Hello, Rebecca,

We have an attendance policy for tutors that says they can miss work for health/medical reasons, family emergencies, or academic conflicts (e.g., if a professor requires them to attend a lecture, if they have a grad school interview, if they are playing with the university orchestra at the Christmas concert, or other such thing). If there is more than one tutor for a subject, they can swap hours with each other to be absent for other reasons as long as all the tutoring remains covered.

We emphasize this policy when we interview them in the spring, and again at the beginning of the fall semester. They seem to take it seriously.

Best,
--Leslie

Does anyone out there have an attendance policy for their tutors?  I try to be flexible with their schedules and allow for absences when they are stressed about a test but this time of year it is getting out of control.  I want to remain a friendly, on campus, flexible job while also instilling that this job is a commitment.  I welcome any ideas from others on their own attendance policy for their center. 

Thanks.
