What to Expect From Your Supervisor

• At the time of hire, before you begin your work-study position your supervisor should:
  • provide you with a printed job description
  • give you a written list of job expectations
  • explain the department dress code to you
  • discuss their policy on personal phone calls
  • discuss their break, rest, and meal period policy
  • discuss their expectations of your job responsibilities and behavior and what will happen if expectations are not being met
  • conduct an office/department orientation
  • let you know what you should do if you have a complaint and how you can file a formal complaint.
    

• provide evaluations of your work periodically, especially if you request one.

• provide you with work to do during your scheduled hours.

• make sure the office is open during your scheduled hours.

• provide job training, Web Time Entry training, counseling, supervision, and understanding.

• make an effort to help you improve your work performance if you are not performing at the level they expect.

• approve your Web Time Entry in time for you to be paid. You must submit your Web Time Entry with adequate time for your supervisor to approve your hours.

• make clear the consequences of not filling out your Web Time Entry daily and signing every two weeks.

• help monitor the amount of compensation you earn throughout the academic year to ensure that you do not earn more than you were awarded on your Work-Study Award.
