If you work 8 hours a day, you are entitled to two 15 minute breaks and a half hour unpaid lunch. Breaks may not be combined or added to lunch. Breaks and lunch should be arranged with the supervisor on duty. You must notify your supervisor when you leave and return from breaks and lunch.

6.     Once the quarter is underway, requests for work schedule changes should be avoided.

9.     At all times be courteous to patrons and co-workers. Patron's needs should receive top priority and they should not be turned away without a satisfactory answer or a referral to someone who can help.

10.     Dress appropriately & modestly. Halter tops, tank tops, short shorts, or bare feet are inappropriate.

11.     You are expected to work your regularly scheduled hours during finals, unless arrangements have been made with your supervisor.

12.     Due to the close proximity to equipment, drinks and food are not allowed in public or work areas.

13.     In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act, no smoking is permitted in any part of the library. Also, liquor or illegal drugs are not allowed in the library.

14.     You will be on probation for the first three months of employment. During and following this probationary period, your job performance will be evaluated periodically.

15.     When the first serious infraction of policy occurs, the person will be taken aside, the rules will be explained and a warning will be stated.

When the second violation of policy occurs, the person will be taken aside, the rules will be explained, a written statement will be presented to them and they will be put on probation.

When a third violation of policy occurs, the person will be taken aside and told they no longer work in the position. They will be asked to approve and sign their final time sheet.

I have read and understand the library student assistant code of conduct and realize that violation of any item is grounds for probation, suspension, or termination.

I have been furnished a copy of the code of conduct to retain. A signed copy will be retained by the library.
