Student Employee Responsibilities 

Each student employee is an important and valuable asset to the successful operation of Clarkson College. We want you to enjoy the association and expect that you will put forth your very best effort. The following information is general in nature. Your supervisor will tell you what is expected of you for your specific job assignment.  

  

1. The people in the office where you are assigned are depending on your help. Continued tardiness or failure to notify your office whenever you cannot report for work can be sufficient grounds for termination of your employment. This will make you ineligible for rehire with Clarkson College and The Nebraska Medical Center.

  

2. You are expected to work the hours assigned and to indicate the number of hours worked on your time card each working day, before you leave. Your supervisor must approve any departure from this procedure.

  

3. Avoid making appointments that will conflict with your working hours. If you cannot avoid doing so, please notify your supervisor as far in advance as possible.

  

4. When answering the telephone, identify the office in which you work. Your supervisor may also wish for you to state your name (for example: "Admissions, John Doe speaking").

  

5. Information regarding individual students or staff members that you may come in contact with during the course of your work is considered to be confidential and may not be released without your supervisor's specific approval. Breach of confidentiality may result in termination of employment from Clarkson College and The Nebraska Medical Center.

  

6. Your friends should not visit you during working hours. Personal phone calls are highly discouraged and may be made only with your supervisor's specific permission. Cell phones should be turned off during work hours. iPods and PDAs should also be turned off during work hours.

  

7. Ask questions whenever you do not understand the instructions given to you; make sure you understand what is expected of you.

  

8. Keep track of the total number of hours you have worked. Work-study students cannot work beyond the total amount of their award. You are responsible for keeping track of your hours worked and award balance.

  

9. This is a job. You are not being paid to study. If you have no work to do, let your supervisor know so that they can assess the situation and respond accordingly. They may allow you to stay on the job and study if available to work as the need arises, or they may modify your work hours as appropriate to the needs of the department.
