IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FALL SEMESTER SCHEDULING. READ CAREFULLY!

I am grateful that several of you have pointed out to me that our current way of scheduling hours is unfair to those who have morning classes.  I agree with this assessment, and have devised a new way of scheduling for fall semeser, which I outline below:

Once you have registered for fall semester classes, send me an e-mail (treynold@indiana.edu) containing the following information:

1)  your class schedule
2)  a listing of any other hours when you cannot regularly work (because of another job, etc.)
3)  a listing of the hours you prefer to work

I need your e-mail containing these three elements no later than Saturday, April 27.

When I have all your schedules, I will divide up the hours, doing my very best to give each of you some of your preferred ones.  Should several employees want the same hours, they will be given to those with the most staff seniority. 

I ran this method of scheduling by most of the PSAs who worked during the day last Thursday and Friday.  The overwhelming majority approved of the new method and thought it more fair than the old method.  Even so, please know that this new way of scheduling is on a trial basis.  If it does not work well for us, we'll come up with another plan for next spring.

If you have any questions about scheduling, please let me know.  I look forward to getting your e-mail by April 27. 

Thanks for all you do.     --Terry
