3.) I have been offered a job at a place off-campus that pays a little better than my current job and has hours that fit with my class schedule better. How should I handle this situation with my current on-campus job?

2. After deciding to pursue the off-campus job, I give my supervisor notice at least two weeks in advance of my last day that I plan on leaving my on-campus job.
3. After deciding to pursue the off-campus job, I call my supervisor and tell her that I will not be coming in to my on-campus job anymore. The pay is better at the new job, and I want to start making that extra money as soon as possible. She will understand.
4. After deciding to pursue the off-campus job, I just stop showing up for my on-campus job without telling anybody. I did not get along with my supervisor, and the work I did was not all that important. I will not be missed.

4.) Today is Monday. I am scheduled to work on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. At 2 p.m. on that same Wednesday afternoon, I also have a midterm exam for my math class and I forgot to notify my supervisor. What should I do?

1. Notify my supervisor of the conflict as soon as possible, and make a better effort in the future to let him know about any possible conflicts before they arise.
2. Do not show up for work, and do not tell my supervisor why I could not make it until I go in for my next scheduled shift. I missed because of class, and my education comes first. He will understand.
3. Wait until Wednesday, and leave a message with a fellow student worker in the office right before my scheduled shift is to begin.
4. Email my professor immediately and tell her that I request to make up the exam because I have to be at my on-campus job that day.

5.) I am scheduled for a seven hour shift today. I have been here for three hours already - it is 1 p.m., and I am hungry. I want to get lunch, and I know that because I am working a seven hour shift, I can take a fifteen minute paid break and a thirty minute unpaid meal break. What should I do?

1. Drop whatever I am doing and take off for lunch. I do not have to tell anybody that I'm taking a lunch break, because I am entitled to it and do not have to ask permission.
2. Leave for my lunch break without telling anybody. It has been a slow day today, and nobody will notice I have left. It is the perfect opportunity to stretch a thirty minute lunch break into a one hour lunch break!
3. Let my supervisor know that I want to take my thirty minute break. Ask if there is anything important that needs to be done before I leave or if I need to wait for somebody else to return before I go.
4. Just keep working and hope my supervisor remembers to let me take my break.

2. Find a way to make it in. If I miss a day at my on-campus job, I will be terminated.
3. Do not do anything. My supervisor will either figure it out on his own or call me to find out why I am not there.
4. Call my supervisor as soon as possible and let him know I am sick and will not be able to work today.

Select your answer to question 6:   a    b    c    d   

7.) A student employee in my office wants to make personal copies. The student employee does not want to spend money to buy a textbook for her class.

3. Tell the office supervisor right away.
4. Tell all the other students.
