Weekly Email

Hi Everyone!

Here’s the weekly email!

 

From the OCs

Please note that a change in printing will take place this coming Saturday, November 20, 2010. More information concerning how this will affect the lab assistants will follow later in the week.

 

From Phil

Thanksgiving Break Scheduling:

Labs employees will be able to work more than 20 hours during the week of Thanksgiving break. This is under the strict condition that the sum of your hours from Sat 11/20 – Tues 11/23 is not more than 20. After that, hours accrued on Wednesday 11/24 and Friday 11/26 may push the week’s total over 20 hours.

 

The website will still only let you pick up 20 hours for that week, but you can contact me with the date, time, and location of a shift that you want to pick up and I can add it for you.

 

Normal scheduling policy will resume at the start of the next pay week on Saturday 11/27.  Please get in touch if you have any questions about how this will apply to you.

 

From Spencer

Group Leader Evaluations are due at 11:59 PM on October 18th

Also all employees should be logging on to the desk station computers using the ‘oalassist’ login and password.  Please remember to do this.  And if you notice that a computer isn’t logged on with oalassist, log off and switch it before it locks, and you have to restart the computer.

Lastly, don’t forget to report every interaction with a patron using the question tracker.  This is very important, and we need all the help we can get.

 

From Seth

We’ve had a great week in the TIPs contest!  One fellow of fairness, suggested we divide the total points for a group by the number of people in the group (average number of TIPs per group member), thus evening the playing field.  Starting next week, the numbers will be reported that way.  Here are some of this week’s highlights:

 

Sarah Godfrey’s group moved from fourth to first with a strong 12 TIP lead.  Jaewon’s group deserves honorable mention for moving from dead last to third place.  Lynne’s group also made good strides to make the top 5.  The fact that one person can make a difference was strongly shown by Jarom, who has completed 23 TIPs points!  One person can’t do it all, though.  In this race, Jaewon’s group is strong and steady with each group member completing an almost equal number.  Keep up the great work!  Y’all are awesome!

Thanks and have a great week! Let us know if you have any questions!
