Advantage of Stack Maintenance Work


Yes, there is an advantage to shelving and shelf reading. While working in the stacks, it's perfectly fine to wear your headphones and listen to what pleases you. Just pay close attention to the work you're doing as you listen, O.K.? Remember that BUSP policy states headphones may NOT be worn while you work at the circulation desk. When behind the desk, we need to have our ears ready and waiting to listen to our patrons' requests.

Give yourself a break.


Remember that if you're working a shift four hours long or longer, you deserve and are definitely entitled to a 15 minute break. Just let your supervisor know when you'd like to take your break, so he/she can help cover the desk in your absence. Breaks are not cumulative and cannot be used to arrive late or leave early.

Be prepared for tax time.

Gosh, what kind of a welcome back is that? But it's that time of year.

So that the information you need to file your taxes gets to you in a timely manner, please verify the home address information displayed on your paystub in OneStart's self-service. The address you see listed there is where your W2 forms will be mailed. If the address is wrong, let Terry know.

Indiana local tax withholding is determined by where an employee lives and/or works on January 1 of each year. Verify the county listed on your paystub information in the tax section, especially if you moved to a different county during 2008. If the county listed is not correct, let Terry know.

If you claim exemption from federal tax withholding or take Earned Income Credit, those forms must be filed each year. If you need to fill out a new form, guess what you need to do...That's right, let Terry know.

And...WELCOME BACK!
