| Conduct and disciplinary
action is a part of student development as it teaches students
proper chains of command and helps them encompass the responsibility
a job provides them. If students are developed properly, they
can learn from workplace situations.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with
local laws and regulations and to comply with policies and procedures
prescribed by the College and their employing department.
Disciplinary action shall be considered constructive action
for the purpose of salvaging basically satisfactory employees
and should consist of the least severe action deemed necessary
to accomplish this purpose. Each offense must be judged on its
own seriousness with consideration given to the student's past
record as well as the job description of the individual involved.
Level One: Oral Reprimand
It is encouraged that the supervisor speaks privately with
the student and discusses the following:
- What is expected of the student while working with the department?
- Explain to the student how they have not met the requirements
and give examples of unacceptable behavior.
- Let the student speak in their defense for their action
or failure of action.
- Keep a written account of the conversation and put it in
the student's employment file. Ask the student to read over
and initial to make sure all points are clear.
Level Two: Written Reprimand
It is encouraged that the supervisor and director/department
head consult with each other at this stage.
- Draft a letter to the student reviewing the points covered
during the oral reprimand that needed to be corrected and
serve a strong warning that a change must be made within a
given time.
- Meet with the student to discuss options and set goals.
- Put a copy of the letter in the student's employment file
as well as any notes taken from a discussion with the student.
Level Three: Termination
- Speak with the student directly or draft a second letter
notifying the student of the department's intentions for termination.
- b. Submit a termination SEAF to the Student Employment Programs
Coordinator in the Career Center. Have the timesheet signed
and ready for delivery to Payroll as of the specified date
