Even though you are hired for "One Area" (shop, costumes, office, box office), there are other areas in which you may be asked to work if we are in a crunch. Occasionally, we need extra help in the other areas of theatre production. If your area is in good shape, you may be loaned out to these areas on a day-by-day basis.
Our theatre arts program and production company wishes to encourage the gifts and talents of the people who work and learn in our space. If you feel that you prefer to work in another area of the theatre, please tell your work supervisor! If you see areas of our theatre work program which need improvement, please share your ideas and insights with your supervisor. Our job is to build a better community together. We all need to "work" toward that goal. A work-study position in the theatre is both a privilege and an honor. To ensure we all take pride in our work, please adhere to the following:
1. You must notify your work supervisor if you will be absent from work or if you will be late (or need to leave early). Failure to call in advance (minimum 24 hours notice please) will result in an unexcused work absence. More than 2 unexcused work absences during the quarter will result in termination of employment.
2. You are expected to be available during the times you sign up to work.
3. You are required to complete your time sheet each day you work. This will minimize the chance of forgetting if you actually worked on any particular day and will aid the department if we are ever audited by Financial Aid.
4. There will be NO excused absences given one week prior to the opening of a production. Absences during this period will count toward your two "cuts" for the quarter.
5. Regular job performance evaluations will occur for both employee and supervisor. You will meet with your supervisor to discuss your job performances at the end of the quarter. These evaluations will be turned in to the Personnel Office. You will also complete an evaluation of your supervisors and the theatre student work program at this time.
