior and a notice that the report will be kept on file for the employee. Written warnings will typically be issued for:
    • Being late or leaving early by 15 minutes or more
    • Dress code violation
    • Inappropriate language use
    • Multiple instances of the same infraction such as excessive cellphone use, eating at the desk, personal computer use, etc.
    • Other forms of conduct not covered
• Meeting Request
  • If an employee has received multiple written warnings about the same or various infractions, professional staff will request to meet with the employee to talk about the situation and allow the employee the opportunity to provide additional context. The outcome of this conversation will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will take into account all information provided. Potential outcomes could include:
    • Dismissal of report based on information/context provided by employee
    • Final written warning about the infraction that could lead to more serious consequences such as probation or termination from position
    • Required reflection activity to summarize what was discussed in the meeting and articulate a plan to improve moving forward
    • Termination, depending on the severity of the situation and the impact of infraction on other staff members
• Immediate Termination
  • Very few situations will warrant immediate termination without the opportunity to meet with professional staff. However, if there is indisputable evidence for any of the following behavior an employee can expect to be immediately terminated:
    • 罢丑别蹿迟鈥赌�
    • Working under the influence of alcohol or drugs鈥��
    • Smoking or using tobacco products within Campus Recreation facilities
    • Submitting unauthorized hours in Workforce鈥�
    • Physical violence鈥��
    • Vandalism
    • Gross sexual harassment鈥�
    • Verbally abusing a customer, student employee, or any university employee鈥�

Missed Shift Policy

• Missing a Shift for any reason, excused or not, has the largest impact on the Ping Center operation and therefore needs to be addressed separately from other infractions. If something comes up and you know you need to miss a shift keep the following in mind:
• If your name is on a shift, it is your responsibility to make sure someone is there:  Only under extenuating circumstances will the Scheduling Supervisor or Professional Staff help find coverage for a shift. A staff member having to quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 results is an extenuating circumstance, wanting to go home to see family is not. Student staff are expected to plan visits and other social obligations around their work schedule. If you are unsure if an absence will be excused, ask the Scheduling Supervisor or Professional Staff.
• Communicate sooner, rather than later: The more notice the scheduling supervisor and professional staff are made aware of a situation, the better. Depending on the situation, an employee may still be asked to find coverage themselves, but the early notice helps plan in case multiple people have conflicts during a shift.
• Be proactive in communicating: Do not wait for a Supervisor or Professional Staff member to reach out to you about a missed shift. If the missed shift was an accident, it is better to own your mistake and communicate that to your direct supervisor. If you have any questions or uncertainties always ask!

First Missed Shift:

• As long as the employee does not have any other warnings on file, the first missed shift will result in a written warning. This is especially true for those employees who communicate as much as possible about the situation. We want to be understanding when mistakes happen, but we also would like to know that your position at the Ping Center is a priority for you. Communicating readily helps prove that you value your job and respect the operation. First missed shifts may result in a meeting with Professional Staff if an employee has multiple warnings and/or does not provide any communication about the situation.

Second or Consecutive Missed Shifts:

• A second missed shift or multiple consecutive missed shifts will result in a meeting with professional staff about the situation. Employee will be given the opportunity to provide context about the situation and can anticipate being asked about the following topics:
  • Check-in on personal well-being
  • Reason for missing the shift
  • Reflection of individual job performance history
  • Job Importance / Prioritization / Time Management
  • Strategies or reflections on how this could be prevented in the future
• The outcome of this meeting will likely include a reflection activity on what was discussed in the meeting and strategies for preventing multiple missed shifts in the future. Professional staff will take all information into account when deciding on an outcome, so if a misunderstanding occurs, the absence may be deemed excusable resulting in a written warning.

Three or More Missed Shifts:

• If an employee was given a written warning, participated in a meeting with professional staff, completed a reflection activity, and they still miss a shift the employee can anticipate a final meeting with professional staff to discuss permanent or temporary termination from their position. 

Connect 2 Expectations

All Ping Center staff will have tasks assigned to them in Connect 2 based on their role in the facility.
