Breaks

Rules for taking paid breaks:

• A student working a 4-hour shift is entitled to a paid 15-minute break on the clock at any time during that shift other than the first and last 15 minutes of the shift.
• A student working two 4-hour shifts in a row (8 hours total) is entitled to a paid 15-minute break during each shift other than the first and last 15 minutes of the shifts. The breaks must be taken at separate times. The student is also required to clock out for a 5- to 30-minute unpaid break at a separate time from the paid breaks.
• REMEMBER THESE BREAKS CANNOT BE COMBINED.

IMPORTANT: When you decide to take a break, you must sign out on the Stack Maintenance Break Sign-Out Sheet, which is located near the sign in book at the Circulation Desk. At this time, you must have the Circulation Desk supervisor on duty initial this sheet with the understanding that you will return within the 15-minute break rule time.

Staff lounge

A student assistant wanting to use the staff lounge should get the key from his/her supervisor. Student assistants may store food items in the refrigerator, use the microwave, and purchase beverages from the vending machine. Please respect others' food items. Also, student assistants may use the staff restroom in the lounge. Student assistants may also use the staff lounge while on their breaks if they receive one.

Note: The student lounge is not to be visited while on the clock. Student assistants are permitted to get a beverage, etc, but lounging while on the clock is not permitted.
