PURPOSE
This handbook is designed to inform you about the policies, regulations, work standards and benefits that govern the relationship we have with our employees. We hope the handbook will help you understand your responsibilities to
Campus Dining and our responsibilities to you. Following this set of work standards and policies will ensure a clean and safe work environment and help us better serve our customers.
This handbook is to be used as a reference for questions you may have regarding policies and practices. While the handbook covers many points, you may still have questions that are not answered here; if so, please discuss them with your supervisor. Also, there will be points in the handbook where it says specifically talk to your supervisor; these are areas that each location supervisor will have specific information for you. It is important to ask them for it.
In this handbook, the term “supervisor” is used as a generic term referring to and indicating Team Leaders, Assistant
Food Service Directors, Food Service Directors, Production Managers, or anyone that you directly report to while on duty.
All employment relationships with Campus Dining are on an at-‐will basis. Thus, although Campus Dining hopes that our relationships with our employees are long-‐term and mutually rewarding, the company reserves the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time.
The policies in this handbook are subject to change at the sole discretion of the company. From time to time, you may receive updated information concerning changes in policy.

Signage with specific information is posted in all locations prior to these events. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to your Team Leader or Assistant Food Service
Director in your location.
YOUR SUPERVISOR
The best and most immediate source of information about your job and the company is your supervisor. This is the person you should rely on in job related matters. Do not hesitate to ask questions or request assistance. Your supervisor has the answer or can get it for you. That is part of his/her job. Another part of your supervisor’s job is directing work activities and making sure that the job is performed efficiently and according to the high standards set by Campus
4
Dining. Work with your supervisor, and if you see a better way of performing a task, discuss it with him/her. Many times the person doing the job is in the best position to recognize better ways of doing it. Your viewpoint is important and your supervisor will appreciate your input. Honest and open communication is essential if you are to develop a good working relationship with your supervisor.
COMMUNICATION AND PROBLEM SOLVING
At Campus Dining, we believe that communication is a two-‐way street. We encourage not only our supervisors to communicate with their employees, but we encourage our employees to communicate with their supervisors. We want our employees to know and understand the reason things are done in a certain way and the reasons for various policies or changes in methods of operation. We are convinced that a well-‐informed employee is a better employee.
Employees should have an environment in which they feel comfortable offering suggestions, discussing work related problems, and registering complaints. Your supervisor will be happy to discuss any work-‐related matter with you. We encourage all employees to take advantage of our “Open Door Policy” and relate their concerns to the management staff. Even in the best working relationships, misunderstandings and differences will occur and should be given immediate attention. An informal talk with your supervisor is usually the easiest and most effective method of solving problems.
We would also like your suggestions and ideas as to how we can improve our operations. Finding different or better ways of doing things will help provide better service for our customers, improve efficiency, and in the long run will make all of our jobs more satisfying and rewarding.
We suggest you check out your location’s student employee bulletin board for new procedures or upcoming events, changes in work procedures, and other notices that might affect your work. Keep yourself up-‐to-‐date on news within our operations as it may affect you. If you encounter any problems or you need additional information to carry out your responsibilities, don’t hesitate to talk with your supervisor.

TRAINING
ON-‐THE-‐JOB TRAINING
Most of the time your training will take place on the job, and will continue for the duration of your employment with
Campus Dining. In addition to the instruction received from your supervisor, you will learn from fellow employees and from observation.
We want you to become familiar with your job and new surroundings quickly. To help get you started, your supervisor will discuss your job responsibilities with you, show you around, and familiarize you with your new job.
ORIENTATION/RIGHT TO KNOW TRAINING
All new students are required to complete an Orientation e-‐learning, which includes Right to Know Training, within the first 2 weeks of hire . Returning students are also required to complete the Orientation e-‐learning, which is one of the two (2) fall e-‐learnings, during a specified time frame at the beginning of the academic year. The Orientation e-‐learning can be found on the CMU web page www.cmich.edu
in Blackboard (Bb), in a course titled Campus Dining. Students will receive e-‐mail notification with the specified time frame to complete the e-‐learning. New students will also receive a location-‐specific Orientation at their location of employment, which will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time with the location Hiring Manager. Student employees who fail to complete or pass the e-‐learning and the location-‐
6
specific Orientation within the specified time frame will receive a “No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show” Write Up and will be required to complete the Orientation e-‐learning and location-‐specific Orientation within a time frame designated by the Location.
A No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show is considered a final warning in our Attendance Policy.
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Each Academic year, all student employees of Campus Dining will be required to complete three (3) e-‐learnings in which safety, sanitation and customer service topics are covered. There are two (2) e-‐learnings in the fall semester and one (1) in the spring semester. All of the information in the e-‐learnings is extremely important in helping you to be successful in your job and you will be held responsible for knowing and applying all information on a daily basis. You will be provided a two-‐week time frame in which each training must be completed and you will be compensated for your time spent on the training.
The requirements for successfully completing each Student Development e-‐Learning are:
•
Watching the entire training video, which average 25 minutes in length.
•
Filling out the verification form with your information for tracking purposes.
•
Answering the quiz questions on material presented in the training
These trainings are a required condition of employment with Campus Dining.
Student employees who fail to complete or pass an e-‐learning within the specified time frame will receive a “No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show” Write Up and will be required to complete the e-‐learning within a time frame designated by the location. Failure to complete a second e-‐ learning within the specified time frame will result in termination of employment with Campus Dining.
Please note that a confirmation email is sent to your cmich.edu account to ensure that you have completed the e-‐ learning. Read your e-‐mails carefully because an e-‐mail is also sent when you have not passed an e-‐learning and will prompt you to retake it before the deadline.
GREETER/CASHIER TRAINING
Being a Greeter or a Cashier demands extra responsibility due to handling cash, as well as acting as both a host and security in the restaurants and retail operations. Greeters and Cashiers are responsible for meeting and greeting the guest upon arrival, matching the CentralCard photos to students, monitoring the dining room and ensuring that product does not leave the building. Most locations require additional screening and training to become a greeter or cashier.
Please see your supervisor for more information on becoming a greeter or cashier in your location.
WORK ASSIGNMENTS, WHEN TO WORK AND SCHEDULES
Students may not work more than 50 hours within a two-‐week pay period. This rule applies to hours worked per pay period combined at any and all campus jobs held. It is the responsibility of the student employee to ensure he/she does not work over 50 hours per pay period and Student Employment Services will monitor hours worked for violations of the policy. Students who exceed the limitations, after receiving one warning for violations to the policy, will be terminated from their position(s). Student employees will still be able to work 40 hours per week in the summer. International students may work up to 20 hours per week.
Campus Dining utilizes an online scheduling program: When To Work ( whentowork.com
). When To Work (W2W) features several functions that will be a benefit to you:
•
You select when you prefer to work and W2W uses this information to build the schedule around your preferences.
•
You can view your schedule any time or anywhere, utilizing a computer or a smart phone.
•
There is a Trade Board function that allows you to trade and pick up shifts.
7
Once a scheduled is published, you will receive an email from W2W letting you know that your schedule is available.
Schedules will be published throughout the semester and may be different than the schedule you originally received.
It is your responsibility to review W2W regularly and view your schedule.
SCHEDULED PUBLISHING DATES FOR THE 2015-‐2016 ACADEMIC YEAR FOR ALL LOCATIONS EXCEPT CATERING
ARE AS FOLLOWS:
MANDATORY WORK DATES
Location-‐specific mandatory work dates may be posted in your location. If you are scheduled to work shift(s) on these dates, you must work or have a substitute to cover your shift(s). Failure to do so will result in termination of employment with Campus Dining.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
Students who accept summer employment are expected to work the summer dates as stated, and will be terminated from Campus Dining employment if they fail to work those dates.
POLICIES
•
You are expected to be in uniform, punch in and arrive at your workstation at your scheduled time.
•
If a student works a shift that is in excess of five (5) consecutive hours, he/she may be given a 15-‐minute break. As you are on the clock, a meal may not be taken during this time (See Meal Policy on page 17).
•
If a student works six (6) consecutive hours, he/she may be given a half hour, unpaid break.
•
Breaks may be taken only with the approval of a supervisor and in a time and manner that does not interfere with business efficiency.
•
Depending on business demands, schedules and/or job duties may change at the discretion of your supervisor. Catering may add a shift based on your painted availability up to 48 hours prior to the shift without having to call you first. Any shift added within 48 hours of the shift start time will require contact being made with the student employee.
•
Know and understand your job duties and complete them daily. Refer to Job Duty task lists.
8
•
You are hired for the entire semester and are required to work through exam week. Campus Dining will not rehire any student submitting a two-‐week notice for any or all shifts on or after November 8, 2015 and
March 27, 2016.
•
Any unexcused absence beginning the Thursday before finals week to the end of finals week will result in termination. The employee will be ineligible to work for Campus Dining in the future if this occurs.
•
Students who work in seven-‐day residential locations (RFoC, FFCo and Robinson) will be scheduled for weekend shifts every other weekend. “Weekend” shifts are defined as shifts on Saturday and Sunday.
Students who work in any Residential Market location will be scheduled for weekend shifts every other weekend. Weekend shifts are defined as any shift starting after 5 p.m. Friday and all day Saturday and
Sunday.
•
In the event that CMU classes are canceled due to severe weather conditions, student employees will not be required to work unless they live in the complex in which they work. However, we do ask that you come in if you are able to safely, as we do still have to operate all the locations on campus . You are required to notify your location if you are not able to make it to work safely, or your absence will be considered a No-‐Call-‐No-‐
Show.
In the event that an individual location has to close due to unforeseen circumstances, student employees are still required to report to work. A message will be sent out on W2W if you will not need to report to work your scheduled shifts. If no message is sent, you are required to work your scheduled shifts.
Failure to report will be considered a No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show.
•
When To Work (W2W) will be the main communication tool utilized by Campus Dining to share information with student employees. It is the responsibility of each student employee to check W2W regularly. Your cmich email must be the primary email within W2W and all messages will be sent to your cmich email account. Some locations require a minimum number of scheduled hours per week. Please see individual location for details.
TIME RECORDS
Accurate time records are important. You will use your CentralCard to clock in/out on the electronic time clock. You are responsible for bringing your CentralCard with you to punch in.
If the CentralCard is forgotten, you will need to go and get the card in order to punch in. This may result in a Write Up for a tardy, or a work performance Write Up for not having your CentralCard. This timecard system is the record from which your pay will be figured. It is therefore important that the information submitted is accurate. Please note, employees are expected to work the hours that they are scheduled. Hours worked in excess of your regularly scheduled hours require management approval. Please discuss
working in excess of scheduled hours with your supervisor to be granted approval first.

PAYDAY
The pay week runs Sunday through Saturday. Students are paid every two weeks on Thursday. Your pay will cover the time you worked during the preceding two weeks, not the hours worked during the week in which you are paid.
Students do not receive holiday pay. The pay schedule will be posted near the time clock. If you have any questions about your pay or the pay dates please see a supervisor.
As part of CMU’s continuing effort to be sustainable, all employees are paid electronically. You must sign into the Central

•
Direct Deposit – Your pay is deposited into a checking or savings account anywhere in the United States,

Warriner 204. You may change from the CMU Money Card to Direct Deposit by contacting the Payroll Office at 774-‐
3481.
ATTENDANCE POLICIES
We know that situations may arise when you might be absent or late. To accommodate for these situations and still have an efficient operation, we have set up the following procedures.
You are hired for the entire semester and are required to work through exam week. Campus Dining will not rehire any student submitting a two-‐week notice for any or all shifts on or after November 8, 2015 and March 27, 2016.
The only exception is absence due to serious illness. Campus Dining will require medical verification for this illness. Any unexcused absence beginning the Thursday before finals week to the end of finals week will result in termination. The employee will be ineligible to work for Campus Dining in the future if this occurs.
ABSENCES
Failure to report for your first scheduled shift will result in removal from all your shifts on the schedule. These shifts will not be held for you and may be filled by another student.
An absence is considered unexcused, unless:
•
Prior arrangements have been made with a supervisor. Documentation may be required (ex. Funeral)
•
A doctor’s note is provided
-‐or-‐
•
A substitute is found by you to cover the shift through the Trade Board on W2W.
If you are ill and unable to work, you are still responsible for finding a substitute to cover your shift. Calling in sick without a substitute is considered unexcused, unless you provide a note documenting that you were seen by a doctor, due to illness on the day of absence. This note must be submitted to your supervisor no later than the next scheduled day following your absence, or the absence will remain unexcused . If you miss 3 or more consecutive days due to illness, you will be required to provide a doctor’s statement, documenting your ability to return to work with no restrictions.
10
If you are unable to work your scheduled shift due to an unexpected or unavoidable situation, you should attempt to find a replacement and inform your supervisor of your situation at least one hour prior to the start of your shift. If you do not report for your shift, a courtesy call may be made to clarify if you are coming into work. Whether you receive a call or not, a policy infraction has occurred . W2W messages, email and text messages are not considered an appropriate form of communication when dealing with attendance . Do not depend on others to report for you.
Excessive absences from the job however legitimate or necessary will result in disciplinary action and possible termination.
SUBSTITUTES
If you are unable to work your scheduled shift, you are responsible for finding your own substitute utilizing the When To
Work (W2W) Trade Board. Failure to follow the guidelines or abusing the Trade Board on W2W may result in disciplinary action. Once another student employee has agreed to work your shift, you are no longer responsible to work your scheduled shift. Do not expect a supervisor to find a substitute for you! If you are absent and a supervisor finds a substitute to cover your shift, it is still considered an unexcused absence on your record. If you agree to pick up or trade a shift, you are responsible for that shift. If at a later time, you find out you cannot work that shift, you must find a substitute. Substitutes must be active Campus Dining Student employees, hired at your location. If you repeatedly sub out your shift, you may be asked to drop your shift by a member of management.
TARDINESS
You are expected to report to work on time . Remember that you must be in uniform and report to your workstation by your scheduled time. Failure to do so will be considered tardiness and will result in disciplinary action. If you are late 5 minutes or more, your tardiness will be considered an offense and you will receive a write up, following the parameters of the attendance policy.
Please call your supervisor if you are unavoidably delayed; however, this does not excuse your tardiness.
NO-‐CALL-‐NO-‐SHOW
If you fail to notify management before the start of your shift that you will be unable to make it in to work, or if you fail to complete or pass an e-‐learning within the specified time frame , it will be considered a No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show . Your first
No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show offense will be considered a final warning . Your second No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show offense will result in immediate termination.
A No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show will be considered an offense step in the progressive disciplinary process and not counted separately. Example: Joe Student has one write up and today has a No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show. The No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show would count as his second write up and final warning for a No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show. The next tardy/unexcused offense for Joe would be a third (3 rd ) write up and final warning. The next No-‐Call-‐No-‐Show or offense for Joe would be termination of employment.

EMPLOYEE CONDUCT
BUSINESS CONDUCT

Campus Dining/ARAMARK’s policy is to comply with all domestic and foreign laws and to conduct its business in an ethical manner. Employees may not engage in any conduct or transaction in the course of their employment with

DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND PROCEDURES
Occasionally employees need coaching about their job performance and violations of policy. Supervisors strive to address performance issues in the most effective way possible. This requires the employee and the supervisor to work together to define the performance issues and agree on ways to improve upon them. The supervisor is responsible to communicate expectations and establish a plan to improve the performance or behavior. If improvement is not achieved, further disciplinary action may result, up to and including termination. In some circumstances, behavior may be serious enough to result in immediate termination from Campus Dining. Campus Dining must always retain the right and the flexibility to skip one or more steps in the disciplinary process.
Disciplinary action will be recorded through the course of the academic year. Summer is considered separate from the academic year. In the summer attendance policy, termination will occur after the 3 rd offense. The second offense/write up will be considered a final warning.
Disciplinary Action
It is the policy of Campus Dining to treat all employee performance and discipline problems in a fair and consistent manner. In all but the most serious cases, each employee will be advised of the incorrect behavior and be given an opportunity to correct the problem. Attendance/Tardiness and Work Policies/Performance are considered two separate categories and will be tracked separately. If you receive a fourth (4 th) offense in either of the two categories separately it will result in termination. The third (3 rd ) offense will be considered a final warning.
Consistent with our general philosophy that any discipline is intended to be corrective in nature; your manager will follow a progressive disciplinary process. These steps will include:
