Calling off
It's a weekend. You call off because you want to relax. How does this impact your peers at work?
There are more jobs to be done... what could have been a slow day at work is now very busy, this is also not good teamwork!
You don't show up to work and didn't notify management. What's this called?
No call, No show
UTO
Unscheduled time off
How many minutes is your lunch break?
30 minutes
Suppose you are scheduled to work on a day you know you requested off. What do you do?
Talk to supervisors and show them your request in teams!
Please do this in advance, when the schedule is posted. If it has been denied in Teams it will say why in the notes. If denied you are expected to work your shift even if you requested it off.
Ugh... You're stuck in traffic even though you left with plenty of time to get to work. You're only going to be a few minutes late. Should you call or text?
Call only! Texting is not a sufficient way to communicate with the office. Always call if you're going to be late so we know you're okay!
You've been absent for 3 consecutive days without calling management. What's this considered?
Job abandonment and you will be terminated
STO
Scheduled time off
You're scheduled for 2PM but get to work at 1:23PM. You want to start work early, is it okay to punch in?
You must have supervisory approval, otherwise this is considered an unauthorized adjustment of work hours!
What must be available in your "bank" in order for you to be approved for vacation?
PTO. If you do not have enough PTO your vacation request will most likely be denied.
How long before your shift should you call that you will not be coming in?
at least 2 hours
you call off the day after a holiday... is this okay?
No. Calling off the shift before or after the holiday. You will not be paid for the holiday and it the call off will go against your time and attendance.
PTO
Paid time off
If you are pinged for a job but don't accept it how long until you start accumulating lost minutes.
2 minutes
Uh oh! Something came up and your friend agreed to take your shift. What do you do?
Go into Teams and select offer shift. All requests off, shift offerings, or switching shift must go through the Teams app. This must be done for the same pay period and cannot be overtime for the person taking your shift.
Bad news... you are feeling ill and your mom offers to call work for you, so they know you're not coming in. Is this okay?
NO!!!! You must call supervisors/team leads yourself!
Suppose your shift begins at 12PM. You punch in at 12:07PM. What is this considered?
Tardiness
ITO
Ill time off
You become ill in the middle of your shift. There are many jobs in the system, and you ask to go home. Will this count against you?
Yes. Unless we downsize, early leaves count against your time and attendance.
When is the only time your PTO is not used?
When we ask you if you want to leave early. If you ask to leave early or call off for any reason at all your PTO is used.
Your car breaks down. You call us and say that you may be late or may not be in at all, but you'll call us back later when you know for sure. You never call us back. Why is this a concern?
if you cannot come in, we can call someone to cover your shift. If you don't call us, we are not sure if you are okay.
You're tired today, and you know there are jobs in the system. You decide to ignore your pages and notifications so you can relax for a half hour. What is this considered?
FMLA
Family Medical Leave Act
When you are working, you are asked to accept jobs until what point in your shift?
10 minutes before the end of your shift
What is the difference between PT and Casual positions?
Part timers MUST work 3 days a week at the time they were hired for. So, if someone was hired PT 11-7:30 that will be there start time 3 days a week. Casual work every weekend at varying times.
