ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFETY PROCEDURES:

Loyola's accident prevention and safety procedures are designed to protect employees, patients, faculty, students, and visitors. Each employee may help by:

• Immediately reporting all accidents, injuries, and unsafe conditions to the supervisor.
• Learning emergency phone numbers and the locations of fire alarms, fire extinguishers, defibrillators and other safety equipment.
• Becoming familiar with and demonstrating safe and healthy practices specific to the job and campus.
• Learning and following procedures for proper treatment and disposal of hazardous materials.

APPEARANCE:

The personal appearance of Student Workers while on the job is important and reflects the University's image. Student Workers are expected to dress appropriately for their position and be clean and neat at all times.

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY:

The responsibilities of the job require regular attendance and punctuality. If you will be absent or tardy, please contact your supervisor as early as possible so that staffing may be adjusted. Individual departments may have more specific requirements regarding notification for absence and tardiness by which you must abide. Please note: three consecutive days of absence without prior notification to the supervisor constitutes a voluntary resignation.

CHANGES IN PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Employees must notify Human Resources to record changes in marital status, name, or other personal information.

Change of address or telephone number, direct deposit and federal tax withholding changes may be done by the employee through in the Employee Self-Service Portal (ESS). Please note that change of address in your Human Resources file deals only with your employment status. This does not flow to your Loyola school records. Change of address should also be recorded within LOCUS, the student information system.

• Graduating student workers and current student workers who will no longer be working for the University should update their mailing address with Human Resources to prevent a delay with their last W-2 form. Address changes can be completed in the Employee Self-Service portal.  

Employees can view their current tax withholding elections using Employee Self-Service.  Employees can update their Federal tax withholding in Employee Self-Service.
