Staff Development

As with any effective retail organization, customer service is a primary and ongoing concern of Miami University Bookstore. To assure that we meet the highest standards in this area, it is essential that every employee be where they are supposed to be at the times they are supposed to be there. When illness causes an employee to be unable to perform their duties, there are procedures that must be followed.

Call-In Policy
If you are unable to be at work at your scheduled time due to illness, you must call the store at least thirty minutes before the beginning of your shift. While the policy is the same for all stores, the numbers to call are different.

Call-In Times and Phone Numbers
Whether or not you have accumulated sick leave, you must call-in as listed below. Calling by the times listed will qualify you to receive payment of sick leave if you have accumulated sick leave hours.

On the Oxford campus, before 8:30 AM call 529-2603. You may leave a voice mail message if necessary. After 8:30 AM, call 529-2600 and the call will be directed to your manager.
On the Hamilton campus, call your manager at 785-3241.
On the Middletown campus, call your manager at 727-3309.

Returning To Work
You are expected to call daily unless you are on extended medical leave or other arrangements have been made with your supervisor. If we do not receive a call, you will be expected at work at your scheduled time. Failure to appear will be considered an unexcused absence and will hinder your qualification for payment of sick leave (assuming you have accumulated sick time).

If you are unable to report to work due to illness, you must notify your manager as indicated below. Whenever possible, please make the call yourself. Do not send word with another employee.

Call your direct supervisor one hour prior to your scheduled shift. If your supervisor is unavailable, you should leave the information on his/her voice mail, including the reasoon for your absence and - if you expect to be late- the reason for your tardiness and your anticipated time of arrival at work.

Call-In Times and Phone Numbers

Whether or not you have accumulated sick leave, you must call-in as listed below. Calling in one hour before your scheduled start time will qualify you to receive payment of sick leave if you have accumulated sick leave hours.

In order to qualify for payment of sick leave (if you have accumulated sick hours), you must call at least one (1) hour before your start time. Please remember that sufficient advance notification will allow us time to staff appropriately without you.
