Below is what we use at Wesley College. I shared more than just our attendance policy. :) Hopefully the formatting didn't mess up the information too much. Student Employee Expectations As an employee, you represent the Department of Student Success and Retention in terms of work ethic, image, and level of professionalism while also upholding academic integrity standards. You are not only a student, but also a paraprofessional member of Wesley’s programs in the Department of Student Success and Retention. Therefore, you will be expected to adhere to the below guidelines. Professionalism: As with any other job, employers expect employees to be on time, dedicated, mature, courteous, and active participants in the operations of the business. Being a student employee for the Department of Student Success and Retention is no different. Student employees should make every effort—no matter what a day presents—to be a paraprofessional who respects their coworkers, supervisors, and students we serve. Ethics: Student employees are expected to maintain a high ethical level of behavior. Speaking negatively about instructors, students, tutees, or tutor, will not be tolerated. If this type of unethical and unprofessional conversations occurs, the SSR team will meet to discuss appropriate course of action, and outcomes will be assessed on a case- by-case basis. Confidentiality: Student employees are required to sign an annual confidentiality agreement. When working with students, you will learn personal information about them, such as grades, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. All information must remain confidential. In addition, as per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), anything discussed or overheard concerning a student’s academic record is private unless you are given written, signed permission from the student. For more information about FERPA, please reference the appendices in this handbook. Substance Use: Students are not permitted to use substances, including but not limited to, drugs, alcohol, and tobacco while working. Academic Integrity: Any student worker who violates Wesley College’s Academic Honesty policy will be terminated. You can find an outline of the Academic Honesty Policy using the link below: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__wesley.edu_academics_policies_academic-2Dhonesty-2Dpolicy&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=yBiE514ByeBuT9iMcmLL81H9l3w_eWJJCNWWYb5qET4&m=-HzLT3CFgCoup6u4alJoEx1YELvXe8TfkwVPnfnpSF4&s=9zfc9QmKL6d1iCfNTpYzW4AKIOOHe6ay31nxNeAUC-c&e= Guidelines for Dress and Behavior: • Cell phone use [including texting] is prohibited while working. We understand emergencies may arise; in which case, we ask that you step out of the Tutoring Center (TC)/Academic Success Center (ASC) to use your cell phone. Set your phone to vibrate when working to prevent disturbing others who are studying. • Earbuds, iPods, music players, or headphones of any kind are NOT permitted. • FOOD IS NOT TO BE CONSUMED while on duty in the TC or the ASC. • Only water bottles with lids are permitted inside the TC and ASC. • Hats, other headgear such as visors or bandanas, and sunglasses are not permitted while working. • Clothing should be free from any words or phrasing that could be interpreted as obscene, suggestive, or offensive with regard to sex, religion, or orientation. • Necklines should be appropriate for a work environment. • Pants should not be overly baggy causing waistbands to hang below the waistline. Consequences for failure to adhere to the above guidelines: • First Offense - verbal warning • Second Offense– meeting with a departmental administrator and signed, written reprimand placed in the employee file • Third Offense - immediate dismissal Depending on the nature or severity of the offense, the Student Success and Retention team may decide to immediately terminate the student worker position within the department. Absence Policy: • Tutors must call or email the Coordinator of Tutoring Programs (302-736-2565) [log in to unmask] with any absences. Please do so as early as possible, in case you have a session with a student and other arrangements need to be made. • ASC Monitors should first try to find a replacement for their shift if they will be absent for any reason. In addition, they must call or email the Office Manager for Student Success and Retention (302-736-2525 or [log in to unmask]) to report absences and let her know the substitute. Please do so as early as possible, in case other arrangements need to be made. • IN ADDITION: o Failure to notify the Office Manager, Coordinator, and/or the Director of absences and/or excessive absences are unprofessional and will result in a review of your position. This supersedes the “3 strike” offense previously outlined.
