Notifying Music Library Staff in Case You’re Sick or Unable to Get In For Your Shift
How to notify us that you can't make it in when you're sick, or if the weather makes it too dangerous to travel (I'd rather you stay home than risk your life!)
If it's the night before –
email everyone (if you can) - the supervisors and all your cohorts... someone might be able to take your shift if they know about it.
If it is early in the morning and you're supposed to open –
please your supervisor's phone as early as you possibly can - they might be able to adjust their morning routine and get in to open for you. But also send an email/text your cohorts - someone else might be able to as well.
If the Music Library is already open for the day –
please call in and let whomever answers know.
If we've already opened and the shift is later in the day –
you should call in and send an email or text to everyone (if you can) so that if someone has some free time and wants some cash they can come in and cover it for you.
The main thing is do not just send an email to your supervisor, get the information out to as many of us as you can.
If your supervisor is in a meeting all day - or off or out of town at a conference - the information won’t get passed on if you just email her. Also, we worry about you because we ‘haven’t heard from you’ (even though technically you’ve left information but no one knows it), and we can't do anything to try to find a sub for you.
