Termination and Dismissal

If a student's job performance is unsatisfactory, the supervisor should discuss the situation with the student and make an effort to assist her in improving her performance by clearly communicating expectations, perhaps setting up schedules and meetings and "to do" sheets. Past reasons for termination range from persistent irresponsibility/unreliability to abuse of their position in some manner to payroll fraud. If assistance is needed in dealing with the student concerning job related problems, please call the Student Employment Coordinator. If the situation does not improve, the employer should describe, in writing, problems with the student's job performance and maintain written records. If a student is terminated, a copy of the termination letter should be sent to the Student Employment Coordinator. No employer is obliged to retain a student who does not perform her job, although it is important to allow the student to improve once she's been informed of your concerns with performance.
